Characteristics of barcode labels

All barcode labels have are uniqueness. The same kind of specifications products should correspond to the same product codes. The same kind but different specifications product correspond to the different codes. According to the different nature of product, such as: weight, packing, specifications, smell, color，shape and so on. Barcode can give products the different commodity code.

  And it is permanent. When the code has been assigned, it will no longer change, and lifelong. If a product is no longer produced, the corresponding product code should only be shelved, can’t be reused on other commodities. Barcode is no meaning. In order to ensure that the code has sufficient capacity to accommodate product’s frequent replacement needs, use the no meaning sequence code is the best choice.

  In fact, on a global scale, the barcode scanning has used over hundreds millions of time everyday. Its scope of application is also involved in various fields and industries, including logistics, warehousing, libraries, banks, pos cash register system, health care, retail merchandise, clothing, food services, and high-tech electronic products and so on. It still be continued used in many new projects everyday. As the market continues to develop, we believe that barcode labels will promote us to experience a better quality of life and can save more valuable time.

  Such as classification of goods in the logistics industry, distribution of location, location inquiries, in/out location information, stocktaking, product inquiry, if to do these things by human, it is not only waste of time, manual power, material and financial resources, often accompanied by a very large error rate, brought a lot of trouble to most businesses and even the self-development of the logistics industry, so if without barcode, logistics process will be how disorganized? Its consequences tend to be disastrous.

  Use barcode labels are the best way to do a precision management.

Fashion designing career

Fashion designing has become a much sought after career in recent years. With people’s living style getting improved, people take better care about fashionable and stylish clothings. That means the person who have a flair for style and are up-to-date with new trends are fit to become fashion designers. However a lot of people do not know that fashion designing is not restricted to just creating new clothes&clothes accessories of brand hangtags, fabric labels. Rather, it is a large industry which offers a variety of careers.

In the past, people bought clothes just to cover their bodies. Nowadays, people wear clothes to flaunt their attitude and personality. No matter you are guys or girls, every person is more concerned about the latest trends and brand of their clothes, rather than the price tag or brand fabric labels. Believe that there is no person who wondered how much effort goes into creating one single set of garment? Everyone believes that clothes are created by fashion designers, actually the reality is that every garment is the result of efforts put in by many other people. This knowledge opens the door to the different career opportunities who can opt for in the fashion world. And this leads to fashion designing become more and more popular in recent times.

Each fashion company needs the person who is specialists in certain areas to achieve success. Fashion designing careers include three aspects: the creative field, technical field and business field. It is in the combined effort of all the three departments that the success of a fashion company lies.

Designer can create new collections only after knowing the requirements of the public. So this research is very important for the project to proceed. Through the research, you can know people prefer which clothing style including brand hangtags, fabric labels styles.

A brief introduction for jewelry fairs

Jewelry fair is an important platform for the people in the industry to communicate and exchange information. The most prestigious jewelry fairs so far are Hong Kong International Jewelry and Gem fair, America JA international jewelry fair and Switzerland Basel international jewelry fair. These three trade fairs are regarded as big three in the world. In Mainland China, the three fairs are Shanghai, Beijing and Shenzhen Jewelry fairs. In terms of development level, there is a long way for domestic jewelry cards sponsors and exhibitors to go.

September is peak season for the jewelry trades thus it comes as no surprise that tens of thousands of professional jewelry buyers flock to the September Hong Kong Jewelry & Gem Fair to do business. The September Fair celebrates 30 years of serving the world’s jewelry industry this year, a laudable triumph for a show that started humbly in a hotel ballroom in Hong Kong with 100 exhibitors. The manufacturers which produce jewelry cards can also take part in it. With the host city of Hong Kong being a duty-free port, there are no duties or restrictions imposed on precious jewelry products or materials. This has proven to be advantageous for international jewelries; it encourages worldwide trade with the region and makes the prices of goods more competitive.

Now recognized as the world’s No. 1 business-to-business marketplace for the gem and jewelry sector, the September Fair gathers more than 51,000 buyers and more than 3,500 exhibitors from around the world in two world-class venues:  the Asia World-Expo (AWE) and the Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre (HKCEC). The Fair at Asia-World Expo (AWE) will feature around 1,600 exhibitors from the globe. They will exhibit jewelry raw materials, including loose diamonds, gemstones, pearls, and packaging, tools & equipment, jewelry cards.

Nonferrous metals

Non-ferrous metals are metals which do not include iron. Generally there are two groups of metals: ferrous and non-ferrous. Ferrous metals include iron, for example carbon steel, stainless steel (both alloy and mixtures of metals) and wrought iron. While non-ferrous metals don’t include iron, for example aluminium, brass, copper (you can remember them as ABC) and titanium. You can also get non-ferrous metals as alloys such as brass is an alloy of copper and zinc. And you can see many metal labels which are made of alloy.

Nonferrous metals are specified for structural applications requiring reduced weight, higher strength, nonmagnetic properties, higher melting points, or resistance to chemical and atmospheric corrosion. They are also specified for electrical and electronic applications. As the specified electrical application, the nonferrous metals smelting process is very complex.

What’s semlting? Smelting is a form of extractive metallurgy; it main use to produce pure metal from its ore. This includes production of silver, iron, copper and other base metals from their ores. In our daily life life, you can find many silver, iron and copper metal labels on bags, clothings, shoes etc.. Smelting uses heat and a chemical reducing agent to decompose the ore, driving off other elements as gasses or slag and leaving just the metal behind. The reducing agent is commonly a source of carbon such as coke, or in earlier times charcoal. The carbon removes oxygen from the ore, leaving behind elemental metal. The carbon is thus oxidized in two stages, producing first carbon monoxide and then carbon dioxide. As most ores are impure, it is often necessary to use flux, such as limestone, to remove the accompanying rock gangue as slag.

Smelting involves more than just melting the metal out of its ore. Most ores are a chemical compound of the metal with other elements, such as oxygen or oxide, sulfur or sulfide, or carbon and oxygen together. In order to produce pure metal, these compounds have to undergo a chemical reaction. Therefore smelting is consist of using suitable reducing substances which will combine with those oxidizing elements to free the metal. After those oxidizing elements are released and refined, the rest are pure metals which can make products such as metal labels, machines…

Some relevant knowledge about barcode labels

Barcode software is the software management system, which uses the technology of software and is based on the barcode automatic recognizing technology. Its basis is the utilizing of sticker label. In the process of using the barcode software to scan the barcode number on the barcode labels, the user can effectively realize the tracking and retrospection. On the barcode labels, there is detailed information about the products which can express the recent data completely. These forms are designed and drew up by the user and developer. Therefore, the users can build the barcode easily. The barcode software allows you expressing the product information by barcode to build the barcode labels.

The barcodes are series of lines with different width and space, which are used for distinguishing, tracking and controlling the stock. The most important advantage is to ensure the safety. Using the barcode labels and barcode software can save the time of the staffs and increase the efficiency. They have been already utilized in all kinds of industries which include the small companies and big companies. Generally, when the companies develop into a suitable period, they will put the barcode software management into effect.

Some companies do not know how to choose the suitable barcode printer. As for this problem, it is easy to solve. You just need to know which kind of barcode labels you require and the quantity of the barcode labels. Choosing the suitable barcode printer should be according to the patterns of your labels. The heat transfer labels or the temperature-sensitive labels? The pictures on the heat transfer labels are usually durable. But for the temperature-sensitive labels, they are suitable for short-time demanders. When the users need huge quantity of the labels, you could choose the production barcode printers.

From the garment accessories to the brands

With the rapid change of the fashion area, the garment accessories have been the most important part. There are even someone said that they are the soul and the bone of the garment. Therefore, to use the garment accessories on the garment skillfully will express the wisdom and feeling of the designers adequately. At the same time, they also express the faddish features and unique characters. The fabric labels, printed labels, hangtags, seal tags, buttons, metal labels etc play a decisive role in the garment design. They are related tightly with the garment.

The development of history proofs that the real development of one industry need the push of a series of well-known brands. The construction of brand is not only the needs of competitive market but also the requirements of the self-construction and the development of industry. In China, compared with garment industry, the accessories, such as hangtag, seal tag, fabric label, and printed label are still in marginal industry. Affected by this marginal idea, the accessory industry has been restricted in a certain extent, in which the most obvious reflection is the neglecting of brands.

Beyond seas, there are many brands in the accessory industry has made a great breakthrough in the building of brands. In Europe, although the scale of the companies is not large, the rich patterns, the outstanding designs, the control of the details and the deep understand of the accessory products are all missing in the domestic. Additionally, in Italy，there are many button, fabric label, and hangtags companies designing together with the garment companies. However, there are few garment accessory companies can do like that in our country. The domestic garment accessory company should learn from the companies in Europe. At the same time, they need develop their distinguishing feature to build excellent national brands.

The five principles of apparel design

One: unified-The unified (Unity), also known as the “consistent”, similar to reconcile significance. Design clothing, often as a means to reconcile, to achieve unity of purpose. Clothing on the part of good design, with some elements – material, color, lines and other arrangements between part and whole, there should be consistency. If these factors change too much, the destruction of a consistent effect. To form a unified most commonly used method is to repeat, such as repeated using the same colors, lines, etc., can cause uniform characteristics. From the main fabric to contrast fabric even to the small fabric labels should be unified in good design apparel.

Second, increased-Heavier (Emphasis) which is “stressed” or “focus on design. The design focus on the principle of unity, but the result of too uniform, tend to make the design tends to be dull, it is best to make a part of the special striking to cause the center of interest in the design. This focus on the design, use of color control (such as the Department of black dress red belt), the mix of material (together with the fur collar woolen coat), in order to show the brand to customer, the design might use special fabric labelsto show it.

Third, the balance-Balance (Balance) design has a stable, still feeling that is in line with the principle of balance. Balance separable symmetric and asymmetric balance two. The former is based on the center of the body, the imaginary line, and the left and right parts identical. This style of clothing, upright and solemn feeling, but more dull. The latter is a feeling of balance, which is not part of the design of clothes around the same, but the smooth feeling, often reach the goal to slash design (such as the cheongsam breast). I feel this design is elegant, supple. In addition, it should also be noted clothing upper and lower body balance and not allow too top-heavy or light feeling under the weight on.

Fourth, the proportion-Proportion (Proportion) refers to the size of the allocation between the various parts of clothing, it seems desirable and appropriate, such as pockets of clothing and body size relationship of the width of the collar should be appropriate. The proportion of the “golden section”, mostly applies to clothes design. In addition, the proportion of the size of the accessories (like: hangtags, fabric labels, logos), attachments, should be attention.

Fifth. Rhythm-Rhythm (Rhythm) refers to the law repeatedly, and a soft dynamic. Color from deep and shallow shape by large and small gradient rhythm, lines, colors, with duplicate repeated rhythmic regularity, as well as clothing and streamers flowing rhythm, are designed on common practices

Jewelry Cards: A Finishing Touch for Your Luxurious Jewelry

Just like other ordinary printing staffs, barcode labels are also manufactured by printer, however, they are printed in a more sophisticated and strict way. In general, firstly clients send their printed information in excel form, barcode manufacturers import the information in barcode library and then print barcode information as the requirement of clients.

Fabric Labels: Inexpensively Advertising Your Apparels

In the past, people only pay attention to clothes for their style, material, quality, color, etc, but with little attention to fabric labels sewed on. Actually customers don’t have a basic understanding of fabric labels. They only know that it is a tiny label showing relevant information like material, size, brand or something else. But now, fabric labels are considered as the most promising product which can reinforce the brand identity and promote marketing programs. Furthermore, as the market becomes more and more competitive, it is quite vital to elevate brands by improving fabric labels’ technique, pattern, design and color combination.

Two types of fabric labels

There are two kinds of fabric labels in the garment accessory market. They are selvage fabric labels and die cutting fabric labels. Others may include size labels, main labels, waist labels, which are distinguished according to different usages. If you are a professional garment manufacturer, you may know what affect the price of fabric labels. The price of them may be drafted according to their material, the quantity of color, the specification, the quantity of labels, and technology. The following passages are the detail information of selvage labels and die cutting labels.

The selvage fabric labels are that they are woven for one time according to the necessary width. This technology avoids many disadvantages which may be made by die cutting. However, if using this technology, the quantity of production is small. This technology is widely utilized in high standard garment, such as fashionable dress，and suit. Most Japanese garment manufacturers love this for the reason that this kind of fabric labels are all with high quality compared with others. The material of this kind of labels is usual satin, but the background of satin is hard to express. To solve this problem, you can use dyeing and plating.

The die cutting fabric labels are that they are woven like a cloth in the professional machine and then cut into different size. Generally, the picture and color on the labels are mainly expressed by the yarn. Because the common machine has restriction for the types of yarn, so the colors are restricted accordingly. In general, the colors of fabric labels are eight as most including the background. Except the wash care and size labels, most labels use two-side labels. As the yarn expresses the picture, there must be some differences between design and actual sample. Therefore, please make samples to confirm before bulk production.

Metal labels’ application is very extensive

Metal labels mainly used in automobiles, home appliances, mobile phone, toys, electronics, jewelry, gifts, souvenirs, jewelry, crystal, furniture, decorations, handicrafts, leather goods, watches, jewelry, glasses, and a variety of product labels and trademarks, its application is very extensive，Most of important, the function of metal labels will be perfectly for many years, maintaining their original good looks under a broad variety of challenging environment, including long term outdoor exposure in the high temperature, abrasion, salt spray and most chemicals.

Many things need the match of color, such as a painting, if it have no color foil, then it is not a complete works. Metal labels actually are same as it, its surface color according to the different requirement. However, simple and colorful and beautiful are not a substitute for its use. Color is not only decorative, more functional. Their unification will be called as the color of the scientific and practical application. In different areas, metal labels required colors are not the same, in special environment to make logical choice, need to have the relevant experience and a certain degree of innovation. For example, we typically choose red for visible things, the reason is that people are most sensitive on this color, and it also has strong penetration and transmission capacity. To be noble and a grade thing typically choose the golden, golden things make people feel honorable and rich. At the same time, golden things will meet people’s vanity. Similarly, in the military, metal plate often use green color, its purpose lies in the masking enemy sight and protect the role of target.

Metal labels not only have stress in the application and the color, also is an art in the process, it is made of high quality aluminum, copper, stainless steel, stainless steel iron, PVC, PET, PC, plastics and other materials, after pre-treatment drawing, die casting, high light, electroplating, anodizing, heap gold, printing, corrosion, grinding flower, dripping glue, so that elegant productshighlight corporate image and cultural atmosphere

Deflating the bubbly: The global economy is in recession

NEW Year’s Eve may be a rather sober affair this year. Capping off a season of bad news, undoubtedly jewelry is no exception to it and champagne is the latest casualty of the recession, with sales on the decline over the past few months. After all, it’s hard to make a toast when there is little to celebrate. The drop in demand for champagne keeps with the general trend of luxury good sales, which appear to be falling off of a cliff and have an impact on those who get involved in manufacturing jewelry cards. Just last week, the Wall Street Journal reported:

Luxury goods, once considered immune from economic turmoil, were hardest hit, with sales falling 21.2%, compared with a jump of 7.5% a year ago, when the economy had just begun to sputter. Including jewelry sales, the luxury sector plunged by a whopping 34.5%. Inevitably, those jewelry card suppliers are hit tremendously for they offer a wide range of jewelry cards but with little market demand.

While some remain committed to preserving the lifestyle of the rich and famous, jewelry, once standing for luxury and elegance, now has to depreciate to cater for market demand. Besides, the depreciation of jewelry will seriously affect jewelry cards in bulk production and future prospect. But decadence largely seems to have fallen out of favour due to pragmatic reasons and a social stigma now attached to gross consumerism. The CEOs of Detroit’s carmakers learned this the hard way after incurring public ire for flying private jets to beg for financial assistance. The wife of former Lehman Brothers CEO Richard Fuld is now stealth shopping, having extravagant purchases placed in unmarked bags in an attempt to avoid attention. Excess is out; frugality is chic; and the myth that luxury goods are recession-proof is officially debunked.

The usages of barcode labels in all kinds of industries

Barcode labels are made up of some black and white strips which are ranked according to regular rules to express a couple of information. The common barcode labels can identify the original country, manufacturer, the name of product, and the data of producing, classification etc. Therefore, in the circulation of goods, the management of books, the management of post, the bank system, barcode labels are been widely used. The usage of them will be developed in the future. In order to make them circular freely in the world, no matter the design, production or the using, the companies must follow the rules of the management of barcode labels.

The earliest product with barcode labels is gum. The technology of barcode labels appears in the twentieth century in the laboratory of Westinghouse. An eccentric inventor named John Kermode wanted to make the receipt of post checked automatically. Then he came up the idea to create the barcode labels. This fresh idea was a new application of the electronic technologies. His idea is to make a barcode mark which included the address of addressee like the postal code today on the envelope.

With the development of economy and technology, the barcode labels are changed a lot. They are not the marks on the envelopes any more and become the necessaries in many industries. Their usages are not only in the post but also in other fields. For example, in the logistics, the identification of goods, the distribution of location, the information of exiting and entering the storehouse, the query of the products all need barcode labels. They have saved much time and money for the logistics companies and avoid a large number of mistakes which people may make usually.

The recognition principle of barcode

Barcode is constitute by plurality of black bars and blank, the width of black bars are different, and these bars arranged in encoding rules for expression a group of information, graphics and identifier. It usually appears in our lives as barcode labels.

A common barcode is composed by black stripes (referred as articles) and white bars(referred as blank) which have a great difference in reflectance. The producing country of items, maker, product’s name, date of production, book CLC, mail starting and ending location, category or other information can be marked by it. So it has a wide range of applications in commodity circulation, library management, postal management, banking system and so on.

May be barcode labels seems very simple just like many black lines printed on a paper, but the recognition principle of barcode is not simple. The barcode need to be complied according to certain rules so that can be change into meaningful information. In order to get the information, it is need two steeps, scanning and decoding.

 As white object can reflect the various wavelengths of visible light, the black object can absorbs various wavelengths of various wavelengths, when the light source send out light, reflected on the barcode, the light incident into the barcode scanner’s photoelectric conversion device, and according the different strength of the reflected light signal, barcode can be converted into a corresponding electrical signal.

 Because the widths of articles and blank are different, the electrical signal corresponding duration length also different.

 Then the digital electric signal 0,1 and numbers of bar and blank discriminated by measuring pulse of decoder, by measuring the duration of 0,1 to discriminate the width of bars and blank.

 According the corresponding coding rules, with data processing and management, detailed information of item could be identified. That is the recognition principle inside barcode labels.

Barcode labels make life more convenient

      Barcode labels is a business management information and modernization of technical means. Store operation and management of the use of barcode technology has brought many benefits to the daily lives of consumers, and improve the shopping environment, make consumers shopping more convenient; and the commodity prices declined due to lower store operating costs; in  view of the bar code scanning automatic billing methods, it also  shorten the consumers queuing settlement time.

       Barcode labels is an important part of ANNC, it is mainly used for bar code identification on retail goods, non-retail goods and logistics unit. The main types of barcode labels: EAN-13/8 UPC-A / E ITF 14 EAN / UCC 128 barcode contains the country code, including vendor identification code on retail goods, non-retail goods, logistics unit, location, assets and services in a globally unique identifier code. Coding and symbols of trade items, retail, purchasing, inventory management, automatic replenishment, sales analysis and other operations automation. EAN just a product number, including country or region number, membership number, Product Code and detection code.

       China’s adoption of international common commodity code and bar code identification system, the popularization and application of barcode establish our merchandise identification system. 1, retail goods at retail merchandise through POS scanning settlement. Its bar code identification by the Global Trade Item Number (GTIN) and its corresponding bar code symbol. Retail product bar code identification EAN / UPC bar code. 2, non-retail goods is not for distribution, warehousing, or wholesale operations through POS scanning settlement goods. Identification code by the Global Trade Item Number (GTIN) and its corresponding bar code symbol. Non-retail product bar code symbol ITF-14 barcode or UCC/EAN-128 bar code, EAN / UPC barcode labels. 3, logistics unit barcode temporary combination packaging is established in order to facilitate the transportation or storage, tracking and management of the individual need to be in the supply chain. Link by scanning the bar code label on each logistic unit, logistics and information flow, and can track the physical movement of each logistics unit. The encoding of the logistics unit is identified using the Serial Shipping Container Code (SSCC-18).

The design bottleneck restrict the development of garments industry in china

   China Garment Industry Association recently announced the  list of “Top 100 Chinese apparel industry enterprise” in 2012, the contest since 1995, has been successfully held for 17 sessions. In these 17 years, the number of excellent local garment enterprises continue to grow, and grow that they dominate the market through the mode of clothing and to join the association gradually become the benchmark enterprises to lead the development of the industry.

   As the world’s largest apparel consuming countries which also bring more business opportunity to the garments fabric labelsdevelopment, the huge population base of China’s 1.3 billion population, gave birth to the fertile ground for the development of the domestic apparel industry. In recent years, many apparel brands through innovative models of development, and e-commerce channels  quickly seize the market. But while local brands growing, China’s huge consumer market of clothing also attracted many international clothing brand continuous influx, the domestic clothing brand design concept is still a wide gap between international brands, a breakthrough which design bottlenecks have to achieve technological innovation and new material upgrades have become China’s garment industry problems to be solved. There are also a design gap between the fabric labels from china mainland and western world.

   With the continuous development of China’s social and economic demand ,the people for the clothing consumption has moved from the basic survival needs of the “wrap up warm” to wear beautiful “,” put “boutique consumer demand changes.

Bernard Silver joined together with fellow graduate student Norman Joseph Woodland to work on a solution. Woodland’s first idea was to use ultraviolet light sensitive ink. The team built a working prototype but decided that the system was too unstable and expensive. They went back to the drawing board.  On October 20, 1949, Woodland and Silver filed their patent application for the “Classifying Apparatus and Method”, describing their invention as “article classification…through the medium of identifying patterns”.

The first company to produce bar code equipment for retail trade use (using UGPIC) was an American company Monarch Marking in 1970, and for industrial use, the British company Plessey Telecommunications was also first in 1970. UGPIC evolved into the Universal Product Code, which is still used in the United States. George J. Laurer is considered the inventor of U.P.C. or Uniform Product Code, which was invented in 1973. In June of 1974, the first U.P.C. scanner was installed at a Marsh’s supermarket in Troy, Ohio. That means the invention of barcode step a big forward.
