This gist consist of tex templates for making barcodes using \psbarcode command using pst-barcode package: https://www.ctan.org/pkg/pst-barcode?lang=en .

Scripts and templates are tailored for use with label printer. I use Dymo 450 LabelWriter under Linux systems (Arch, Ubuntu, Raspibian) without hassle.

However it's easy to modify templates below to work with A4 sheets of label stickers for oridinary ink printers using labels - here is example: http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/289151/7128 .

• standalone_code128_special_chars.tex - base template
• standalone_code128_special_chars.sh - base for crafting bash script. It outputs same tex as standalone_code128_special_chars.tex
• standalone_code128_gen_latex.sh - more generic generator. You can modify output by providing between 0 and 4 optional parameters.
• gen_barcode.sh - most comprehensive script. It's standalone_code128_gen_latex.sh extended by options : `p
