Zebra Barcode Labels
Barcodes are the ubiquitous black bars most people picture when thinking of labels. Each barcode contains numbers, letters and symbols linked to its respective database that provide details about its object it labels.
Consult a Zebra printer specialist to ensure the barcode label prints correctly. They can assist in finding an option which meets all of your unique specifications and needs.
Paper
Labels provide manufacturers and retailers with an easy way to track a product from its supplier all the way to retail outlet. This enables manufacturers to quickly detect any faulty items that may have been sold, taking swift action to recall these from customers as quickly as possible; retailers may then access this data and take swift action in recalling or withdrawing it from shelves.
There are various kinds of paper labels to meet various needs. Brown Kraft paper can help create an authentic or earth-friendly appearance, while uncoated white paper works for anything not in contact with water or oil. Linerless labels offer another cost-cutting alternative by eliminating extra liner waste.
There are also synthetic labels available which offer durability and resistance to abrasion and moisture, perfect for applications such as warehouse tracking or medical device labeling. To find the ideal label for your business needs, it’s wise to seek professional assistance.
Polypropylene
Polypropylene, commonly referred to as PP, is one of the world’s most versatile and widely-used thermoplastics. As both hard plastic and soft fiber, PP has the unique capability of taking multiple different forms. This versatile thermoplastic can be found in industrial products, consumer goods like packaging or tubing pipes as well as clothing fabrics furniture or automotive components.
Polyethylene offers high flexural strength, making it an excellent and safe material to package items such as bottles and jars. Furthermore, its resistant to abrasion, mildew, rot and water make it highly water-resistant.
Bopp is a thermoplastic material, meaning it softens rather than burning at high temperatures, making it ideal for thermal transfer printing in extreme cold or hot Houston environments. BOPP labels also work exceptionally well when printed using direct thermal label printers; providing that you use the appropriate ribbon.

Polyester
polyester offers many advantages for creating zebra barcode labels, such as its long lifespan and resilience in harsh conditions. These labels can carry various messages such as instructions, warnings, product composition details, colorful logos or company names and ingredient lists as well as simple numbering/lettering combinations.
Zebra barcode scanners are specially-crafted to deliver superior performance and durability in even the most rigorous applications, such as warehouses and distribution centers, manufacturing, and transportation. These multi-barcode reader devices are built for operation in any environment and feature multiple barcode reading at once for faster productivity.
These labels are constructed from thick premium top-coated silver gloss polyester for excellent thermal transfer printing, providing outstanding resistance against moisture, abrasion, chemicals and extreme temperatures. With its permanent thermal paper roll acrylic adhesive backing UL approved and CSA recognized, this product prints crisp small fonts and bars when using Zebra resin ribbons – making this an excellent option for rating plate labels or any application requiring storage up to three years outdoors with moderate chemical resistance requirements.
Synthetic
Synthetic materials make an excellent choice for demanding environments, as they offer durability, good print quality and resistance to abrasion, moisture and chemicals.
These materials feature high initial tack, allowing them to adhere securely and resist scratching and smearing on uneven surfaces while offering scratch resistance and chemical resistance. Some even boast moderate chemical resistance properties.
These labels and ribbon combinations boast features like tamper-evident face stocks, extreme weather protection, electrostatic dissipation capabilities, long range scanning capabilities and even patent pending antimicrobial coatings – making them the ideal solution for hospital wristbands and patient ID wristbands.
By carefully considering application requirements, optimizing scanning accuracy, partnering with reliable suppliers, and exploring various label materials’ potential, barcode labels can realize their full potential and become a vital part of improving data capture and operations efficiency. Selecting appropriate label material not only contributes to superior scanning performance but also contributes to overall business process efficiency.
