Pre-Printed Bar Code Labels:
We have now closed on the subject of hardware, and need to give you some brief comments on the pre-
printed bar code labels you ordered. There are three types of pre-printed bar code labels available. They
are used only if a product does not already contain a label:
Label Type 1: Adhesive Labels - Simply peel off the backing and press the label onto the item you want
to identify. These labels can be affixed to almost anything. Some examples include manila file folders,
cassettes, paper documents, pictures, boxes, jars, music albums, diskettes, bottles, etc.
Label Type 2: Bar Code Tags - These have a rubber band attached to them. To use them, simply wrap
the rubber band around the item. Note that these bar code tags are reusable and can be moved from one
product to another. You can erase the old information and re-cord a new description.
These labels are usually attached to small items. For example, they might be used on medicine bottles,
small bottles in the kitchen such as red food coloring, peppermint extract, herb bottles, spice bottles, and
leftovers in the refrigerator, etc. They also work very well in the freezer.
