We go beyond conventional barcoding, incorporating advanced features that enhance not only traceability but overall operational efficiency. The cutting-edge technologies that we supply, include the Markem 2200 series labelling system, provide solutions that are effective on curved/uneven surfaces, making it the ideal choice for labelling shrink-wrapped products and pallets.
Deciding on the right barcode application is crucial for effective traceability. The first consideration lies in the packaging material. Print and apply labelling, utilising technologies such as the Markem 2200 series, is the most popular choice for GS1-128 barcodes. This method accommodates various materials and shapes, providing flexibility in application. According to GS1-128 guidance, using two labels and printing on the front and side of the product ensures optimal traceability.
A second option involves applying a GS1-128 code using inkjet printers directly onto the packaging, eliminating label costs. When opting for this method, it's essential to use light-coloured materials with a reflectance of 44 or higher, such as bamboo or materials with low recycled content. Utilising solid inks and ensuring the printer can operate at 200dpi directly onto the cases are crucial considerations. Employing a solid wax-based ink guarantees the code dries almost instantly.
For those with brown cardboard packaging, GS1-128 codes can still be printed, but specific considerations apply. Using high optical density inks or printing a white area on the brown packaging before imprinting the barcode ensures optimal visibility.
