Coding & Marking on Labels
Labels carry both the brand and the variable data. They can be printed on demand, or pre-printed and overprinted with date and lot on the labeller.
Working with labels
Labels carry both the brand and the variable data. They can be printed on demand, or pre-printed and overprinted with date and lot on the labeller.
Practical tips
- Choose thermal transfer with resin ribbon for labels that face chemicals or abrasion.
- Keep a quiet zone around barcodes — crowding is a common cause of scan failures.
- Specify the adhesive for the surface and temperature at the moment of application.
