    Print with Purpose: Embracing Sustainability in Printing

    January 23, 2024

    In a world where businesses are increasingly committed to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) strategies, the pressure on IT teams to enhance sustainability credentials has never been greater. A key focus is the reduction of paper consumption, yet in many industries, the complete elimination of paper remains impractical due to both practical and regulatory reasons. From retail to hospitality, printed receipts, price tags and delivery notes are still essential – so what is the most environmentally friendly approach to printing? In this blog, we explore the innovative printing solutions that are available to businesses. The Sustainability Challenge Businesses globally are continually exploring technology innovation to reduce carbon emissions and meet corporate and regulatory goals for improved sustainability. The use of paper is a key area of innovation, with many companies looking at ways of reducing print to cut consumption of both paper and power. However, completely eradicating paper usage is often not attainable. In retail, for example, providing customers with a physical receipt is a necessity, and capturing email information at the point of sale can be complex and time consuming, thus damaging the customer experience. Moreover, many customers do not want to share email addresses or phone numbers, making it essential to provide a paper receipt. Attention has turned, therefore, to the paper itself, leading to the creation of environmentally friendly paper products. Blue Paper InnovationOne solution lies in the paper itself. Environmentally friendly paper products, such as Koehler’s Blue4est® thermal paper are an example of innovation in paper technology. This blue paper uses a mechanical rather than chemical reaction to create prints. This innovation not only makes the paper recyclable but also certifies it to be used directly with food products, providing an additional benefit to both the hospitality industry and retailers selling loose foods. Flexible PrintingShifting to blue receipts shows customers that the business is meeting its customers’ demands for more environmentally conscious products and services and is committed to sustainability. The challenge for the printer industry is that this mechanical process is very different to traditional chemical printing and therefore requires a new approach. The paper takes longer to react, for example, which means the print process has to be slowed, while the print density needs to be increased to optimise the output. Companies will not use blue paper for all uses. Intelligent printers that use optical sensors can automatically switch between traditional and blue paper types, detecting the paper and adjusting settings automatically. Minimising ConsumptionIn addition to embracing environmentally friendly paper, retailers can explore intelligent printers that include paper saving options. This includes minimising space between lines, reducing print size, and exploring pressure sensitive, Linerless labels. Linerless labels in particular eliminate the backing which typically ends up as landfill waste. Furthermore, because Linerless labels are much thinner due to the lack of backing, each roll provides around 40% more paper length compared to traditional label paper, extending its usage and reducing the carbon emissions associated with both shipping and storage. The saving is amplified further, when you consider that each label can be cut to length on demand, resulting in an optimal use of label rolls, with minimal waste. Paper consumption is a key consideration for any ESG strategy. Embracing intelligent printers and environmentally friendly paper to minimise usage provides an immediate win for any retailer or hospitality provider. The ability to move seamlessly between traditional and new environmentally friendly blue paper not only supports sustainability goals but also enhances a company's environmental credentials. With customers increasingly intrigued by the eco-friendly blue receipts, this innovation becomes a powerful tool for reinforcing a commitment to sustainability in the business landscape.

    The Role of RFID Labelling in the Retail Shopping Experience

    October 24, 2023

    In the ever-changing world of retail, staying ahead of the curve to meet consumer demands is essential to remaining competitive. With many new technologies on the market today, RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) labelling has emerged as a game-changer transforming the way retailers manage their inventory, streamline business operations, and even enhancing their customer experiences. In this blog, BIXOLON will explore the impact of RFID labelling for the Retail industry. What is RFID Technology RFID is a form of wireless technology that uses radio waves to identify and track objects. It consists of three main components: an RFID reader, RFID tags and a software system or database for data management. Typically, in retail RFID label tags are attached to products and RFID readers or beacons are then used to capture the data stored on these tags, enabling real-time identification and monitoring of an individual item.The Role of RFID Labelling in Retail• Inventory ManagementThe main benefit of RFID labelling in retail is the ability to standardise inventory management in warehouses, stockrooms and even on the shop floor. Traditional barcode labelling systems require the manual scanning of individual items, which takes time and is prone to errors. Whereas RFID labelling allows retailers to simultaneously scan and log multiple items improving efficiency and accuracy. With RFID, retailers can track inventory in real-time to monitor stock levels, to ensure availability and minimise excess inventory.• Los PreventionRFID labelling is an effective tool for loss prevention and security in retail. Typically attached to desirable products such as high value goods, technology or sportswear, RFID labels track the movement of products throughout the store and can quickly be identified by triggering an alert if there is any suspicious activity which deters theft and reduces shrinkage.• Data AnalyticsData generated by RFID technology also provides retailers with valuable insights to analyse and understand sales trends, product preferences and even customer behaviour. This information can then determine future business decisions such as inventory, store layouts and even marketing strategies.• Customer ExperienceRFID tagging can also enhance the customer experience. When working in tandem with other technologies it can be used for effective self-service checkouts or simply allowing customers to simply walk out of the store with their items which are logged by beacons and automatically charged to their accounts. This type of flexibility reduces staffing levels and customer wait times, while improving convenience. As RFID labelling transforms the retail industry, it will become more integrated into the retail landscape, shaping the way businesses operate and interact with their customers. To stay competitive, businesses must investigate RFID labelling technology to harness its potential for future operations. Manufacturers such as BIXOLON offer a range of intuitive RFID printers using the popular UHF RFID print and encoding technology.

    3 Benefits of RFID Labelling for the Cannabis Industry

    April 25, 2023

    3 Benefits of RFID Labelling for the Cannabis IndustryCannabis must be tracked and managed from seed to sale. Throughout the whole process cannabis growers and dispensaries can benefit from incorporating radio frequency identification (RFID) technology into their business operations. With RFID tags, cannabis growers can track plants across the seed cycle as well as provide documentation of daily operations to regulatory companies in accordance with state regulations. Dispensaries can utilize RFID technology to process and verify incoming cannabis products as well as real-time stock management. RFID technology offers several advantages for the cannabis industry, including these top three benefits: 1. Accurately Track CannabisRFID technology allows the cannabis industry to efficiently track seeds throughout the plant’s lifecycle; from the time a seed is planted until the sale. With complex and differing state laws, it’s important to ensure tracking is correctly reported internally as well as with regulators. Data on each item, such as the number of plants in a greenhouse or shipping verification for products received in a warehouse, can be bulk tracked to ensure accurate reporting to the respective regulator body as well as full visibility into business operations. 2. Real-time Inventory ManagementRFID labels allow dispensaries to easily track products in inventory. Spend less time on audits and stay compliant with regulatory inspections. Dispensaries can leverage real-time data to stay on top of inventory, quickly generate inventory reports, and track product performance. 3. Reduce Human ErrorDecrease human error and save time by relying on the accuracy of RFID technology. During daily operation documentation, cannabis growers can move away from time consuming and manual error-prone processes. RFID labels can store a variety of plant information. For example, employees in greenhouses can read several RFID tags at the same time, including those hidden from an employee’s sight allowing easy documentation and reporting. BIXOLON’s RFID PrintersTo help you make the right choice, BIXOLON provides printing solutions for every stage of the cannabis lifecycle.

    The Build-up of Retail Resilience through Digitalisation

    March 21, 2023

    In recent times digitalisation has touched every aspect of retail as traditional offline Retailers have found they have had to quickly adapt and digitalise their sales and operations to come more competitive. Brick-and mortar stores have had to integrate omni-channel technology to streamline their stores and improve the customer experience. Harvesting data using these new technologies has allowed Retailers to utilise their declining footfall in physical stores by adapting them into e-fulfilment hubs. This is done by looking at under-performing store fronts and utilising the workable space to create both an instore buying experience with a mini fulfilment hub to offer physical purchases, click-and-collect and localised fulfilment shipping with inventory taken directly from the shop floor. However, Retailers using this type of business model require a very detailed tracking system to make sure that the correct stock is at the right location on time. The Importance of Inventory Labelling Labelling stock is central for the smooth running of this business model, from labelled stock arriving at stores to re-labelling shipments picked for ecommerce orders on the shop floor. Retailers need a clear, concise system to track all sellable items. With a click-and-collect, online delivery services and physical sales, Retailers also need to contend with consumer returns which will need to be clearly labelled as either faulty and returned to the central hub or tagged to go back onto the shop floor. With numerous technologies available on the market today, a popular technology combination is a simple handheld PDA linked up to an inventory management system which is paired to a label printer. Depending on the type of label printing volume required, either a desktop label printer or a mobile printer may be considered. Label media is also a factored consideration. With many different types of label media on the market today, traditional linered labelling is no longer the only go to option for Retailers. Linerless labelling has increased in popularity in recent years and is essentially label media without the backing paper. This eco-friendly labelling alternative allows variable length labelling and is available with either permanent or semi-permanent adhesive depending on your printing requirements. BIXOLON Printers BIXOLON offers a range of printing solution for inventory and price management labelling. These include the XT5-40 industrial label printer for high volume labelling with optional UHF RFID print-encoding capabilities. The XD5-40 4-inch (118mm) and XD3-40 4-inch (118mm) desktop Direct Thermal and Thermal Transfer printer series’ which offer value added features to suit a range of budgets. Alongside, the XL5-40 desktop 4-inch dedicated desktop Linerless label printer. Alternatively, for a mobile solution, BIXOLON’s premium XM7 mobile label printer series offers 2-inch, 3-inch and 4-inch mobility liner and linerless labelling for printing on the go. BIXOLON e-commerce labelling in action… Customer Case Study - Galeries LafayetteBIXOLON has been chosen as the printing hardware of choice by the famous Paris based Retailer Galeries Lafayette as part of their ‘click and collect’ omni-channel strategy for taking a ‘web-to-store’ approach.

    Supermarket Inventory Management Labelling

    February 24, 2023

    Globally more than 900 million tonnes of food is thrown away each year according to the UN.* Food retailers such as supermarkets and grocers have increasing consumer responsibility paired with the increasing importance of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) initiatives to efficiently manage and reduce unnecessary food waste. For any supermarket, managing perishable inventory is an ongoing challenge as customers demand the freshest food with the widest choice. Seasonal variation in consumption and changes in buying habits can lead to surplus supplies and consequential food waste. Although there are a number of efforts retailers can go to elevate this issue such as charity donations; product mark downs or expiration date-based discounting is the normally the first step retailers take to encourage customers to purchase goods to avoid disposal and maintain a product margin. Product Markdown Technology Product markdowns are traditionally done towards the end of the day on perishable goods such as baked, dairy, fruits and vegetables which are highlighted by brightly coloured labels which often include a barcode plus pricing to easily scan and emphasise a mark-down price. Markdowns are typically done on the shop floor by assistants using a range of labelling procedures from traditional hand written labels to pre-defined pricing guns. However, as POS technology continues to evolve, retailers are now aiding assistants with PDAs and mobile printers which are either transported on a trolley or worn with strap. These devices link directly to the supermarket’s inventory system via the cloud to provide barcode labelling on the go. Handheld labelling technology opens up the opportunity to improve efficiency by allowing multiple users to markdown products with a label which features the price and a barcode which can be instantly scanned by the customer at the checkout. Working with a range of PDA manufacturers and supporting multiple software platforms, BIXOLON’s XM7-20 premium mobile printer offers the perfect solution for product labelling and markdowns XM7-20 Key Features 2-inch (58 mm) Liner and Linerless Mobile Label Printer Simultaneously connects both Bluetooth 5.0 (MFi certified) and Dual-band WLAN (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) Compatibility with major operations including Android™, iOS™ and Windows® Smart battery providing visibility over status and life cycle Embedded peeler and paper guide Direct printing from SAP® Smart Forms and compatibility with a range of label editing applications including BIXOLON’s Label Artist™ and BarTender® For more information on BIXOLON mobile labelling solutions for retail, visit www.Bixolon.com or contact your local BIXOLON sales representative. *euronews.com

    How to Efficiently Print Shipping Labels for e-commerce Businesses

    January 31, 2023

    How to Efficiently Print Shipping Labels for e-commerce Businesses Printing online shipping labels has a significant role in the success of an e-commerce business. With several printing options to choose from, we understand it can be hard to know which is right for your business. Direct thermal label printers do not have ribbon, ink, or toner. As the labels pass underneath the hot printhead, the thermal paper reacts to the heat of the printhead, blackening when heated to produce an image or text. A thermal label printer allows you to streamline your label printing process with speed and consistency to provide an excellent customer experience every step of the way. Each e-commerce shipment requires its own shipping label complete with accurate information. Data accuracy will improve as manual processes prone to human errors can be replaced with the ease of providing correct information to your customers. Making the switch from handwriting or manually copy/pasting information to utilizing a thermal label printer will save you valuable time to focus on other business activities. With over 20 years of experience and the label printer supplier to more than 30 international carriers, BIXOLON has the right printing solution for your e-commerce business. Recommended Thermal Label Printer The XF3-40 thermal label printer is the first addition to BIXOLON’s SOHO Series, available exclusively on Amazon USA.

    Linerless Labelling and Its Role in Sustainable Manufacturing

    June 21, 2022

    Linerless Labelling and Its Role in Sustainable ManufacturingIntroductionSustainable manufacturing is becoming more and more common throughout the supply chain and has many driving forces as to why it is gaining so much popularity and attention. The two primary forces being the substantial financial and environmental benefits from sustainable business practices. Sustainable manufacturing is the creation of manufactured products through economically-sound processes that minimize negative environmental impacts while conserving energy and natural resources. There are many examples of how manufacturers are becoming more sustainable through reducing waste. In this blog, we will focus on the role of label printing and how linerless labelling is growing in popularity as a step towards more sustainable manufacturing. What is Linerless Labelling?There are many labelling options on the market to choose from such as traditional labelling using pre-cut, liner backed labels to liner-free linerless labelling solutions. Linerless labels are pressure-sensitive labels without a liner; they are produced with no liner and a silicon top coat to ensure labels release from one another. Made with a special release coating applied to the face of the label, the labels are able to be wound on a roll without the adhesive sticking to the label below it. As an environmentally-friendly labelling alternative, businesses of all sizes are turning to linerless media as the best option for sustainable printing. The Sustainable Benefits of Linerless LabellingTraditional label rolls come with a siliconized backing liner which typically can’t be recycled, so the liner ends up in a landfill making the overall cost of disposing a liner quite high. Linerless labels do not require backing liner so the waste from this type of labelling is minimized, equating to less materials needing to be used to produce the media. Significantly reducing the paper thickness by removing the liner adds up to 40% more paper length per roll and requires fewer roll changes, improving work efficiency and reducing downtime required to load new paper rolls. Additionally, choosing linerless media reduces shipping and storage costs. Unlike traditional pre-cut labels which have a fixed label length, linerless label rolls allow for labels of multiple sizes to be printed one after the other, to produce the optimum size label for each job. Variable size labels also save on material costs as they produce less waste per label. As linerless label rolls have more labels per roll compared to traditional linered media, printed labels can be applied to packaging quicker. Common Use CasesFast food, take-out, and pick up orders: The increase in to-go orders have increased demand for linerless printers and labels for marking prepared foods and drinks. Common labelling information can include: receipt, customer name, order number and specifics, order date, time, and price.Grocery and retail: Use of linerless labelling is very common in zero waste stores, delis, meat departments, bakeries, and hot food sales. Warehouse, logistics, and transportation: Linerless labelling processes are time and material saving measures. Linerless labels are the most commonly used as shipping labels or in print-and-apply labelling which require variable data as used in product distribution and logistics tracking. How Do BIXOLON and TEKLYNX Help?Linerless labelling does require a printer that supports linerless printing. Between desktop label, mobile, and POS linerless label printers, BIXOLON’s range of linerless printing solutions suit a variety of applications and printing requirements. For linerless label design, TEKLYNX barcode label design software solutions can cater to any size business needs and labelling complexities. Plus, TEKLYNX native printer drivers are purpose-built for optimized performance - maximum quality and speed - of BIXOLON printers. To take sustainable manufacturing and reducing waste one step further, print automation software allows labels to be generated automatically out of an ERP, WMS, or other business system. Print automation supports an extremely efficient label printing process with zero errors, instant print jobs, perfect quality, and no re-prints or re-applications of linerless labels. Sustainable Manufacturing is Here to StayWe predict that expectations will continue to rise around environmental and sustainability responsibilities throughout the supply chain - from raw materials to final consumption. Since a barcode label is required 100% of the time on every item/product within the supply chain, linerless labelling can very quickly help you achieve goals around sustainability.

    Click and Collect – closing the gap between instore and online fulfilment

    April 12, 2022

    In the past 10 years, the gap between instore and online purchasing is beginning to close. Accelerated by the 2020 global pandemic, the rise in popularity of click and collect has enabled retailers to combine their current instore and online offerings. Providing convenience to both the customer and the retailer, click and collect has enabled businesses to turn their stores into fulfilment centre hubs – drawing inventory from shelves to fulfil online orders. These stores are also now being used as return centres which in turn centralises the control of a business’s inventory distribution. Technology within the fulfilment process has become integral to the smooth running of the collection and return process. The need for clear, concise labelling of key information such as order numbers and customer details through QR codes, barcodes, text and logos is essential for outgoing items which are picked and packed from both the shop floor and storeroom. While customer returns also require labelling so an item can be put back on sale or returned to the central hub if required. Desktop label printers placed at certain key checkpoints either at the front or back of house, supplemented with mobile labelling solutions enable convenient printing as part of a larger POS system which might include PCs, tablets, scanners and weighing scales. Label printers for effective fulfilmentBIXOLON supports a range of industrial, desktop and mobile label printing solutions which can be tailored to a retailers chosen fulfilment requirements. Options include the XQ-840 Android tablet mounted 4-inch desktop label printer which allows staff to print internal labels and read barcodes through the scanner connected to the printer.

    Mobile RFID Labelling for Warehouse Management

    March 15, 2022

    Warehouses of all sizes continue to adopt radio frequency identification (RFID) technology to dramatically streamline their data capture. RFID labelling offers several advantages for warehouse management over standard barcodes including inventory control and a reduction in errors. Desktop RFID printers may limit the benefits of RFID labelling. Due to the printer being fixed or stationary, it requires warehouse staff to spend a considerable amount of time travelling to-and-from a centralized print station within a warehouse to print the necessary RFID label(s). Conveniently and efficiently print labels at the point of application with mobile RFID printers. Advantages of Mobile RFID TechnologyAddress the pain points fixed or stationary RFID printers may cause for your warehouse operations by adding mobile RFID printers. Mobile solutions further improve warehouse workflows by eliminating the wasteful walk between the items needing a label and the printing workstation. Save time and reduce the errors with less potential distractions that may arise during the walks to print labels. Additionally, recognize the labor cost savings and productivity gains ultimately resulting in a rapid ROI. With a mobile RFID printer, improve a variety of warehouse operations including: Receiving DockApply labels on incoming materials immediately as they are unloadedPrepare items faster for scanning and other automated processing systems Quality AssuranceTag items with a tracking label for indicating required testsIdentify samples with test result (pass, rework or reject) labels Cross DockingGenerate a shipping label with required cross-dock informationProcess fast-moving items accurately without delays PutawayEasily track of the batch of items between receiving and having them placed in assigned locationsLess delay in process keeps the warehouse organized against a higher chance of damage to the itemsReduce the risk of misplacing or losing items Picking Instantly generate labels on picked items to expedite the sorting of itemsEnable operators to pick multiple orders simultaneously—reducing empty travel time PackingApply labels at the point of assembly or packaging on demand Correctly identify the parts that are hard to identify and likely to be mistaken for on another BIXOLON’s Mobile RFID PrinterBIXOLON's RFID printers provide fast and reliable performance when printing and encoding RFID labels.

    5 Reasons to Go Linerless

    February 15, 2022

    For businesses which need to label products, whether it be in Retail, Hospitality, Manufacturing or Logistics, many are looking for alternative label printing methods to suit their developing needs. While traditional linered and linerless labelling offer a range of differing advantages, BIXOLON highlights the top five reasons why linerless labelling is the best media option for sustainable printing. 1. Environmental benefitsTraditional label rolls come with a siliconized backing liner which typically can’t be recycled, so end up in landfill making the overall cost of disposing a liner quite high.Linerless labels do not require backing liner so the waste from this type of labelling is minimised, which equates to less materials needing to be used to produce the media. 2. Eliminating safety hazardsIn busy environments which use high volume labelling, label backing liners can build-up on workplace floors and create a safety hazard if not disposed of properly. Linerless labels which come without the backing paper eliminate the safety hazard of liner disposal, making it a safe option within the workplace. 3. More labels per rollLinerless labels offer up to 40% more labels per roll. Choosing linerless media will not only reduce the shipping and storage costs, but also reduce the number of roll changes required between print runs. 4. No fixed label sizeUnlike traditional labels which have a fixed label length, linerless label rolls allow for labels of multiple sizes to be printed one after the other, to produce the optimum size label for each job. Variable size labels also save on materials as they produce less wastage per label. 5. Increased manufacturing efficiencyAs linerless label rolls have more labels per roll compared to traditional linered media, printed labels can be applied to packaging quicker and more densely packed linerless media rolls need to be changed less frequently. Combined with the ability to print labels of various sizes, linerless label printing allow the succession of different content to be printed more quickly, without having to switch to different label media. This in turn equates to less time being spent changing rolls, which maximises manufacturing efficiency and productivity.BIXOLON supports a range of printing solutions for linerless media.
