Work in Progress Tag
Work in progress tags are used to track the product as it is being assembled. The tag moves with the product and is
updated with status labels and/or notes as the product moves down the assembly process.
Food & Beverage
The food and beverage industry’s labeling requirements are primarily for consumer information
and traceability. High-volume manufacturers pre-print this information on the packaging.
Low-volume manufacturers must also comply with these requirements. The affordable E-Class
printer is an industry favorite for printing the origin, date and time, and lot number information
for their products.
Healthcare
The healthcare industry is under public scrutiny for preventing avoidable
errors that can have dire consequences. Hospitals recognize the usefulness
of barcodes in reducing these errors and use barcode printers throughout
their facilities to print a variety of labels and wristbands. The E-Class printer is
used to generate the high quality barcode labels that play such a critical role
in the reduction of medical errors. Since the E-Class is small and versatile, it
can be used in many applications throughout the hospital including laboratory
specimen labels, patient identification, record labeling, and asset identification.
Utilizing a single type of printer simplifies training throughout the hospital.
Patient Identication
Increasingly, hospitals use barcoded wristbands for patient identification. The
E-Class printer is an ideal wristband printer because of its small size, reliable
handling of narrow media, and large roll accommodation.
Home Infusion
Specialty pharmacies use E-Class printers for medication identification in applications like home infusion where
intravenous therapies are prepared and labeled.
Pharmacy
The number of labels printed per day at every pharmacy has grown significantly in recent years
causing a strain on the duty cycle of a laser printer. The small size, exceptional print quality, and
high volume durability makes the E-Class ideal for printing pharmacy prescription labels.
Specimen Identication
Laboratories use the E-Class to print barcoded chemical resilient labels that are placed on
specimen test tubes and slides for reference throughout the laboratory processes. The E-Class thermal transfer printer
and synthetic printing materials are ideal for generating the perfect barcode label, and the E-Class’ small size allows
location flexibility.
