On-site printing equipment adopts general-purpose printers and special barcode printers. Regardless of which printer is used, the premise is that the printed barcode logo (label) needs to be generated and then printed afterwards.
2、Off-site printing
Off-site printing can be divided into letterpress printing, lithographic printing, gravure printing and aperture plate printing according to the form of plate making. You can generate barcode labels in batch in barcode labeling software, export PDF documents in batch, and then do off-site printing.
