What Are They?
Clear barcode labels are transparent labels with printed barcodes. They are designed to be nearly invisible on the surface, with only the barcode visible.

- Made from polypropylene, our transparent labels are durable and resistant to moisture and smudging.
- Clear barcode labels use a strong adhesive that stays in place for a long time.
- These labels are designed to work with various barcode scanners and printers.
Best Uses
Custom clear barcode labels are best used when you need an aesthetic solution for your barcode labels. Here are some of the best uses of clear barcode labels:
- Product packaging: When you need to use a barcode but don’t want to detract from your product’s design. Luxury and high-end products commonly rely on transparent barcode labels for this purpose.
- Asset tracking: These labels are a great choice for tagging and tracking your company’s assets. They blend in with the surface of your assets while also providing easy tracking.
- Medical equipment: The healthcare industry relies on transparent barcode labels for their medical equipment. This allows the organization to track the use and location of medical equipment with discreet labels.
- Transparent packaging: Another common way that these custom labels are used is on transparent packaging. Clear barcode labels are readable without covering up the contents of the package.
When Not to Use
While clear barcode labels are very versatile, there are situations where they are not the best choice. Here are some scenarios when you might want to use a different type of barcode label:
- Low-contrast backgrounds: Because barcode scanners rely on contrast to read the barcode, these labels are difficult to scan on a dark or patterned surface with low contrast.
- Regulatory compliance: In certain settings, such as food, pharmaceutical, or industrial settings, you may need to follow safety requirements that mandate visible labels. These labels may not work in these cases, especially in low-light conditions.
- Budget concerns: These labels often cost more than typical opaque labels. If you’re looking to stick to a budget, you may want to use standard labels instead of clear barcode labels.
- High-glare surfaces: On glossy or reflective surfaces, clear labels may be difficult to scan. Opaque labels will likely work better.
Advantages Of Clear Barcode Labels
Some of the top benefits of using clear barcode labels include:
- Aesthetic appeal: Clear barcode labels offer minimal visual impact while still being functional. This keeps the design of your product packaging intact.
- Discreet labeling: Because they blend with the surface, these labels offer a discreet, yet functional solution.
- Durability: These labels are made from durable materials that last for a long time without peeling or fading.
