When it comes to shopping for barcode labels, there are various qualities that you need to take account of: How strong should your adhesive be? What types of environments does your label need to withstand? What’s the projected longevity of your label? We’ve gone over various labels by characteristic in the past, but we also know it can be overwhelming to keep track of each characteristic and find the best match.
So what’s the best starting point to finding the right barcode label? Our rule of thumb: match quality over quantity.
Many of our customers need hundreds to thousands of labels for their products or shipping, inventory, storage or distribution processes, which means looking at a price tag and considering the cost for these large quantities. But buying barcode labels based on quantity can lead to bigger issues in the long run. By matching the quality of your barcode with the quality of your product or item, you will more likely get the best label for your needs.
For example, food packaging that needs barcode labels for POS retail does not in most cases need to be extremely durable. You can then limit your options to cheaper paper or plastic labels that will make sense for short-term, disposable packaging. In contrast, if you work for an IT department and are cataloging various pieces of computer equipment–drives, monitors, laptops, tablets, etc.–you will want a high-quality label that will withstand wear and tear, be able to stick to smooth metal surfaces, and potentially be able to withstand high temperatures (especially appropriate for batteries and hard drives). The quality of your label is therefore more important for a long-lasting, expensive piece of equipment, versus something that is more temporary or made to be disposed of.
There can be a few exceptions to this rule, but fortunately, we have a team of label experts that are ready to answer any of your questions. To find the right labels for your business, contact us. We can guide you through our catalog and identify the best label candidates.
