Consumables

Consumables for AIDC Products


Effective data capture relies as much on the quality of consumables as it does on the hardware itself. For businesses utilizing Autopack’s AIDC (Automatic Identification and Data Capture) solutions, selecting the right barcode labels, RFID tags, and thermal ribbons is critical to ensuring operational uptime. Whether you are tracking high-value assets with UHF tags or printing shipping labels that must survive friction, our consumables are engineered for high-performance scanning and long-term durability.

Types of Autopack Consumables

1. Barcode Labels

Plain Paper Labels: Great for shipping cartons and standard retail use. They are cost-effective and produce sharp, readable barcodes.

Synthetic Labels: Built for tough environments. These resist water, oil, and tears, making them perfect for industrial parts or frozen goods.

No matter the surface, our labels stick securely and stay readable. We can customize sizes to fit your specific product requirements perfectly!


2. RFID Labels (Smart Tags)

Move beyond standard barcodes with our RFID solutions. These smart labels allow you to track inventory wirelessly without needing a direct line of sight.

They are perfect for automating your warehouse and supply chain. By using our RFID tags, you speed up data collection and reduce manual errors, giving you total visibility over your stock.


3. Thermal Transfer Ribbons

Using the right ribbon protects your printhead and ensures your label lasts. We offer three main types to suit your needs:

  • Wax: The economical choice for standard paper labels.
  • Wax/Resin: Offers better durability against smudges and scratches.

  • Resin: The toughest option for synthetic labels exposed to chemicals or extreme heat.

Barcode vs RFID

Feature/Solution Autopack RFID Solutions Barcode Scanning
Data Capture Automated, real-time, bulk reading Manual, one-by-one, line-of-sight required
Line of Sight Not required Required
Read Speed Very high (hundreds of items simultaneously) Low (single item at a time)
Accuracy High (up to 98-99%) Moderate (prone to human error)
Inventory Management Dynamic, precise, real-time updates Static, periodic, labor-intensive
Labor Efficiency Extremely high (automation) Low (manual scanning and data entry)
Error Rate Very low (automated) Moderate to High (manual processes)
Durability Tags highly durable, resistant to environment Barcodes can be easily damaged, smudged
Traceability Excellent, end-to-end, granular Good, but often limited to scanning points
Data Storage High (can store more info) Low (limited to numeric/alphanumeric code)
Security Features Enhanced with unique IDs, anti-tamper options Limited to visual inspection
Scalability High (easily scalable to large operations) Moderate (scaling requires more manual effort)
Cost of Ownership Moderate to High (initial investment, lower ongoing) Low (initial investment, higher ongoing labor)
