OK, so I now have several sheets of barcode labels.

What I can't figure out is which symbiology they use. Consider, for 
example, the label for "UKM11001L3". If 1=black and 0=white, we have

[...000]101101101001010101001101101100101011010110101001011010
11011001010101101100101011010100101101101010010110100101011
011011001010101101101010100110101101101001[000...]

This doesn't seem to match anything Wolfram Alpha can come up with:

None of these barcodes start with the distinctive two thin bars framing 
two thick bars ("...01011011010..."). I have no idea what barcode type 
this is...
