    BAR CODE LABELS

    Print Your Own Bar Code Labels In House

    Industrial bar code labels serve an important function by encoding important information that can be read by a scanner for faster checkout, inventory control, product tracing, and more. Clarity is a must to ensure that the bar codes can be properly read by the scanner, making it important to choose a quality bar code printer and use the right type of bar code label materials for crisp graphics.

    Bar Code Labels – Compatible Printers

    Several printing technologies are commonly used to print bar code labels including:

    • Direct thermal printers — Direct thermal printers do not require the use of a ribbon, but they do require the use of special heat-activated direct thermal bar code labels.
    • Thermal transfer printers — You will need to use an ink-coated ribbon and blank thermal transfer bar code labels to print bar codes with a thermal transfer bar code printer.
    • Color inkjet printers — Color inkjet bar code printers allow you to add color graphics and text to your bar code labels.
    • Laser toner-based printers — Both monochrome and color laser toner-based printers can be used to print bar code labels using laser sheet labels or label rolls.

    Each bar code label printer type is capable of printing bar code labels on demand, albeit with different characteristics. For example, if you’re printing plain bar codes and do not require color, a direct thermal or thermal transfer printer will do. On the other hand, if you intend to print bar codes with color images, such as carton box bar codes, a color inkjet bar code printer is a better choice.
