You might be wondering why I would highlight National Barcode Day. There are a couple reasons.
#1 I’m a science nerd and the implementation of barcodes revolutionized retail. I find things like that very interesting!
#2 Selling tags and labels with barcodes on them is what I do for a living. It’s a little more complicated than that, but barcodes and I have become very good friends in the last 15+ years.
Fun fact- the first product to have a UPC barcode on it was Juicy Fruit gum all the way back in 1974! So maybe go buy some of that today to celebrate!
