Tip of the Week from PSCS

Keep your UPCs for use from year to year.

Some publishers order new UPC film on a year-by-year basis, but for a monthly or bi-monthly publisher it saves money and reduces the possibility of error to use the same film year after year. Because magazines with a quarterly, annual, or semi-annual frequency include the year in the issue code, those publishers must re-order their UPCs.
