Way to print barcodes to track moving box contents?

[clay]

don't know any barcode solutions, but what about a lower-tech solution that would be a little more accessible. Use an abbreviation for different rooms/items, and then record everything in something as simple as a text document that includes the abbreviation and brief description of contents. So:

OFC-012 (to mean "office" and then box 012). If you need more description, use a secondary descriptor

OFC-COM-012 (to mean "office", "computer", box 012)

Something like this would be easier to get help with from other people that don't have an iphone/scanner (i.e. people-friendly)

Just an idea
