Printing barcodes on to packaging
Hi all,
I have a product which is shipped in a poster tube. Unfortunately as some of you may have experienced, standard labels don’t stick to these tubes very well and tend to peel off.
I found a way around this by using some extra strong adhesive labels but they also have to be pushed down firmly on every corner and doing 100 tubes with both a barcode and a H&S label is quite time consuming and inefficient.
I found a packaging supplier who can print on to tubes for me and it’s very affordable, and would likely save me a fair bit of time.
The only issue is that they will only print in black. The tube is the standard poster tube colour (manilla/brown-ish), so it will be a barcode printed straight on to that. I read online that ideally the contrast between black and white on a barcode is best because the contrast makes it easy to read. Has anyone else tried printing black straight on to cardboard for FBA? Were there any issues with the scanning of the items at Amazon?
Thanks
