1. Printing of logistics face sheets
• Scenario requirements: The e-commerce and express delivery industries need a large number of high-definition, wear-resistant logistics bills to ensure that the barcodes and information are readable during transportation.
• Slitting machine function: The slitting machine will cut the wide ribbon into a narrow format (such as 110mm width) suitable for the face sheet printer (such as thermal transfer printer), and match the face sheet labels of different sizes (such as 100×150mm).
• Advantages: Precise slitting avoids waste, improves the adaptability of ribbon and label, and ensures long-lasting and clear printing results.
2. Storage shelf labels
• Scenario requirements: In warehouse management, barcode labels need to be pasted on shelves, pallets and goods, which is convenient for scanning code inventory or warehousing management.
• Slitter function: Slitting ribbon to a width suitable for small and medium-sized labels (e.g., 50×30mm), compatible with storage printers (e.g., Zebra, TSC models).
• Advantages: Support batch slitting of different specifications to meet the needs of diverse label sizes and improve the efficiency of warehousing operations.
3. Cold chain logistics label
• Scenario requirements: In refrigerated or frozen transportation, the label needs to be resistant to low temperature and moisture, and the barcode can still be recognized under temperature differences.
• Slitting machine function: slitting special material ribbon (such as wax-based resin hybrid type), suitable for low-temperature resistant label materials (such as synthetic paper or PET label).
• Advantage: Ensure that the ribbon is perfectly matched to the specialty label and avoid blurry or falling off prints due to slitting errors.
4. Multilingual labels for cross-border logistics
• Scenario requirements: Cross-border packages need to print multi-language labels, including shipping identification (such as fragile and upward) and international barcodes (such as GS1-128).
• Slitter function: Slitting high-resolution ribbons, supporting complex symbols and small print printing, adapting to international standard label sizes (such as 4×6 inches).
• Advantage: Precise control of the slitting width to avoid misalignment or truncation when printing multilingual content.
5. Returns & Reverse Logistics Labels
• Scenario requirements: Labels need to be regenerated during the return process, which requires fast printing and information that can overwrite the original barcode (e.g., with overlay labels).
• Slitter function: Slitting low-cost ribbons (e.g. pure wax base), matching overlay labels or easy-to-tear stickers, and supporting quick roll changes.
• Advantage: By slitting different adhesive ribbons, it can meet the adhesion needs of temporary labels and reduce the cost of consumables.
Added value
• Customized slitting: slitting non-standard sizes according to customer needs (e.g., ultra-narrow ribbon for small electronic labels).
• Consumables optimization: reduce the waste of leftovers and reduce the cost of ribbon procurement for logistics enterprises.
• Compatibility expansion: Adapt to mainstream printing devices (such as Zebra, Brother, Canon, etc.) to improve the efficiency of supply chain collaboration.
Through the above applications, the barcode ribbon slitting machine has become a key equipment for improving efficiency and reducing costs in the logistics label industry, especially suitable for high-frequency and multi-specification label printing scenarios.
