Custom Barcode Labels & Serial Stickers
SKU: HL006
Custom barcode labels and serial number stickers are used when brands, warehouses, electronics suppliers, logistics teams, and packaging buyers need readable barcodes, QR codes, serial numbers, asset IDs, warranty labels, carton labels, or batch tracking labels.
Before production, barcode label projects should confirm code type, data file format, label size, quiet zone, barcode contrast, material, adhesive, roll direction, scanner type, and application surface.

Is This Direction Right for Your Project?
Good Candidates for Review
Products with a defined application surface, service environment, print data and label-converting requirement.
Review Another Direction When Needed
Unknown surfaces, unverified outdoor or chemical exposure, or projects requiring guaranteed adhesion without substrate testing.
Material, Performance and Claim Boundaries
No material, environmental, food-contact, barrier, load, adhesion or route performance is assumed from the product name alone. The selected construction, supplier evidence, sample, test scope and destination requirements must be confirmed for the project.
Artwork, Sampling and Production Approval
- Define the pack: Send product, size, weight, orientation, artwork, quantity, packing and destination.
- Confirm the direction: Review structure, materials, print, finish and evidence requirements.
- Approve files: Confirm dieline, artwork placement, copy, color and production notes.
- Approve the sample: Check fit, assembly, appearance, packing and the agreed test scope.
- Release production: Confirm quotation, approved references, QC points, packing and shipment.
Quality and Packing Checks
- Dimensions, fit, orientation and assembly against the approved sample
- Material, structure, print, color and finish against approved references
- Edges, folds, seams, locks, adhesive or retention features where applicable
- Product loading, removal, pack-out and handling workflow
- Unit packing, carton count, pallet direction and route protection
- Required documents and agreed evidence scope before shipment
What to Send for an RFQ
- Product dimensions, weight, photos or drawings
- Required structure, use, opening, loading and packing workflow
- Material, print, finish, insert, window or accessory direction
- Artwork files and any market, evidence or test requirements
- Quantity, unit packing, carton or pallet expectations
- Destination, schedule target and sample approval needs
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I send my barcode or serial number data?
If you need a simple sequence, such as 0001 to 5000, you can send the starting number, ending number, prefix, suffix, and required code type.
Which barcode formats can you print?
Common formats include Code 128, Code 39, UPC-A, EAN-13, QR Code, Data Matrix, batch codes, asset IDs, and custom alphanumeric serial numbers.
How do I choose the right material and adhesive for barcode labels?
Material and adhesive should be selected based on the final surface, handling condition, storage environment, and barcode durability needs.
Should barcode labels be supplied on rolls or sheets?
Roll labels are usually better for dispensers, desktop printers, or automatic labeling machines. Sheet labels may be suitable for manual application, small batches, or office use.
Can barcode labels be waterproof, oil-resistant, or freezer-safe?
Yes, selected BOPP, PET, lamination, varnish, or adhesive options can help improve moisture, oil, abrasion, or low-temperature performance.
Can I print a full-color logo next to the barcode?
Yes. A full-color logo, product name, warning text, or brand graphic can be printed together with the barcode or serial number when the layout allows enough space.
Can barcode labels be made for warehouse or electronics tracking?
Yes. Barcode labels can be made for warehouse cartons, pallet tags, electronics serial numbers, warranty labels, asset tags, equipment labels, and inventory tracking.
How do you reduce duplicate or missing serial numbers?
We recommend checking the data file before proofing, confirming the sequence logic, and approving a sample or digital proof before mass production.
What should be checked before approving barcode label samples?
Before approving samples, check barcode size, quiet zone, print contrast, data accuracy, material, adhesive, roll direction, label gap, and actual scan readability.
What information do you need for a quote?
Please send label size, code type, material, adhesive type, data file or sequence range, printing color count, roll core size, roll direction, order quantity, and delivery country.
