The common material used for packaging cartons is corrugated paper, and unlike ordinary white paper, the reflectivity of the paper needs to be noted on corrugated paper, which will affect the identification of barcodes.
A bar code is a graphical identifier used to express a set of information by arranging multiple black bars and blanks of varying widths according to certain coding rules. A common barcode is a pattern of parallel lines arranged by black bars (referred to as bars) and white bars (referred to as blanks) with widely varying reflectivity. Today we would like to share with you some notes on barcode printing on corrugated cartons.
1.The common material used for packaging cartons is corrugated paper, and unlike ordinary white paper, the reflectivity of the paper needs to be noted on corrugated paper, which will affect the identification of barcodes.
2.in the choice of inkjet printer ink, should use good color fastness, small permeability, ink diffusion moderate high performance inkjet ink, in order to ensure the high quality of bar code printing.
3.When printing barcode in corrugated carton, attention should be paid to the problem of dimensional accuracy, the surface of the carton may not be completely flat, there may be convex and concave unevenness, and the force may be uneven during the conveying process, resulting in bending and deformation of the barcode, and the barcode should have a certain tolerance range when ensuring accuracy.
4.Barcode has strict requirements on the bar-space ratio, so the stability of the production line speed must be ensured, if the production line speed changes, it will cause the length of the printed content to change, for the text content, the length change will generally not affect the misreading, but for the barcode printing, the barcode length change will change the bar-space ratio, causing the barcode to be unrecognized. If it is impossible to ensure the stability of the transmission during the printing process, the synchronizer should be configured to ensure that the printing speed is synchronized with the production line speed.
5.Before batch printing barcode, barcode printing test should be carried out to ensure that the barcode can be scanned and read correctly. Because barcodes must use special equipment to read, unlike text information can be read directly by the naked eye, the correctness of the barcode content must be checked before mass production to prevent human error. The process of printing code printing should be regularly spot-checked.
