Build Your Barcode Labeling Solution Step by Step

A complete barcode labeling deployment extends beyond the printer. Start with the right printing platform, select labels and ribbons for the application, add the appropriate scanning or mobile hardware, and complete the system with compatible connectivity, accessories and deployment support.

Every component should work together.

Printer resolution, media materials, scanner range, software, connectivity and accessories should be selected as one coordinated system rather than as unrelated products.

01
Printing Platform

Choose Your Printer

Match the printer class to your label size, daily print volume, operating environment, required resolution and preferred connection method.

Printer options
  • Desktop printers for lower-volume stations
  • Industrial printers for continuous operation
  • Mobile printers for point-of-activity use
  • RFID printers for encoded smart labels
Desktop Industrial Mobile RFID
02
Media Selection

Select Labels & Ribbons

Choose media based on surface type, temperature, moisture, chemical exposure, required lifespan, adhesive strength and barcode durability.

Media considerations
  • Paper labels for general-purpose applications
  • Polypropylene for moisture resistance
  • Polyester for durable asset and compliance labels
  • Wax, wax-resin or resin thermal-transfer ribbons
