What is required to print product price tags?

The main contents of a price tag generally include: product number, product name, place of origin, specifications, brand, grade, pricing unit, price, etc.
Product price tags are important tools used in commercial activities to identify product prices and related information. It not only helps consumers quickly understand product prices, but also provides other important information such as product specifications, place of origin, shelf life, etc.
Red labels are used for products priced by the state, blue labels are used for products priced by the state, and green labels are used for products priced by the market to facilitate public supervision and inspection. The filling, transformation, and destruction of price tags must be the responsibility of a dedicated or part-time price officer in the store. The price tag must be reviewed and signed by the store price officer before it can be executed, and other personnel have no right to change it.
Printing product price labels requires preparation and standardization in the following aspects:
1. Hardware equipment
Label printer: Choosing a suitable printer is key. Common choices include desktop label printers (such as HanYin, PuTie, etc.), which can quickly and efficiently print price labels. For scenarios that require high-frequency printing, industrial grade printers with label peelers can be chosen.
Printing consumables: Special label paper and carbon tape (if it is a thermal transfer printer) need to be prepared. The size and material of label paper should be selected according to actual needs, such as waterproof, high temperature resistance, and other characteristics.
2. Software tools
Label design software: Professional label design software such as BarTender can be used to design price label templates. These software support custom label size, layout, content, and can also insert barcodes, QR codes, and more.
Print management software: Some software supports integrating label printing with inventory management systems, facilitating real-time updates of price and inventory information.
3. Label content specification
Necessary information: The price tag should include basic information such as product name, specifications, price, barcode, etc. For special products such as food, it is also necessary to indicate the place of origin, shelf life, etc.
Format and layout: Prices should be prominently displayed, usually using larger fonts. The product name and specifications should be clear and readable.
4. Printing and management process
Printing process: After creating a template using label design software, import the data and print it. For batch printing, the software's batch processing function can be utilized.
Management standards: There should be strict management processes for the printing and use of price tags. Labels should be printed and replaced by dedicated personnel to ensure accurate information. Expired or incorrect labels should be promptly destroyed.
5. Compliance requirements
Compliance of price tags: Price tags must comply with the requirements of local price management departments and must not be changed or altered without authorization.
Special industry requirements: For industries such as food and pharmaceuticals, price labels must also comply with relevant regulations, such as indicating allergen information.
Through the above preparation and standardization, product price labels can be printed efficiently and accurately, while ensuring compliance with relevant regulations and management requirements.
