Barcode Labeling Solutions

Barcode labeling solutions are a significant investment.  It is imperative for companies to ensure that the software purchased today will continue to meet the needs of your company in the years to come.  Prior to investing in barcode or RFID labeling software it is important to fully understand your application.
 
To begin, assess your labeling requirements, being sure to gather all mission-critical information.  Don't forget to involve stakeholders and key users, employees, partners, management and vendors.  Understand their requirements and then prioritize the features needed by asking the following questions:

• How many different label formats do I have?
• Do I need to place different label formats on the same page?
• Do I need to print multi-page labels?
• Who will be using the label software?
• Will the same people be designing, editing and printing labels?
• Do the people reviewing the label need to share comments with label designers?
• Do I need multiple label design stations or multiple label printing stations?
• Where does the data contained on the label come from (manually entered or a database)?
• What labeling and/or barcode specifications do I have to meet (government, suppliers, etc.)?
• What types of graphics do I want to place on the labels?
• Are the graphics that appear on a label variable depending on the product?
• Do I need to include time/date/serial number fields?
• Do they have to be in any specific format?
• Do they need to have a prefix or suffix?
• Do they have to be merged with other information?
