Zebra HC100 WristBand Printer - Functions for a Wristband Printer

An ID printer that is affordable, easy to use, and has a mired of application possibilities for tracking people. The new Zebra HC100

from Zebra Technologies fits the mold for Hospital Admittance and POC-Point of Care, Events, Detainees, and Emergency Evacuations. These applications are only a few, but some of the most important needs we have for this printer.

Hospital Admission has long been a mixture of applications from laser fed sheets to large specialized printers. This material used in some of these systems for one is inferior to ZBAND Zebra Wristband labels. Simply putting some hand sanitizers on some of those wristbands can make the information disappear, but not on the ZBAND. The anti-microbial properties (only available on the Zebra ZBAND) are also a big selling feature with any Zebra Wristband printer or label. The printer is the real beauty though, with cartridge fed labels with different color strips to identify patient issues. A quick picture of the patient and barcode on the label will insure who the patient is, and what their special needs are throughout the POC process from medication to treatments.

Conventions and special events have many needs where a lanyard and ID badge are really not needed, and a wristband is preferred. The wristband is much less intrusive on the comfort of the attendee, and is much easier to scan for the person at the show. Even shows where the ID wristbands are not used to rescan, can be utilize for security and even ID. The level of the attendee can be indicated by the color of the wristband code.

Our of country detainees or Illegal Aliens have actually used this methodology with wristbands, and used barcode label property tags to identify a bag of belongings upon return to their country. Likewise in low security prisons, wristbands have been used on inmates for certain activities. It is also useful in some ways these are adhesive bands that will normally not stick twice, and can have a picture for ID purposes.

Emergency evacuations are ideal also for these. Using a PC or Handheld computer and software, this printer can print a barcode that is tied to a person's personal information. From here it can be utilized to track the evacuee's movements by scanning the wristband and then the bus, bed, location, facility, or holding area.

These are only four of the many applications that can be accomplished with Zebra Technologies HC100 Wristband printer. At a very cheap price, this printer can be utilized in many areas where a person needs to be tracked or admitted. Call or email us, if we can give you any more information on this printer.

Rat Tail Tags and Butterfly Labels for Barcoding Jewelery

In the jewelry industry, keeping track of product is essential. Since most pieces are more costly and require more time to produce relative to other industries, jewelers have a heightened need for accurate inventory and product information.

Barcoding in the jewelry industry also requires an additional degree of finesse. Barcodes must be small and visually unobtrusive so as to not distract from the piece of jewelry in any away. The labels or tags used must be easy to remove so that the customer does not take home a product with a sticky residue, but at the same time, should not be too easy to take off. If tags tend to fall off, it may cause organizational problems and increase the likelihood of theft.

There are a variety of products used across the jewelry industry in inventory management, including handwritten adhesive tags, dot matrix labels and flat labels. However, the two barcoding solutions that we’ve found work best for most of our jewelry customers are rat-tail rags and butterfly labels.

Rat-tail tags provide a simple solution to jewelry labeling needs, and you’ve likely seen them in use. They consist of small barcode tags with a longer strip of paper extending from one side (see the below illustration). They can be attached to jewelry by slipping this “rat tail” end though a space in the piece of jewelry, and then folding the adhesive sides together, trapping the end of the rat tail between them.

Butterfly labels are also well suited for barcoding jewelry. These labels are shaped almost like dumbbells, and have two squares of adhesive connected by a thinner paper strip between them (illustration below). They are attached to jewelry by passing one side through a space in the jewelry, and adhering the two ends together.

There are also many variations within both of these categories. Identifying which labels will help you best organize, track and safeguard your inventory will depend on the kind of jewelry you are producing or selling.

We are happy to help companies of any size determine what type of labeling and barcoding would work best for them.
