Explore how barcode printers can be used across your business to increase productivity and reduce your bottom line.
Barcode printers print barcodes to be used on commonly labeled items, such as products, assets, inventory, supplies, pallets, and perishables. In addition to printing labels and tags, some barcode printers can even create plastic ID cards, wristbands, tickets, and RFID tags.
With the predominance of #barcodes today, having the right type of barcode printer in your environment is essential.
The barcode printer has proven its value in not only manufacturing and retail, but also in healthcare and other work environments. Whether it is an industrial printer for use in the warehouse or a desktop machine that prints out tickets or receipts, the barcode printer comes in a variety of forms that are useful across a variety of industries.
If your work requires tracking a product and/or creating accountability, you are probably very familiar with the benefits of barcodes. From issuing wristbands and tags in hospitals to automation in manufacturing, the ability to print barcodes efficiently and accurately is an ever-growing need.
Industrial, desktop, and mobile computers all have use in your environment.
Industrial printers are used for high-performance print jobs, and are well-suited for labels used in manufacturing, distribution, healthcare, and logistics. They are built for durability, higher print speed, and come in handy for your high-volume printing needs. Desktop printers provide a compact printing solution for your files, records, and labeling. Mobile printers offer an affordable and efficient solution for labeling directly within an environment.
With advances in barcode printing solutions, your business can benefit from investing in barcode printers that fit the many different environments of your industry.
For example, hospitals and other healthcare industries often utilize all three varieties of barcode printers: Desktop and industrial printers help streamline chain processes and reduce overall healthcare costs, while mobile printers improve efficiencies by printing barcode labels reliably, quickly, and directly at the point of care.
Today’s industrial printers are smart-connected devices that last for years and provide high-level security. They produce high-quality barcode, text, and graphic labels, 24/7 in any environment.
Desktop barcode printers are perfect for economical, low-volume needs. Their compact design, quiet and intuitive operation, and reliability allows you to print labels, tickets, tags, receipts, or wristbands efficiently and economically.
Mobile barcode printers equip your employees with the power to print on demand to improve productivity, precision, and accuracy.
When investing in printing systems, barcode quality is your top priority. Unfortunately, print quality is often overlooked until it causes a problem. For suppliers who must abide by trading partner compliance labeling requirements, print quality problems are very expensive. Compliance labeling infractions have cost suppliers millions of dollars in chargebacks and losses from refused shipments, plus untold damage to customer satisfaction.
Fortunately, Zebra Technologies supplies are designed to meet industry standards, so you can meet compliance goals. Whatever your print needs, there’s a Zebra printer for you.
