Once you have got your wording and content right, you need to identify the most efficient and cost effective way to print your labels. This short guide from the experts at AIS Ltd can help you make the best decision for your company.
What are label printers?
In a nutshell, a label printer is able to produce a professional style of label to meet the requirements
of your industry. For example, in the health industry label printers can be used for patient ID and wristbands. In retail, pricing labels, shipping and packaging labels can be generated and in the food and beverage industry labels containing important information about ingredients, allergens and storage instructions can be printed. Your company can also benefit from rapidly produced visitor identification badges and hazard warning labels - to name but a few.

Desktop
A label printer suitable for a desktop is a good alternative if space is tight. The machine is compact and easy to use. It is a very affordable option for low and medium print requirements. This could be well utilised in a healthcare setting, for example.
Mobile
Mobile label printers are increasing in popularity. They offer freedom and increased efficiency to businesses working on location. A mobile device keeps businesses working on the go and allows printing on site.
Hazardous label printers
If you work in an industry covered by the new hazardous chemical regulations then this is the machine for you. By law, labels need to identify hazardous chemicals and give specific hazard warnings. If the same chemical is transferred into a new container, the new container must also carry the warning. This label printer is compliant with new classification requirements and obligations according to GHS.
