Chapter 5• Labels and Label Printing
Worth Data offers several software options that will allow you to create your
own bar code labels. Our LabelRIGHT program now includes an easy-to-use
Excel interface that allows you to design a label in LabelRIGHT, then go to
Excel and print your labels using data from your worksheet. Go to the Worth
Data website at www.barcodehq.com to download the LabelRIGHT demo
and for more information. Of course you can always call us at (800) 345-
4220 if you prefer.
If you do print your own labels, make sure to use appropriate label
stock.Choosing the right label stock the first time around can save you
time and money in the long run. Different label stock should be used for
shelf labels than is used for item labels.
• Shelf labels are generally long-term labels - they must be extreme-
ly durable, the adhesive must be strong and permanent and they
should withstand being wiped off without smudging or deteriorat-
ing. That is why we decided to provide the best polyester label
stock available for shelf labeling. It comes in 5 sizes, uses a
strong, permanent adhesive, will not absorb stains, can be wiped
off and bonds extremely well with laser printer toner. We must
warn you though that this stock is for LASER PRINTERS only - Ink
Jet printers do not use a permanent ink and the printing tends to
bleed on the labels - producing unreadable bar codes. These
same polyester labels can be used if durable item labels are
necessary - maybe in an environment such as a plant nursery
where labels must withstand moisture and weather.
• Item labels are generally short term - they don’t need to last long,
so durability is not usually an issue and you want the label to be
fairly removable - especially if you are labeling retail items. For
these reasons, we recommend Avery paper labels for item label-
ing. They are fairly inexpensive, don’t have a highly permanent
adhesive and are not highly durable. You can print on paper labels
using either a laser printer or an ink jet printer but we recommend
a laser printer for the highest quality printing possible.
