Barcode Labels & Stickers: Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What’s the difference between static, sequential and variable barcode labels? +
A: Static barcode labels carry the same code on every label — ideal for fixed product SKUs. Sequential barcodes increase in order (001, 002, 003) and are used for asset tracking or logistics. Variable barcodes contain unique data imported from a file, such as customer IDs or sample numbers.
Q2: What barcode types can you print? +
A: We print a full range of symbologies including Code 39, Code 128, EAN, UPC, and 2D formats such as QR and Data Matrix. We can also include human-readable text beneath the barcode if required.
Q3: Can you print barcodes from my data file? +
A: Yes. We regularly produce barcode labels from supplied data such as spreadsheets or CSV files. Simply send us your file, and we’ll import and verify the data before printing — ensuring every code matches your records accurately.
Q4: Are barcode labels suitable for tough environments? +
A: Yes. We offer durable synthetics such as polypropylene and polyester with strong adhesives to resist handling, moisture, and temperature changes. These materials ensure long-term barcode legibility.
Q5: Can you include logos or other printed information? +
A: Absolutely. We can incorporate company branding, text, or colour blocks alongside the barcode, allowing the label to carry both functional and visual information.
