Barcodes
Barcodes are a standard method of identifying the manufacturer and product category of a particular item. They are a series of vertical bars of varying widths, in which each of the digits, zero through nine, are represented by a different pattern of bars that can be read by a laser scanner. The bars are commonly found on consumer products and are used especially for inventory control.
Consecutive Numbering
Consecutive numbered labels are traditionally used as a method to identify products in a unique way. Adding the barcode to the same label allows the end-user to track products, record the date of manufacture, monitor engineering revisions, and provide other information that can be linked to the sequential number of the product.
Variable Imaging
Variable printing is a print run where each printed piece is different and/or personalized. This type of information is also referred to as Personalization, 1:1 marketing, Variable Data Printing (VDP), Versioning, Direct Marketing, and much more. The data fields and the images are called variables because they change, or vary, for each copy.
Variable printing is with different data on each one used a lot for warehousing distribution, shipping, storage, tracking, etc. This variable information may be in the form of variable text, barcodes, sequential numbers, bath codes, date codes, etc.
Quick Response Codes (QR Codes)
A Quick Response (QR) code is a two dimensional matrix barcode that can store information.
By carrying information in both directions, QR codes can carry up to several hundred times the amount of data carried by ordinary barcodes.
