ZEBRA SUPPLIES ARE THE BEST OF THE BREED!

Is It Worth It to Use Zebra® Certified Supplies?

The short answer is: yes. Of course yes! 1,000 times YES! OK, maybe that could have been shorter, but you get the point.

 

Contrary to popular belief, printing supplies are not an interchangeable commodity. Printing supplies can impact everything from printhead lifespan to operational efficiency. In thinking through the entire lifecycle of their devices, Zebra creates certified supplies – such as labels and tags, RFID labels, thermal ribbons, wristbands, and receipt paper – to ensure consistent, optimized performance in Zebra printers. This results in quality images being produced, consistently exceptional supplies, and enhanced productivity and long life for the Zebra printers themselves.

 

Zebra is known the world over for our exceptional quality, durability and dedication to thermal printing technologies. Zebra puts their expertise, insight, and reputation into everything they make, from scanners and mobile computers to printers and, of course printing supplies. That dedication starts from the very beginning…

 

Consistently outstanding quality

Zebra painstakingly combs through thousands of raw materials and only uses conversion processes, inks, varnishes, tools, and equipment that are optimized for thermal printing. All raw materials are subjected to a rigorous 23-point ISO 9001:2008 certified quality approval process by a dedicated team of material science experts. In addition, they subject all finished supplies to a follow-up round rigorous testing, ensuring premium craftsmanship and durability. They never substitute materials for any reason, so you get the best possible printer performance and print quality. Only the best become Zebra Certified Supplies.

 

Increased efficiency and productivity

Because Zebra’s printing supplies are so consistent, there’s no need to make printer adjustments between rolls when using the same media. Your workers will experience fewer hassles and require less IT assistance, reducing downtime—plus they can get more done in less time when labels consistently print, adhere, and scan properly. Think about it: if a barcode label isn’t scannable or it falls of a container, operations get interrupted, productivity and efficiency suffer, and costs rise. Finally, consider the fact that with Zebra certified supplies, wear and tear on printers and print heads is reduced, and the need to reprint and replace labels due to poor quality is virtually eliminated. When you look at the big picture, you’ll see that by choosing Zebra, you’re choosing a lower total cost of ownership (TCO).

How to create a lean enterprise labeling system with Bartender Barcoding Software by Seagull Scientific

Inventory and assess existing labels

The first step in a best-practices enterprise labeling deployment is to find and inventory all your label files. A team or individual should catalog network contents, ask current and former label users to search their hard drives, browse company intranets, and search for attachments in Outlook or other email clients. Don’t be surprised by the number of labels and the diversity of their locations.

Once you have collected all the labels, you should assess what kinds of data they contain, the sizes of the labels, and if any special label media are required. Look for redundancies that can be reduced by creating one document or template for similar labels and then applying business rules and process controls to define the data printed on each label.

You can also simplify label management and improve data accuracy by consolidating different but related formats into one label file or template.

Group associated label formats

Think about this common scenario: You need to create pallet, case, item and shipping labels for a product. If you store these different labels in one label file, you can easily tie all the data fields to the same data sources. When a data source changes, all the labels change. And when it’s time to print, the system only needs to call one file, not four different label files, and conditional printing rules can ensure that the correct number of each label are printed.

Centralize label management

A streamlined and efficient labeling process requires centralized management of label access, editing and printing. When you store your labels in one place where they can be accessed throughout the enterprise — a “single-source-of-label” strategy — you can make changes to the central data source and automatically cascade them throughout the entire organization immediately.

Centralized control also enables a complete audit trail by defining user roles and allowing only designated users to “check out” and “check in” labels, alter designs, edit data, or print labels. This also reduces the risk of unauthorized label changes. In addition, by including a version management system, you can roll back any unauthorized or errant changes to a previous, correct version.

A centralized system eliminates the proliferation of label formats that occurs when labels are duplicated and shared, and it helps ensure you are always using the right label with the right data.

Engage professional services

Once you have cataloged all your existing labels and decided which can be eliminated, consolidated or grouped, it’s a good time to engage professional services to help build your new labels. Enterprises understand their business needs, but most lack the necessary skills to build label formats and templates using best practices. Bringing in experts to design and deploy the new labels saves time and resources.
