Labels should be printed using the barcode font "3 of 9". The designation of each bottle should be of the form "*EXC001F*", where "EXC" is the 2 or 3 letter experiment code, "001" is the subject number, and "F" is the item contained in that bottle (e.g. S for saccharin, W for water, F for food.). There should be no spaces between the elements of the label. The barcode reader expects the label to begin and end with an asterix (*). Place the human readable version of the label underneath the barcode. A label size of 2.0 inches by 0.8 inches seems best. See the website for premade Word and Pages templates.+

−A helper app "BarLabeler" can print pdfs of the barcode stickers for bottles and QR codes for subject cages.
−The laminating stickers should be 3 inches by 1.5 inches, in order to completely seal the label.

+Stickers should be printed onto Avery 22827 matte white water-resistant film rectangular labels 3.5" x 4.75", 24 per sheet, from which they can be cut into individual bottle labels. Because all the stickers are white, I recommend adding a color cue, such as a red marker line underneath the text on the saccharin labels, and a blue marker line on the water labels.
+Formerly, we followed Jim Smith in using paper labels that were then secured to the bottles with waterproof "laminating stickers". The laminating stickers should be 3 inches by 1.5 inches, in order to completely seal the label. However, the Avery ware-resistant stickers work well (although they only come in white).
