Applications of Barcode Label Printers

Meat packing and food processing industries use bar code printers 24 hours and 7 days a week. Typical applications are to print high resolution labels, expiration dates, time stamps, product identification, and shipping labels. Many applications require wash down applications where the whole printer is placed inside a custom stainless steel cabinet.

Pharmacies use M-Class printers to print prescription labels. The labels containing critical information for the patient are adhered to the outside of the pill bottle or box of medication. Printing this information rather than hand writing avoids errors and misinterpretation which can lead to serious consequences. Most widely used applications include compliance labels, track & trace, and pick lists.

The healthcare industry is under public scrutiny for preventing avoidable errors that can have dire consequences. Hospitals recognize the usefulness of barcodes in reducing these errors and use barcode printers throughout their facilities to print a variety of labels and wristbands. The M-Class printer is used to generate the high quality barcode labels that play such a critical role in the reduction of medical errors. M-class is Meditech and Cerner Certified for use in hospitals. Most widely used applications in hospitals include specimen tracking and records labeling.

The transportation and logistics industries use barcode labels in their distribution and warehousing facilities primarily for labeling shipments with critical shipping information. Because every shipment is different, the label printer must be able to handle the high demand with continually changing data. The M-Class is the ideal printer for the requirements in applications such as cross docking, shipping labels, pallet tracking, and in sorting centers.

Manufacturers use M-Class printers for applications throughout their product lines with typical applications requiring as much as 4000 labels per shift. M-class is used for many applications including Asset tracking, work-in-progress labels, agency labels, and instruction labels to name a few.
