Based on consultation with the client and a wealth of internal knowledge, specific material was recommended for the project which covered key specifications of durability, printability, block out properties, adhesive performance, product warranty & bar code scanning properties.
As part of the value add service that Label Makers provides, client supplied files were audited for accuracy to ensure labels were printed correctly first time, and in the correct order for ease of application.
Bar-codes & human readable alpha numeric data was printed based on 4 part strings for specific locations and verified for scanning performance. Directional arrows were also printed based on specific location requirements. All of the codes produced were scanned and tested for compliance with the ANSI standard for bar code verification, using specialised ISO tested and accredited equipment.
Working closely with the clients project manager, our experienced application team completed the project on time, meeting all safety requirements and expectations with minimal disruption.
