FAQ

Barcode labels are printed labels containing a unique pattern of parallel lines (bars) and spaces that represent data. They are used for automatic identification and tracking of products, assets, or inventory.

Barcode labels can encode various types of data, including product numbers, serial numbers, batch numbers, prices, and more. The specific information encoded depends on the application and the barcode symbology used.

There are many types of barcode symbologies, such as UPC (Universal Product Code), EAN (European Article Number), Code 39, Code 128, QR Code, Data Matrix, and more. Each symbology has its own specifications and best-use cases.

Barcode labels can be printed using specialized barcode label printers that are designed to produce high-quality, accurate barcodes. These printers use thermal transfer or direct thermal printing methods and can typically print on various label materials.

Barcode labels enable efficient and accurate tracking of inventory, reduce manual data entry errors, improve inventory management, speed up checkout processes, and enhance overall operational efficiency.

Consider factors such as the type of data you need to encode, the scanning environment (e.g., indoor or outdoor), the required durability of the label, and any industry or regulatory standards that apply.

Barcode labels are typically not reusable because the data encoded in the barcode is fixed once printed. However, some labels, such as RFID tags, can be rewritten or reused for certain applications.

Yes, barcode labels can be customized with company logos, colors, text, and other information to meet specific branding or functional requirements.

The lifespan of barcode labels depends on factors such as the label material, printing method, environmental conditions, and handling. High-quality labels made from durable materials can last for years, while others may degrade more quickly.

Barcode labels themselves do not contain built-in security features, but certain barcode technologies, such as QR codes, can be encrypted or authenticated to enhance security.
