BarTender Certified for General Motors' Label Standard

BELLEVUE, WA, USA—September 26, 2000—BarTender label printing software, by Seagull Scientific, Inc., has been certified by General Motors as compliant with GM's 1724 label standard – the foundation of GM's mandate to suppliers to follow specific shipping-label guidelines. Seagull provides, free on its web site, 1724-compatible label templates that are "ready to use" on a variety of industry-standard label printers. Seagull Scientific, the world's largest developer of true Windows drivers for thermal printers, recently co-sponsored the GM Suppliers' Conference at the Frontline Solutions show in Chicago.

Beginning on December 1, 2000, all GM global trading partners must follow specific label requirements when shipping to GM plants. Once GM makes its 1724B and C specifications available, suppliers will also be able to download these label formats for free from www.seagullscientific.com
