Barcodes That Are Good Enough to Eat
Fast Company features the work of D-Barcode, a Japanese design firm that creates sophisticated designs out of ordinary barcodes for (mostly Japanese) packaged goods. A number of the ingenious designs have food themes, from a pizza to a pair of chopsticks picking up noodles.
An exclusive design can run as high as $4,000, but the company will license existing codes starting at $1,500 (plus an annual $200 fee).

According to some essay writing service that a food is any substance, usually composed of carbohydrates, fats, proteins and water, that can be eaten or drunk by an animal, including humans, for nutrition or pleasure. Items considered food may be sourced from plants, animals or other categories such as fungus or fermented products like alcohol. Although many human cultures sought food items through hunting and gathering, today most cultures use farming, ranching, and fishing, with hunting, foraging and other methods of a local nature included but playing a minor role.

i'm trying to understand what the design firm is charging for. i can see that it is a very unique and innovative idea, to alter the shape of a barcode and or the art around it to incorporate the barcode. leaving the main section of the code as is so it can be scanned, is very clever. so then i wonder, is the customer providing the design firm with a upc number, then the design firm generates the barcode, and then alters it to match the product it is being used on? i would love to see how it works and looks on a real world package.
i wonder if it would work here in the usa. if the upc code could still be scanned even if the top was not perfectly flush.
anyone else have any comments?
