Incorporating barcodes with shrink film packaging plays a vital role in product required labeling and tracking. Shrink film packaging is widely used in industries such as food and beverages due to the level of protection it offers. However, as online sales continue to grow, barcodes have taken center stage of the packaging process.

To incorporate barcodes with shrink film packaging, follow these steps:

Step 1: Choose the right barcode type and شیرینگ حرارتی size
The Universal Product Code is the most commonly used barcode in consumer goods and manufacturing and is widely adopted in packaging industries. The EAN-13 barcode consists of 12 digits. Choose a barcode size that is easily readable on your product packaging, considering the packaging design.

Step 2: Position the barcode correctly
Position the barcode on a clean, flat surface of the product, ensuring the barcode is not damaged in the shrink film. Ensure the barcode is centered and aligned with the film's seal area. This helps prevent barcode distortion.

Step 3: Use a barcode-printed film or laminate
To eliminate the risk of barcode damage, consider using a pre-printed barcode laminate. This film or laminate is pre-printed with a barcode, streamlining the packaging process. When using a bare film, ensure the barcode is securely attached to the packaging.

Step 4: Ensure barcode legibility post-shrink
As the shrink film changes its shape, the barcode may become distorted. To prevent this issue, choose a font style and size that maintains readability even after shrinkage. Some designed barcode formats are optimized for readability even after shrinkage, making it more readable by scanners.

Step 5: Test the barcode-scanning process
Before sending items for sale, test the barcode scanning to ensure accurate reading. Use a scanner device to scan the barcode on a test product and product data.
