BarTender makes it easy to adhere to the latest labeling requirements with intelligent templates and configurable tools that fully integrate with your existing systems - helping you reduce risk and optimize operations.

Secure centralized control and compliance

BarTender labeling software is the standard in medical device manufacturing, chosen by companies ranging from Fortune 500 companies to small, specialty device manufacturers. Autoformat GS1 and HIBCC codes. Use the included UDI Intelligent Templatesâ„¢ to connect to your master data.

Add accurate GS1 and HIBCC-compliant codes with a simple drag and drop. The standards are built-in. BarTender includes over 95 different symbologies, and supports a comprehensive list of RFID tag types and ISO standards.

Be agile to meet changes in regulation, pricing or process with BarTender’s Intelligent Templates™. Edit a label’s data, format or design — updates occur immediately throughout your organization. Your label is ready to print, in real time, anywhere in the world it’s needed.

BarTender supports evolving interoperability standards through HL7-based UDI database (UDID) communication.

BarTender’s layered security features, ranging from basic print-only settings to complex role-based permissions with label format encryption give you configurable control over who can open, edit or print a label.

BarTender gives complete visibility to the labeling process — who accessed a label, what edits they made, where and when a label was printed. Capture e-signatures and complete audit trail for compliance with global regulations, including FDA 21 CFR Part 11.

BarTender continually manages and monitors the serialization — unique, random or sequential — that drives your regulatory compliance. Increment serial numbers at a single printer or at printers across your network.
