The Power of Variable Data
In today's fast-paced industrial world, the ability to track, identify, and manage assets efficiently is crucial. Also, product traceability is an increasingly common mandate in quality standards such as ISO 13485:2016. At Cubbison, we understand these needs and offer a range of variable data options for our nameplates and labels. Let's explore how these features can enhance your operations:
Serial Numbers: The Basics of Identification
Serial numbers are the foundation of asset tracking. We can print sequential or custom serial numbers on your nameplates, allowing for:
- Easy inventory management
- Simplified warranty tracking
- Quick identification of individual items

We offer a variety of barcode types to suit your needs:
- 1D Barcodes: Including Code 39, Code 128, and UPC

Barcodes enable:
- Rapid scanning and data entry
- Reduced human error in tracking

Combining Variable Data Types
For maximum utility, we can combine multiple types of variable data on a single nameplate, such as:
- Serial number + QR code
- Barcode + date code
- Custom sequence + military spec barcode
