What are the different types of Barcode Labels/Stickers…

As all of us are aware a label/sticker is used for pasting o n different types of products, packing's with different signs like cauti on signs, fragile signs etc., Premier idea of labeling is to calculate/ understand what is the content in the packing ie; Manufa cturer name, Marketed by companies name, Item code, ingredients, m fg date, Sl no.

Batch code, Lot no, Quantity, Weight, expiry date, mfr loc ation code.

Labels comes in different shapes, types, sizes, qualities, p acking's (Roll form/ Fan Fold).

The following are the different types of labels: ·

NORMAL CHROMO LABELS.

·

DIRECT THERMAL LABELS

·

TRANSPARENT LABELS

·

JEWELLERY TAGS/LABELS

·

WRIST BAND LABELS

·

PREPRINTED LABELS

·

MIRROR COAT LABELS

·

TOP COATED LABELS

·

POLYESTER LABELS

·

VINYL LABELS

·

Destructive labels…..and more….

Different types of thermal transfer ribbons…

There are three types of thermal transfer ribbons, and ea ch ribbon suits a certain type of label face stock material to provide user s to get best quality print image.

Wax ribbons ·

Wax-resin ribbons

·

Resin ribbons

· These ribbons are used for making longlasting labels. The difference is only in the material used, and what conditions they can withstand.

Wax ribbons are commonly used for normal chromo pap er labels, matte or semigloss. These labels can last long, but they have to remain

dry.

Also, they are not resistant to abrasion, oils, chemicals, o r anything that could dissolve the wax image. Wax ribbon is the mos t-cost effective option for thermal transfer printers.

Waxresin ribbons are used for very fine, smooth papers, coat ed paper labels (semigloss or gloss) or synthetic stocks. The printed images are fine, but more durable than images printed using wax rib bons. However, they also should not be exposed to moisture. Waxresin ribbons are less expensive than resin ribbons, but more costly than wax.

Resin ribbons are used for printing on polyester, syntheti c, plastic and hard film labels for indelible print image. These include p olyester, vinyl and polypropylene, which are very durable material

s. The resin ribbon ink is designed to slightly dissolve into the face sto ck which adds strength to the label. Depending on the resin ribbon and label material, these labels withstands exposure to sunlight, ch emicals, oils, harsh weather, water, smudging etc. They are often used for labelling automobile and aircraft parts, hazardous chemicals, etc.

Again, it is important to specify what kind of elements the label will be exposed to, in order to choose the right combination of resin ribbon a nd label face stock

WHAT IS BARCODE PRINTER..??

A barcode printer, Direct thermal or thermal transfer prin ter is a device designed to print barcodes, logos, signs and huma n readable

text's on labels ; labels can be pasted in any kind of packi ng materials. Barcode otherwise known as Thermal Transfer Printers which has two types of technologies either direct thermal or th ermal transfer technologies to apply ink to labels. Thermal transfer print ers use wax, wax resin or pure resin ribbons to transfer image to the b arcode directly into the label, while thermal transfer printers use thermal energy (heat energy) to blacken the barcode onto the lab el.

Different Types of Thermal & Thermal Transfer Printers. ·

WHAT IS A BARCODE SCANNER OR READER..??

A barcode scanner [1] is also known as a barcode reade r is an electronic device OR equipment that decodes and autom atically captures data's coded in barcodes [2]. It consists of the following t echnological components, which accurately work together to capture data's contained in a printed barcode. * Light source Illuminates the barcode for proper reading.

* Lens - Scans the barcode image. * Photo conductor Translates optical impulses into electrical ones. * Decoder Decodes and Analyzes the data and sends the matter to the scanner's output port. A decoder can be internal or exter nal. · Scan Engines There are three primary barcode scan engines, which decode or read a barcode. * Laser - Uses a laser light source to read linear or onedimensional (1D) barcodes [3]. * Linear Imager Reads/Scans linear barcodes by capturing an image of the barcode.

* 2D Area Imager Reads/Scans linear and 2D barcodes [4] by capturing an image of the 2D barcode.

Barcode scanner/reader variants. * Handheld The most commonly seen and used are general purpose type of barcode scanner/readers. Comes in both wired and wi reless (cordless) models. · Hand Held Wireless Barcode Scanners Comes in with Blue Tooth wireless (cordless) models. * Mobile computers Combined functionality of a PC and a integrated barcode scan engine 1D or 2D into the device. Generally we get confused with cordless barcode scanners.

* Presentation - A type of handsfree scanner that allows users to easily scan multiple items. Also known as an oncounter or multi-purpose scanner or often mentioned as Holographic scanner. * In-counter - Similar to a multiplane presentation scanner except that it fits in table top application for retail POS applicatio ns. * Un-attended scanning systems Another type of hands-free scanner that reads barcodes using sensors that are triggered whe n items pass in front of it. * Wearable These scanners typically worn on the arm, hand, or finger.
