I was given a project to investigate new bar code technology. The reason is 
  we currently have to reserve too much keep out area for bar code labels: 
  all PCBA's require Qty 2 keep out areas 7mm x 33 mm for labels. This is 
  becoming very difficult for high-density PCBAs. We need to come up with 
  smaller labels to fit into smaller keep out areas. I like to know any 
  information helpful including
  
       New label materials
       New equipement
       New methods (bar coding the side/edge of the board)
       etc.
  
  Appreciate any help.
