Packaging Tip

Improving Bar Coding — Bar coding has become a given in most industries, even where it was once thought impossible or impractical due to product size or materials. So, as long as you must…here are three fast tips for doing it right.

Use high-quality print media. Thermal transfer where labels may be exposed to heat, intense sunlight or exposure. Vinyl in harsh environments.
Avoid color. Many barcode scanners can’t read it.
Slow down! Print speed is inversely proportional to print quality, so run printers at the slowest practical speed. I know, I know — late deliveries are bad for business. However, taking back a refused shipment is worse.
