Rectangular barcode labels provide clean, scannable identification for products, parts, and assets across retail, warehousing, healthcare, and manufacturing. The straight edges and stable proportions of a rectangle make it the ideal canvas for accurate bars, quiet zones, and human‑readable text. Printed with high contrast and precise line widths, these labels scan quickly the first time—reducing checkout delays, inventory errors, and picking mistakes. Whether you need short runs for projects or high‑volume rolls for automated applicators, rectangular barcode labels deliver performance and consistency you can rely on.

Choose from common symbologies including UPC‑A/E, EAN‑13/8, Code 128, Code 39, Interleaved 2‑of‑5, and 2D options like QR and Data Matrix. We format quiet zones, check digits, and human‑readable lines to industry best practices so scanners capture data instantly at point of sale or on the warehouse floor. Sequential numbering and variable data printing let you serialize items, lots, and locations at scale. Need GS1 formatting or application identifiers? We can structure data to align with your existing systems and workflows for seamless integration.

Pick paper for cost‑effective retail shelf labeling, or step up to polypropylene and polyester films for rugged, long‑life applications. Laminates in gloss, matte, or satin protect against abrasion and chemicals while preserving scan contrast. Adhesive choices include standard permanent, removable for clean peel, freezer‑grade for cold chains, and high‑tack for low‑energy plastics. From cartons and totes to metal racks and glass vials, rectangular barcode labels are engineered to stick and stay readable through daily handling and environmental stress.

Labels are available for direct thermal (receipt‑style heat imaging) and thermal transfer (ribbon‑based) printers, as well as laser and pigment inkjet devices. Direct thermal suits short‑term shipping labels, while thermal transfer delivers the longest barcode life on durable films. We offer sheeted labels for office printers and roll formats with 1" or 3" cores for desktops and industrial units. Calibrated die cuts and gap spacing ensure reliable sensing, straight feeds, and crisp, non‑bleeding bars for top‑tier scan rates across devices.

The rectangular footprint makes it easy to maintain proper quiet zones around bars for reliable scanning. We help match x‑dimension, bar height, and label size to your scan distance using the “10× rule” guide—viewing distance in inches ≈ x‑height in mils for 1D. Need compact labels for small bottles, or wide labels for shipping and pallet IDs? Custom sizes keep codes legible while fitting your packaging. Add human‑readable lines, SKUs, and branding without sacrificing the clear space scanners require.

Use dark bars on a light, non‑glossy background to maximize contrast; avoid low‑contrast colors and busy patterns beneath the code. Keep codes flat—avoid tight curves—and orient bars vertically on corrugate (“picket fence”) to reduce print gain. Provide data in CSV or spreadsheet form for batch variable printing, and confirm leading zeros for UPC/EAN fields. Always proof at actual size and test with your scanners before bulk runs to validate speed and angle tolerance in real conditions.

• Preserve quiet zones; don’t crop too tight

• Favor black bars on matte white for highest contrast

• Use vector EPS/PDF or 600dpi+ rasters for razor‑sharp edges

• Lock UPC/EAN check digits; verify before print

• Test with your actual scanners and lighting environment

Rectangular barcode labels streamline POS, fulfillment, and inventory counts while reducing manual entry. Use them for shelf labels and price tags, inbound/outbound shipping, bin and rack IDs, work‑in‑process tracking, and durable asset plates. Healthcare teams rely on them for specimen vials and medication carts; field services tag tools and equipment for fast audits. With consistent print quality and adhesive performance, your codes scan cleanly from receiving to returns with minimal rework or rescans.

→ Retail POS, shelf and price labels, SKU stickers

→ Shipping labels, cartons, pallets, and compliance IDs

→ Warehouse racks, bins, totes, and pick faces

→ Asset tags for tools, IT equipment, and field gear

→ Healthcare specimen, pharmacy, and lab labeling

Apply to clean, dry surfaces free of dust and oils; wipe with isopropyl alcohol for best adhesion. For curved or textured items, choose flexible films and high‑tack adhesives. Avoid placing codes across seams, tight radii, or high‑gloss hotspots that reflect scanner lasers. If your workflow involves cold storage, allow labels to reach room temperature before application or specify freezer‑grade adhesive. Proper install ensures barcodes remain flat, bonded, and scannable over the label’s service life.

Select material, adhesive, and format (sheets, rolls, or fanfold), then upload your art or send a data file for variable printing. We’ll prepare a precise digital proof showing code size, quiet zones, and human‑readable lines before production. Labels are printed on calibrated presses, cut accurately, and packed for easy loading—ready to scan fast from receiving to retail. Add verification or samples on request to validate performance in your environment before scaling up.

→ Choose material, adhesive, and roll/sheet format

→ Upload art or provide CSV for variable data/serialization

→ Approve proof with code size and quiet‑zone checks

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