Variable data and barcode labels

Barcode digits are unique product identifiers that allow manufacturers and retailers to quickly communicate product information between each other and internal departments. We use only the highest quality label materials, inks and finishes to ensure you get the best labels possible so they always scan. We also check to make sure there are no duplicates if they are not wanted.

When selecting colours for barcode labels, it’s essential that you select colours that are compatible with scanners. One reason why barcodes can be hard to scan is colour, or more specifically, the lack of contrast in colours. If there isn’t enough contrast between the background and bar colours, barcode scanners will have difficulty in reading it.

The combination of a white background and black barcode is the most recommended colour combination. Scanners read barcodes best when the background reflects light and the bars don’t reflect any. Scanners have a hard time picking up yellow and red colours because they can’t “see” those colours, but black and blue based colours are much easier for a scanner to pick up. It’s important to use light colours for the background and dark ones for the barcode.
