Available in a range of materials for any application, our rugged barcode labels and stickers are manufactured with leading processes to the highest standards.
Since 1974, we’ve helped all market and industry sectors to meet their varied barcode label requirements.
Rugged barcode labels are used as an extremely durable way of uniquely identifying an item for recording and traceability purposes. They are excellent for use in warehouses, industry or harsh environments where products may be exposed to knocks, abrasions, harsh weather, extreme temperatures or even solvents.
Their sturdy, hard-wearing nature makes them perfect for eliminating scanning issues. This can benefit stock visibility, improve tracking of items and increase the general efficiency of warehousing operations.
We are able to produce barcodes of a number of different types, most popularly linear and datamatrix. Both barcode types are used in a wide range of industrial and logistics applications. They can be produced as sequentially numbered barcode labels, either on a roll, as a rugged anodised aluminium label, under-surface printed polycarbonate and even stainless steel.
The linear barcode labels are typically produced using either code 39 or code 128. This can link back to a database to access required information.
Code 39 does not contain a check digit and its low data density means that it will require more space to encrypt data, hence a larger barcode label. Code 128 type is a high density barcode containing a check digit, making it suitable for both alphanumeric and numeric codes.
A datamatrix (or 2D) barcode is a 2 dimensional code consisting of white and black squares holding a variety of information including part numbers, serial numbers, and manufacturer codes. This information is provided immediately upon scanning. These can be produced using digital printing, with anodised aluminium a commonly used material in military, aerospace and electronics.
Commonly used in marketing, we are also able to produce QR codes. These provide a direct connection to a specific web page when scanned. This might outline your company, products or provide instructions for use.
We also produce roll-form labels. This can represent an economical option for high volume usage in low-risk environments, such as electronics, logistics and warehousing.
Our team can help you to select the most suitable material for your needs. We offer a number of options and leading processes for creating your barcode labels and stickers, with all products manufactured to ISO 9001:2008 standards.
