BARCODING SOLUTIONS FOR COLD STORAGE
The most recent and rapid user of Barcoding & labeling solution is cold chain industry. Earlier ordinary stickers or markers were used on LDPE bags, storage pallets/trays and Corrugated boxes. Currently cold chain industry is transforming itself to use better and different quality of labels. Barcode labels are gradually gaining popularity among the cold storage industry, thereby increasing the interest in developing barcoding software & solutions.
The most crucial aspects for cold chain industries are labels. Variety of cold chain labels:
1. High gumming labels. Since they are far better than the normal offset stickers & Pen markers.
2. Cold temperature resistant labels are important so moisture will neither blur the ink of the label nor it will affect the adhesive/gum of the label.

4. Maintaining the virtual transfer of goods is the biggest challenge. This happens in the metal cutting industries who undertake job works for big steel industries & wholesalers.
Barcoding Solutions for Food Industry
Food industry is a rapidly growing segment and it also holds certain pain areas almost similar to metal fabrications. The similarity is the raw material price fluctuations because of which calculation of the finished goods price also becomes a challenge.
​
Pain areas of Food Industries:
1. Cost fluctuations in cereal, pulses & other household food product prices thereby making it difficult to determine the final prices of the finished/Repacked goods.
