Choosing the right barcode label for your business can impact everything from the lifespan of your printhead and the effectiveness of your barcode printer to operational efficiency and barcode readability rates. With many options of labels to choose from, it’s best to select a product that is designed, produced, and rigorously pre-tested to ensure consistent, optimized performance.
The specialists at Imprint can help you understand how Zebra has the best quality label to suit your business needs. Selecting the right barcode label doesn’t have to be complicated or overwhelming. And sacrificing cost over quality can lead to poor label quality, damaged equipment, and even costly chargebacks and compliance issues.
Barcodes are more than simply printing ink onto any sticky label. Barcode labeling is a complete ecosystem that, when managed properly, can help decrease overall costs, increase efficiency and production, and achieve greater levels of compliance and customer satisfaction. For the best labeling applications, Zebra is the go-to with Zebra Certified Supplies and special promotions when your business exclusively uses Zebra products.
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.
Consistent Quality
Printing supplies, like barcode labels, are not interchangeable commodity items. The quality of the images printed, and the physical integrity of the materials, are critical to the continuity of your business operations. Zebra-certified supplies are exceptionally consistent and consistently exceptional.
The raw materials Zebra uses are subjected to a rigorous 23-point ISO 9001:2008 certified quality process by a team of dedicated material sciences experts. The raw materials are inspected prior to production and during manufacturing. Once the products are finished, they are then subjected to a rigorous 26-point ISO 9001:2008 certified quality approval process that evaluates print quality, printer wear and tear, and application testing.
The materials used are analyzed using a wide range of printers, print speeds, darkness settings, and harsh environmental conditions to ensure the durability and readability of barcodes and images. Zebra only uses inks, varnishes, tools, and equipment that are compatible with thermal printing materials. Zebra never substitutes materials for any reason, so you get the best possible quality every time.
