New Zebra Print Engines ZE511/521
It has been a slow launch period for Zebra’s new OEM print engines, the ZE511, and ZE521. Having to contend with Covid and the global logistics mess, has caused the launch to be delayed for quite a long time. While the printers have been available (somewhat) to order for a while, public information on the […]
Inkjet or Labeling for Shipping Case Barcodes?
When it comes to adding barcodes to your corrugated shipping cases, the two most common ways to do this are to either use labels or print directly to the box using an inkjet printer, depending on your product and industry.

Print and apply the correct shipping label to the shipment and also make sure a packing slip (or invoice) is included. The packaging slip can be folded and placed inside the package – either by hand […]
Reinventing Print and Apply Labeling
Print and apply labeling can be a challenge, with conflicting wishes. More output at higher conveyor speeds, less downtime, better print quality – especially for GS1 barcodes, and make things easier for the operator. Checking all of these boxes in one piece of equipment has been difficult in the past, but the brand-new ID Technology […]
