A proper barcode label helps you and your clients ensure compliance standards are met within industry standards while managing and tracking inventory from beginning to end.

Zebra Technologies and Imprint Enterprises are here to help you understand the 7 ways Zebra Certified Supplies can help you achieve your business goals, no matter your industry.

1 – Zebra Certified Supplies Stick to Surfaces

Not all labels are equal in quality. Zebra guarantees the staying power of their labels, so labels don’t slide or peel during handling. Need something that can be easily removed? Zebra has that option too.

2 – Zebra Certified Supplies Averts Pricey Damage

3 – Zebra Certified Supplies Lowers Expenses

Zebra labels are designed to eliminate extra carrying costs, waste, and manual workarounds. You can order labels as you need them or set an automated restock before you run out.

4 – Zebra Certified Supplies Won’t Jam

Zebra supplies go through rigorous testing for consistent quality. The label rolls don’t squeeze out adhesive while printing, which can cause your printer to jam. This testing averts costly printing disruptions in your workplace.

5 – Zebra Certified Supplies Remain Legible

The core function of a barcode label is to provide information on what a product is and where it goes. Zebra labels won’t fade, and the barcodes won’t rub off.

6 – Zebra Certified Supplies Work in Tough Environments

Zebra labels are tested in the harshest conditions, using specialized equipment to rate durability to outdoor elements, abrasion, harsh chemicals, and extreme temperatures. These labels can handle heat, cold, dust, and dampness.

7 – Zebra Certified Supplies Prevents Interruptions

Consistent materials mean not having to stop and adjust your printer settings for different label sensitivity. Productivity can increase with up to 40 hours per week saved in worker time, and printing time can be reduced by up to 15%.

The Quality You Want from the Experts You Need

Zebra Technologies is an expert in the barcoding technology field with their rigorous testing of their own products and is one of the largest converters of barcode labels in the USA. Customers who have switched from overengineered and underperforming labels to Zebra Certified Supplies have seen up to $800,000 in savings per year with 68% greater printing output.

A Premiere Solution Partner with Zebra, Imprint Enterprises has the specialists to help you determine what your business needs to step forward, while considering future possibilities. At Imprint, it is about the relationship, not the sale.

Whichever barcode design your company needs, it’s always best to consult with an expert that can help answer any questions you have on the use of the different barcode labels.

Unique Device Identifier (UDI)

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires using a unique device identifier (UDI) on barcode labels in food, beverage, and medical fields. These labels must be readable by man and machine (scanners). If the labels are not done to specific standards, your company is liable for more than just fines and chargebacks. Private label distributors are susceptible to the possibility of a legal exposure.

 All labels must be readable in plain text, as well as machine readable with scanning using AIDC (automatic identification and data capture) technology. With barcode labels having to comply with ISO/IEC 15415 or ISO/IEC 15416, it is important to get a barcode labeling software system that can meet these requirements from the start.

Global Serialization for Pharmaceuticals 

The United States, European Union, China, and Brazil have specific serialization requirements, with more countries joining to include this requirement. Examples of the requirements include DSCSA, FMD, and 21 CFT Part 11. BarTender® supports pharmaceutical companies with built-in compliance standards.

The easy to learn platform can add accurate data with a simple drag and drop method. The standards are built into BarTender®, including GS1’s linear and Data Matrix pharma barcodes and traditional linear, two-track, 2D and color Pharmacodes.

Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG)

The AIAG created standard industries to improve efficiency and accuracy. A single alphanumeric symbology, called Code 39, was established in 1984. This symbology included information like part numbers, purchase order numbers, quantity, and other data identifiers.

Proper barcode labeling tracks automotive parts from manufacturing, through distribution, to the end user. This can impact automotive safety and tracking for accountability during recalls. One wrong digit misprint can have a huge financial impact on everyone involved in the chain. 

BarTender® eases that by having the compliance requirements built into the software.
