Print 2d barcode on PCB

Hi, I hope to have chosen the right newsgroup but I didn't know where
to ask.
I have to print a barcode on PCB and I have only 5 x 10 mm space in
which I can print.
What I need in order to make it? What machinery is necessary?
Thanks at all in advance.

maybe google "brady label printer barcode" or similar search string
 
Thanks Borat, but the problem is that I have only 5 x 10 millimeters
available for printing onto the PCB for this reason it's very difficult
print onto a label. I think is necessary print directly onto PCB, but I
have no idea to make it. However thanks for your help!

I believe that you can get a standard font for the bar code numbers,
import them as per the pcb tool you are using.

You don't stand a chance with the silkscreen to the resolution you
need. Your only hope (and even then you will PAY for it) is on the top
or bottom metal layer and remember to remove the solder resist. However
I will be surprised if you get the contrast that is needed for a bar
code scanner to see it. I'll give good odds that you end up with a
bigger bar code, using a printed label, on the break off portion of
your pcb panel.

That will get you the font, just write the code in text (following the
instructions given with the font zipfile). Assuming your PCB program can
use true type fonts for text.

But as someone else says, resolution may well be problematic.

( He mentioned a 2D (chequerboard) type barcode, so his resolution problems
are ^2 as compared to the normal stripe patterns)

Is the barcode different for every board?

Sorry, he did. He's being a bit greedy.
 
Hi, thanks at all for your response!
I find this systems for laser engraving, in your opinion that could be
useful for my scope?

It might not give you enough contrast for the reader. Laser engraved part
numbers on chip are difficult to read at best of times. And that is with
cranial processing. Check out the contrast requirements of the reader.
