Product type
2D barcode labels are printed labels that contain data encoded in a two-dimensional format, allowing for the storage of more information than traditional one-dimensional barcodes. They are typically made from durable materials such as paper, vinyl, or polyester, and can be printed using various technologies including thermal transfer and direct thermal printing. These labels are commonly used in inventory management, shipping, and product identification, facilitating quick scanning and data retrieval.
| Material | Paper, vinyl, or polyester |
| Print technology | Thermal transfer or direct thermal |
| Label size | Varies, typically from 1x1 inch to 4x6 inches |
| Adhesive type | Permanent or removable adhesive |
| Durability | Water-resistant and tear-resistant options available |
| Color options | White, colored, or custom printed |
When selecting 2D barcode labels, consider the material based on the environment in which they will be used, such as moisture or temperature extremes. Specify the required label size and adhesive type based on your application needs. It is also important to consider the print technology compatible with your printing equipment. If applicable, check for any industry-specific certifications or standards that may be required. Quantities can vary based on usage, so plan accordingly to avoid stock shortages.
