What Are Vinyl Stickers

Longevity is just one thing about our vinyl stickers that are seen and used for a variety of advertising purposes, normally seen on the inside of cars, but also on boats and shop windows, inside or outside it does not matter. With the vinyl sticker the advantage that they do not begin to look tired and rather tacky in the way that perhaps a paper one would. Another advantage is that they can be used more than once if needed and if required we can supply these to you to be permanent.

We can produce a sticker in a huge variety of sizes and many shapes, talk to us and we will discuss the feasibility of the particular shape or size that you have in mind. We can also offer a variety of colours, tell us the colour that will fit in with your plan and we will be able in just about all cases to be able to offer it.

Numbers do not present a hurdle to us, we can let you have a hundred to see how the project runs, and then if required let you have several thousand. Whatever your needs, we will give you a quotation and if agreeable you will have the vinyl stickers in a matter of days, usually within four of receiving the go-ahead.

Aluminium Labels

Are you looking for a tough durable stand-up to anything that Mother Nature and some humans can throw at me label, then we suggest that you have an aluminium label. We can supply a range of high-definition durable barcode labels in aluminium which is one of the most durable barcode labels for use in situations such as warehousing. These labels are read by a single scan because as we all know, scanning twice or more slows the picking process and reduces operational efficiencies.

Metal labels are not printed like other labels; specialised anodising technology allows images to be transferred to the aluminium with high resolution which enables single scanning. Naturally, these labels can be personalised as you wish and we offer small or large runs; they are highly visible and of course, it is a very cost-effective way to ensure efficiency in your warehouse or distribution depot.

The aluminium label is perfect for both indoor and outdoor usage, enduring high temperatures, sunlight, abrasion, solvents and much more, durable and hard-wearing, with eight sizes from which to choose, with eight standard colours.

We can also provide Pantone colours on request.

The many roles of the barcode

If you imagine that barcodes are only used in stores or a retail environment, which is perfectly understandable, you would be wrong to imagine this. Barcode labels are used for a wide variety of purposes, as they are able to carry and retain information that can be quickly and easily scanned in relatively small spaces.

The most obvious one is of course pricing of products, here they are used to indicate the price at the checkout and no guesswork is involved or individual prices attached to the product which can be defaced or removed, safeguarding the customer. They can also be used very effectively in passports or ID cards, many of these will have barcodes on them. In the workplace, they are used to record the clocking on and clocking off times of employees and are also used in maintaining security at offices, by knowing the details of the persons entering into the building.

Documents such as letters or parcels also have barcodes; this enables information such as, the date, time and place of receiving, the person who has received it, the person who prepared the documents, etc. These Barcodes are now seen on tickets to know whether it is genuine or not. Tickets are scanned before entering an event and this information can also be used to keep a check on how many people are in the building.

Barcode labels are being widely used in hospitals to keep all the information related to patients documented. These labels are tied to the wrists of patients, which carry full information on the patient and information on medication and special dietary needs. The use of the barcode today is growing and possibly knows no bounds.

Putting A Value On Asset Tags

It would be almost unthinkable for a company with a number of employees not to have asset tags on their valuable equipment in order that they could keep track of these assets at all times and ensure that they are logged during inventory checks and at stock-taking times.

With many employees working from home and those on-field operations, it is now easy to keep track of company assets by using asset tags. The types of assets can be such items as mobile phones and laptop computers, the use of these tags makes them less likely to be stolen or be lost. Managers are less likely to be concerned if an employee has to take a piece of equipment away from company premises, these items can be tracked using asset tags.

Portable electrical items need to be checked for safety on a regular basis, this can be easily checked through these can let the user know when the item was last checked and when the next check is due.

The bar-coded asset label can be made from a variety of materials these can including vinyl, polyester and aluminium and the super-strong adhesive backing used means that when the labels are fixed in place they are extremely difficult to remove. The asset label is today one of the company’s best assets in itself.

How are barcode labels produced

There are few in the business world today that do not realise the importance of the barcode label. Barcode labels are often highly customisable usually to suit the unique properties of the business and can include more items than just the familiar set of lines, for example, we can include your company logo that shows that the product is linked to your business.

There are a number of stages that the label must go through before the finished product is delivered to you, design and artwork for example, but there are only a few steps that are taken in the construction of barcode labels.

The first stage in the production process of barcode labels is generating the actual image for the barcode.  This is when extra items such as adding the logo or a motto or other printed print can be added. For most barcode labels, we create the image through the use of a thermal transfer or digitally, all in accordance with the approved artwork.

Now we have the important adhesive, the backing to the label that fixes the barcode label to your product. We can supply a number of different adhesives depending on where the product is to be used and also the different surfaces that they are likely to be used upon. The label is now ready for dispatch and will soon be on the way to you.

DataLabel has helped many businesses and government operations, we can help you too.

Tamper Evident Labels Are Really Important

What is the point of having a tamper-evident label on a food product? Well put simply it will tell the customer or storekeeper that the product could have been interfered with and should be withdrawn from sale. A standard paper or file with a permanent adhesive may meet many customers’ requirements.  However, in more demanding applications, special tamper-evident materials are available.

In most cases special shapes, label security cuts and materials that fracture easily are all in common use to ensure the product has not been interfered with in any way, in other cases, for electronic equipment usually for warranty purposes, tamper-evident labels that offer special synthetic seals which carry a void message should they be peeled away can be supplied or it is possible to use a destructible viny which disintegrates when any attempt is made to remove it.

Tamper proof labels are a vital part of safely packaging a product, or ensuring that a warranty has not been violated through the unauthorised opening of the electronic equipment.

Promotional and Point of Sale Labels

A great product just like the one you have produced is of little value unless you publicise it and the best way to do that is by attractive packaging and of course a label to inform your customer just how good your product really is. Promotional labels which ensure your promotion stands out from the crowd are essential in today’s crowded marketplace.

Your product when labelled will give the customer valuable information and it can highlight your special offers with eye catching promotional labels, point of sale labels and price labels. Legally, if required, it will be necessary to inform the customer about the weight of the contents on your label, also other information such as important messages including hazard warnings and instructions for use can all be incorporated into your point of sale labels.

We are always happy to speak to our customers about their labels no matter how simple or complex your labelling requirements may be, with our design studio and complete printing services will be able to accommodate you. The labels can be supplied in many forms, for example on sheets, or rolls, let us know we are sure that we will be able to accommodate you. Our years of experience are your assurance that whichever promotional labels, point of sale or price labels you choose, they will be finished to our exacting specifications.

Labels A Necessary Evil

In today’s world we have to accept that not everyone is totally honest and this is why your company should ensure that its valuable assets are tagged to prevent an unscrupulous person form selling them of on a site like eBay for example.

I know that you might laugh at such a suggestion, but sadly in an organisations such as a college or large IT workplace it can happen, which is why just about all companies and organisations use asset tags.

Now you do not have to have one that screams out the name of the company or organisation it can be done in a much more subtle manner, a QR code for example and what is more it can made so that it cannot be peeled off without leaving a trace, tamper proof asset tags can be easily made for you that will always prove to be a challenge that can beat any thief.

These tags can show evidence of tampering in a number of ways; some tags leave behind a visible residue that reads “void” others will be completely destroyed if removal is attempted. Either way, you can be assured that your asset is properly protected and monitored. Available in different sizes, colours, and styles, contact us and we will be happy to discuss your asset tags with you.

Barcodes to keep track of your business items

You have bought them for business use and it makes sense to ensure that they are not only looked after, but you know where they can be located in your business premises. Using modern technology and building a database is common sense and with this you can record each and every item and its location.

The database can be a simple or comprehensive list of all items that is owned by the business and can record the asset type and even where it is located. Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) dates can be added and by using barcodes and a database it is easy to see what a difference an asset database can make.

Where to find the assets is simplified for inventory checks, also if they have been moved from their allocated location if the items are portable. By adding barcodes to your asset tags stock taking and inventory control is greatly simplified and with this method and the use of your database you can easily highlight missing items.

Barcodes, asset tags and a dedicated database is the modern approach to ensuring safekeeping of valuable assets and the location of them.
