Modern portable label printers are fully capable of producing high-quality, scannable barcodes for retail, inventory, and asset tracking.

Keys to Professional Portable Barcodes

Success depends on three factors aligning:

  1. Printer Resolution: The portable printer must have sufficient dots per inch (DPI). 203 DPI is the standard minimum for producing clear, scannable linear barcodes (like UPC, Code 39, Code 128). Higher DPI (300) is better for smaller, dense barcodes.

  2. Barcode Generation Software: This is critical. The printer’s companion app or your business software must have a proper barcode generation function. It must allow you to select the correct symbology (barcode type) and input the data correctly.

  3. Label Material: Use smooth, high-quality thermal label paper. Glossy or coated papers can cause glare, while low-quality matte paper can smudge, both of which can hinder scanning.
