Barcode Labels

Custom Barcode Labels

Data capture with barcodes works best with quality Barcode Labels that deliver outstanding readability. Yet many labels fail to provide reliable performance across diverse industrial environments, leading to costly delays and system disruptions. Common failures include:

• Barcode misreads due to poor printing or label material degradation 
  
• Labels that fade, peel, or corrode in chemical-heavy environments
• Adhesive failures in challenging environments
  
• Incomplete serialization or non-compliant formatting
• Incompatibility with scanning hardware or data systems
  

Express Identification Products solves these these challenges with custom-engineered barcode labels designed for long-term durability and highest level read rates, delivering flawless performance in even the most demanding environments. Express provides:

• 100% Sequence Integrity: No missing barcodes – and no data collection process disruptions.
• Exceptional Readability: All Express barcodes are verified compliant to ANSI and other applicable standards for contrast, modulation, element dimensionality and ultimately, readability. They are certified to conform to all relevant industry standards. Providing no misreads and quick and reliable data capture.
• Outstanding Durability: Barcode Labels that last decades in even the most challenging environments. Anodized aluminum with sub-surface image or a variety of other materials are available depending upon your needs. Choose Aluminum, Steel, Polycarbonate, Magnetic Vinyl or another high performance material.
• Smart Customization: Any barcode symbology is supported: Code 39, QR Code, Data Matrix, 128, and more. Produced with serialized or any random data you may provide. Plus; color and logos or other graphic elements can be included in your design.
• Precision Engineering Throughout: From Data management and formatting, barcode layout, specialty adhesives and coatings, and precision fabrication processes to finish your labels. Every label is engineered to match your application and provide optimum scanning results.
• Certified Labels: Every order comes with our Certificate of Conformance.
