1.4 Letter to Customers

Dear _______ ,

We have received your request to comply with the xxxxxx Bar Code Guidelines.  Our company supports the efforts of companies like yours that wish to improve the overall strength of our industry by using the latest technologies.

In an effort to facilitate the use of bar code and EDI, we adhere to the U.P.C. guidelines.  By aligning ourselves with this global set of guidelines, we are meeting the needs of many companies without favoring a few.

As you may be aware, the U.P.C. standard includes item-level and shipping container identification. The U.P.C. number should be used for bar code as well as other ordering, shipping and receiving, and related EDI transactions.  In fact, any time there is a need to communicate information about an item, the U.P.C. number should be used.

What We Provide

Since every guideline leaves some room for variables, we have developed a brief profile explaining bar code information specific to our company.  This will familiarize our trading partners with our bar code activities.  We have provided one for your convenience.

We are happy to comply with the industry standard and to meet your requirements.  If there are any questions please contact------. 

Sincerely,
