When you are requesting code based label design work to be done or requesting a quote on having the work done, there is a certain amount of information that will need to be collected before we can either quote or start on the label design work.
First we need to be aware of the barcode numbers you are currently using, because it may limit the barcode formats that can be used. This is because some barcode types do not allow for Alpha characters (A to Z).
This is an example of a 3 across label. I am showing 2 down just for clarity and to show label orientation for the feed direction.
(width across all labels including margins and gaps between labels)
This is the gap on the left side of the first label, and right side of the last label.
As shown, this is the vertical gap between each label.
This is the horizontal gap between each row of labels.
The width of each individual label, not including any gaps.
Height of each individual label, not including any gaps.
Additional information that may be required:
As shown, this will include the vertical gap between the two labels, but not the left margin.
As shown, this will include the horizontal gap between the two labels.
If you have a design that you are currently using and are happy with the design, it can be very helpful to send a copy of these labels (faxed or emailed) along with the request for a quote. This will help the designer in creating a label similar to it. Keep in mind that creating an exact duplicate of the label may not be possible.
Garden Center labels add another level of complexity to the label designs because of the label stock that they commonly use.
