Creating barcode images

Question

I need to send emails out to several thousand customers with a unique barcode present so they can redeem it either instore or online.

We have a list of coupon/barcode codes to use and have a way to dynamically pull these codes into the email so a customer will see a unique code. The problem is I need to somehow generate several thousand barcode images that are created using the unique codes. How can I solve this?

This would be perfect if our email marketing company had this functionality but unfortunately they don't: http://www.emaildirect.com/blog/2011/11/create-unique-barcodes-with-emaildirect/

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have found my answer!

By using the barcode generator www.barcodesinc.com I generated a URL and input this into my email.

Eg: http://www.barcodesinc.com/generator/image.php?code=999999999&style=197&type=C128B&width=200&height=50&xres=1&font=3

I then changed the 999999999 in the URL to my conditional code to change to the specific code for that person and also bring back the barcode image for that code too!
