Additionally , the company provides comprehensive customer support and services to ensure the smooth operation
of their printing systems . Bob promotes how its innovative technologies meet the needs of global businesses , from SMEs to Fortune 500 companies .
He says : ‘ Barcode labels have long been used to support supply chain visibility . The more automation there is , the more important the label , and its readability , becomes . Automation technologies are only effective if they have data received from the label so label quality is paramount , as are robust printers for generating labels . If labels aren ’ t going on boxes , boxes aren ’ t going on containers , trucks , shelves or to customers ! Everything is driven by labels and with linerless labels , large enterprises can not only enhance their sustainability but also streamline their operations and improve safety .” procurementmag . com 103
