Friday Fun: Creative Bar Codes
We’re suckers for great packaging and unique attention to detail. Imagine our delight when we came across artful bar codes recently profiled in the Wall Street Journal.
Companies like Vanity Barcodes are turning tired UPCs into extraordinary pieces of art. But who is adopting these playful barcodes? WSJ lays out a timeline on their mainstreaming:
Nestle has gradually included vanity barcodes when redesigning packaging or launching new products. The company started in 2008 with smaller brands and those that don’t come in many flavors (and therefore require fewer barcode variations). Nestle’s Juicy Juice Sparkling Fruit Juice Beverage, which comes in three flavors, has bubbles rising up from its barcodes. Its Skinny Cow low-calorie dessert line is currently rolling out barcodes shaped like a cow’s spot.
