What Thermal Transfer Ribbon should we choose for inventory and logistical operations? Barcodes, QR codes or other variable information on paper or PE labels? Fast and flawless scanning? Where shall we start?
Track and tracing are definitely critical to the efficiency of manufacturing and distribution. Therefore, coding and scanning play a crucial role in today’s supply chain. To summarize some examples, this concerns pharmaceuticals, car components, foods & beverages, cosmetics and electronic goods.
For product recalls, audits and consumer demand, up-to-date information about the origin and whereabouts is ever more important. As a result, organisations need to implement effective track and trace systems as well as variable data printing. Otherwise, the inability to identify and track components of products may compromise the success of businesses.
Find the Thermal Transfer Ribbon that fits your specific needs.
One of the crucial components in track & tracing is the label and variable print such as the barcode. Easy scanning is therefore key in ensuring smooth running operations throughout the supply chain. This concerns the following:
Obviously, technologies used for inventory and logistics coding and marking can vary. Furthermore, exposure to temperatures (e.g. shrink wrapping, cold stores), humidity, smudging and scratching can affect the quality. Concerning lasting printing of variable information, Thermal Transfer printing is among the most reliable technologies.
Obviously, Thermal Transfer Ribbons are only one part of the puzzle when it comes to delivering excellent print. When it comes to choosing the right ribbon, the combination of substrate, print setting possibilities and durability requirements (e.g. high abrasion) are equally important. Therefore, careful testing and harmonisation of these elements will make you achieve the optimal result.
