From its first moments at the receiving dock to its final day in a delivery truck traveling across the country, your inventory faces several potential dangers that may ultimately impact your business. For example, product shrinkage cost the retail industry $46.8 billion in 2018 alone as unmonitored stock became prey to administrative errors, employee theft, and shoplifting.

As technology continues to advance, protecting inventory visibility has become increasingly difficult, especially when it comes to large quantities of unmanaged stock. To counter the rising costs of lost/damaged/stolen inventory, Avalon Integration explores new locationing solutions with Zebra’s RFID technology, developing innovative solutions that minimize misplaced profits with enhanced visibility managed by the next-generation of data capture technology.

Instead of standard three to six-inch adhesives, continuous labels have no break, allowing you to print different sized labels without switching your media roll as you can tear correctly-sized labels right off your industrial printer. Saving over 50 percent in label costs, the Continuous Label packs all the benefits you expect from Zebra certified consumables along with extra perks that ultimately deliver a higher return of investment. 

  • Built Rugged: Following Zebra’s long-held tradition of stringent testing, Continuous Labels are meticulously crafted to resist heat, ice, and chemicals without smears or unwanted tears even after application.
  • Eco-Friendly System: Reducing your carbon footprint can be difficult, but as less paper, inks, and toners are used, the Continuous Label minimizes waste. Moreover, built with quality materials, Continual Labels reduce printhead wear, expanding the life of your printing hardware.
  • Perfected Budget: Because you can choose where your label ends, the Continuous Label eliminates misused labels as each size is fit to accommodate your print. The result? Less unused paper. Less replenishing costs. More efficient printing system.

Further, expand your investment by getting free printhead replacements for your Zebra printers when you make Zebra your exclusive label supplier through the Printhead Protection Program.

Dramatically cutting down wait-times for faster outputs, direct thermal printing is often a favorite when it comes to optimizing productivity. Without using inks and toner, direct thermal printers stand as both a fast and cost-effective solution to most industries’ printing needs. However, even this innovative solution may deteriorate over time if the proper supplies aren’t used.

Enhancing efficiency from the inside out, Avalon Integration understands the inner workings of thermal printers and the need for quality consumables, which is why we encourage companies to ask their labels three basic questions before committing to direct thermal printing.

  • Can You Handle Heat? – Unlike transfer thermal printing, direct thermal printing creates copies by printing directly on the media through heated plates pressing against heat-sensitive paper. Heat-resistance is a key element in selecting quality printing supplies for your thermal printer since weaker supplies may damage printheads, leading to premature printhead failure.
  • Can You Handle Light? – Although direct thermal printing requires fewer supplies to operate, printed media may darken over time if continuously exposed to light. To preserve data, make sure labels are stored properly and consider choosing an extra coating for longer applications.
  • Can You Handle Time? – From traffic tickets to retail receipts, data should remain legible and functional after being printed. Inadequate labels may smear, rip, or simply lose adhesiveness over time if they aren’t made with the necessary rugged materials.

If your labels answer now to any of these questions, it might be time to switch your label solution to a new dependable one.
