Die cut barcode labels combine precision‑shaped outlines with scan‑reliable printing, so your codes look branded and read fast the first time. Unlike generic squares or rectangles, die cutting follows your artwork silhouette—tabs, notches, rounded corners, or custom contours—without compromising quiet zones or bar clarity. Use them to align perfectly on unique packaging, curved bottles, or tight equipment panels where standard labels fail. With calibrated print, high contrast, and durable stocks, die cut barcode labels elevate shelf presence while keeping operations efficient and accurate.

Every die line is engineered around the code: we maintain quiet zones, bar height, and human‑readable placement so scanners capture data instantly. Complex shapes—keyholes, grips, and cable wraps—are matched with reliefs to avoid seams and tight radii. For tiny primary packs, micro‑format labels keep the footprint minimal while preserving contrast and x‑dimension. The result is a custom silhouette that fits your product perfectly and still delivers fast, reliable scans at POS, in the warehouse, and on the production line.

Choose coated paper for economical retail use, or upgrade to polypropylene (PP) and polyester (PET) films for moisture, abrasion, chemical, or outdoor exposure. Add gloss, matte, or satin laminates to protect print while preserving high contrast for optics. Adhesive options include permanent for long‑term bond, removable for clean peel, freezer‑grade for cold chains, high‑tack for low‑energy plastics, and tamper‑evident for security. Your die cut barcode labels stay put—and stay scannable—through handling, cleaning, and environmental stress.

→ Stocks: paper, PP, PET with gloss/matte/satin laminates

→ Adhesives: permanent, removable, freezer, high‑tack, tamper‑evident*

→ Formats: sheets, rolls (1" / 3" cores), fanfold; custom OD/ID specs

→ Finishing: die cut, perforations, butt‑cuts, and sequential sets

→ Options: color bands, logos, and brand panels without losing contrast

Support includes UPC‑A/E, EAN‑13/8, Code 128, Code 39, ITF‑14, and 2D codes like QR and Data Matrix for dense data on small labels. We format quiet zones, check digits, and GS1 Application Identifiers to best practices so handhelds and vision systems read instantly. Order for direct thermal, thermal transfer (wax/resin, resin), laser, or pigment inkjet. Calibrated die‑cuts, gap spacing, and sensing marks ensure straight feeds, crisp edges, and high first‑pass read rates across devices and duty cycles.

We match x‑dimension and bar height to your scan distance using industry guidelines, then wrap the custom outline around those protected areas. Human‑readable text is positioned to avoid quiet‑zone encroachment, and brand elements are placed in safe regions. For curved or textured substrates, we spec flexible films, larger radii, and “picket fence” orientation on corrugate to reduce gain. The outcome is attractive, on‑brand labels that still meet the “first scan” standard in real operating conditions.

• Preserve quiet zones; never crop bars or decimals

• Use dark bars on matte light backgrounds for maximum contrast

• Provide vector EPS/PDF or 600dpi+ rasters; proof at actual size

• Verify GS1 AIs, check digits, and leading zeros before print

• Test with your scanners and lighting to validate angle tolerance

Die cut barcode labels excel where fit and function both matter. Use custom shapes for tapered bottles, cap seals, tool handles, rack edges, cable flags, and tight machine panels. In retail and 3PL, shaped labels align with die‑cut packaging windows and automated applicators. Labs and pharmacies rely on micro die‑cuts for vials and syringes, while service teams tag assets with contours that resist lift on edges. Every label is designed to speed scans and reduce misreads from receiving to returns.

Apply to clean, dry surfaces; wipe with isopropyl alcohol to remove oils and dust. Choose high‑tack adhesives and flexible films for textured plastics or small radii. Avoid spanning seams or deep corrugations, and let labels acclimate to room temperature before cold‑chain installs. Proper placement keeps labels flat and bonded, prevents edge lift, and ensures scanners read quickly—day after day—through handling, cleaning, and environmental changes across your operation.

Specify shape, size, stock, adhesive, and printer workflow, then upload artwork or send CSV data for serialization and variable fields. We’ll return a precise digital proof showing code size, quiet zones, human‑readable lines, and roll/sheet specs before production. Labels are printed on calibrated presses, die‑cut accurately, and packed for easy loading—arriving scan‑ready and cut to fit your product exactly, with no rework or rescans required.

→ Choose stock, adhesive, and roll/sheet format

→ Upload vector art or provide CSV for variable data

→ Approve proof with quiet‑zone and die‑line checks

→ Receive scan‑ready die cut barcode labels, cut to spec
