Incorporating barcodes with shrink film packaging plays a vital role in product identification and inventory management. Shrink film packaging has been extensively adopted in industries including pharmaceuticals and personal care due to its ability to provide a tamper-evident and شیرینگ حرارتی high-security seal. However, with the rise of e-commerce, 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 size
The EAN code is the most commonly used barcode in consumer goods and manufacturing and is widely adopted in packaging industries. The EAN-13 barcode is a standardized barcode format. Choose a barcode size that fits comfortably your product packaging, considering the packaging design.

Step 2: Position the barcode correctly
Position the barcode on a clean, flat surface of the product, avoiding any creases or folds in the shrink film. Ensure the barcode is centered and is securely fixed to the packaging. This ensures the barcode remains readable.

Step 3: Use a barcode-printed film or laminate
To reduce the risk of barcode loss, consider using a barcode-printed film. This product has a printed barcode with a barcode, eliminating the need for manual application. When using a bare film, ensure the barcode is applied using a heat-resistant adhesive.

Step 4: Ensure barcode legibility post-shrink
As the shrink film becomes tight, the barcode may become distorted. To avoid barcode distortion, choose a barcode type and font that maintains readability even after shrinkage. Some fonts and styles are available are created to resist distortion even after shrinkage, making it more readable by scanners.

Step 5: Test the barcode-scanning process
Before sending products to market, test the required scanning to ensure it works smoothly. Use a handheld scanner to read the barcode on a test product and required information.
