Publisher Services

Independent Publisher Services LLC (Publisher Services) is a specialized division of Bar Code Graphics, Inc. Our involvement with item identification and barcodes resulted from our participation with the Uniform Code Council's technical committee for creating the printing specifications for UPC symbols in 1974. When the book industry began publication identification, we also contributed to the industry requirements and consequently began assisting publishers of all sizes. Today we have an impressive client base of over 77,000 companies. Our customers range from small independent publishers to the top worldwide retailers.

Since the growth of self publishing has been tremendous and the needs for new authors varies considerably, Publisher Services provides an array of individual services geared towards independent self publishers. Unlike other publishing companies who offer varied membership distribution packages, our goal is provide simple and economical services which enable our publishing clients to pick and choose the services which satisfies their needs.  Personal customer services accompanies everything we provide.
