I suppose you could. A bar code merely has bars that are read by
a reader -- not magnetically-encoded. When I demonstrate the use
of bar codes I often carry a storyboard book where the bar codes
are in plastic. And there are a lot of cheap bar code programs
available. So, you could generate a bar code, attach it to your
banner, scan it, and find it in your inventory. If that were the
case I would use UPC-A, rather than UPC-C as the first only needs
6 digits (internal use) whereas the second needs 12 digits,
included the number assigned by the UCC.
