Big choice of barcodes...
Do you need an EAN number?
What format? EAN8, EAN13, Code 3 of 7, UPC to name a few.
You can get TrueType fonts for Windows to allow you to print barcodes from Word, Excel, Access etc.
If you want an EAN number, you have to apply (& pay) to the central body for a range.

Indeed ChrisB. From my work perspective, we use 3of9 barcodes by the million. Everything stored is barcoded individually. Anyhow, I can print off any you would like on hardwearing polyethylene material which will endure any weather conditions thrown at it.
Just a suggestion if you need something more hardwearing then a paper sticky label.

Depends on the application / environment IMO Dunk.
I've setup a EAN 13 system for a pottery manufacturer that sells into a major London department store. Their own factory shop has been using barcodes internally for some time and they run Code 3 of 9 or Code 3 of 7 (can't remember which). No problems with that because it's just internal applications.
The Code 3 of X is much easier to encode as you don't have to calculate check digits, although you usually get a VBA module thrown in when you buy a TT font license for doing the check digit calcs.
