Barcode and QR Code Label Printing
Unlock seamless tracking and engagement with scannable labels
In today’s connected world, barcodes and QR codes are essential for tracking products, sharing information and engaging customers.
At Kingfisher Labels, our barcode and QR code label printing service delivers crisp, accurate and durable labels that integrate seamlessly with your systems and campaigns.
What are barcode and QR code labels?
Barcode and QR code labels are labels that feature machine‑readable codes that can be scanned using smartphones, barcode readers or other devices. These codes can store a wide range of information, from product identifiers and serial numbers to website URLs and promotional messages.
Barcodes are one‑dimensional codes that use a series of parallel lines and spaces to represent data. QR codes are two‑dimensional codes that can store much more information and can be scanned from any angle.
Why choose barcode and QR code labels?
Streamline inventory management and logistics.
Barcode and QR code labels make it easy to track products through your supply chain, from manufacturing to distribution to retail. Simply scan the code to update inventory levels, track shipments, and manage returns.
Enhance product information and traceability.
QR codes can link directly to product pages, manuals, videos, customer reviews or other online content. This allows you to provide customers with more information than you could fit on the label itself, and to track product provenance and authenticity.
Engage customers with interactive experiences.
QR codes can be used to launch mobile apps, enter competitions, access exclusive content, redeem coupons or connect with your brand on social media. This turns your labels into a gateway for interactive experiences that drive engagement and loyalty.
Improve data accuracy and efficiency.
Scanning barcodes and QR codes is faster and more accurate than manual data entry, reducing the risk of errors and freeing up staff to focus on more valuable tasks. This can significantly improve efficiency in your warehouse, retail store or office.
Comply with industry regulations.
Many industries require products to be labelled with barcodes or QR codes for traceability, safety or regulatory compliance. Our barcode and QR code label printing service ensures that your labels meet all relevant standards and requirements.

Cost‑effective barcode and QR code solutions
Barcode and QR code label printing can be surprisingly affordable, especially when you partner with an experienced provider who understands how to optimise the process. We’ll help you choose the right materials, print methods and data setup to minimise your costs and maximise your results.
For smaller quantities or multiple code variations, digital printing offers a flexible and economical solution. For larger, recurring orders, flexographic printing can drive down your unit costs.
Our barcode and QR code label printing capabilities
High‑resolution printing for scannability
We use advanced digital and flexographic presses to ensure that your barcodes and QR codes are printed with exceptional clarity and precision. This guarantees reliable scanning, even at small sizes and high speeds.
Variable data printing for unique codes
Our variable data printing capabilities allow you to generate unique serial numbers, batch codes or QR codes for every label in a run. This is essential for tracking individual items, personalising products and enhancing security.
Wide range of materials and adhesives
From durable films for industrial applications to premium papers for retail products, we offer a wide range of label materials and adhesives to suit your specific needs. We’ll help you choose the right combination for performance, appearance and budget.
Compliance with industry standards
We understand the importance of meeting industry standards for barcode and QR code printing. We use verified barcode fonts and follow best practices for code size, quiet zones and print contrast to ensure your labels are compliant and scannable.
Protective finishes
To protect your barcodes and QR codes from scratching, smudging or fading, we offer a range of protective laminates and varnishes. These also enhance the overall appearance of your labels, adding a touch of gloss, matt or satin.

Cost-effective for your business
Traditional printing methods hide costs in setup fees, minimum quantities, and wasted inventory. Digital printing eliminates these hidden expenses. You pay for the labels you actually need—no more, no less. No plate costs. No setup fees. No pressure to order thousands of labels just to hit a price break.
For businesses managing multiple SKUs, the savings multiply. Instead of paying separate setup costs for each product variation, digital printing lets us combine multiple designs into a single efficient production run. Your product line might have 10 different flavours, but you only pay for one setup.

The barcode and QR code label printing process
Project consultation and data setup
We start by understanding your goals, data sources and label requirements. We’ll then help you set up your data files and choose the right label materials, adhesives and finishes.
Artwork design and integration
You can supply finished artwork, or our design team can create a custom label design that incorporates your barcodes and QR codes. We’ll ensure that all codes are correctly formatted, positioned and sized for optimal scannability.
Printing and verification
Using our advanced digital and flexographic presses, we print your labels and verify the accuracy and scannability of every barcode and QR code. We can also provide sample labels for you to test on your equipment and processes before full production.
Finishing and delivery
Once printed and verified, your labels are finished with any chosen laminates or varnishes, then die‑cut to size and shape. We’ll then pack and ship your labels so they arrive ready to apply.
