Variable data labels are produced with information that changes from item to item—such as sizes, SKUs, pricing, or batch codes. This flexibility makes them ideal for retail settings where each product requires its own unique details.
Barcodes complement this by encoding data in a scannable format. Whether applied to hangtags, stickers, packaging, or care labels, barcodes hold essential information like product identifiers, prices, or logistical details, making them a central component of modern retail operations.
