How to split & position dynamic images on page php

[dlow128]

 

This script uses mysql to generate a barcode and duplicates the image 10 times one underneath the other to produce what looks like a continious barcode. My problem is i need to separate the 10 images down the page to allow for a text area. Any ideas?

I appreciate any input, many thanks
