Hey, best thing to do is get hold of some barcode scanners(usb input or similar), with the drivers, then write up something basic like an (ew, but only as an example) access db, or simple db with basic DBMS (text input)... Then print them off using an online generator onto sticky paper. It's not too hard to get up and running, it's making it efficient and correct thats harder... Basically, most pre-made inventory management systems are so generalized that a DBMS with basic text box input does the job better(waste functions making the program slower etc).

Cheers,
Jamey
