Drum Content ID Label – Barcode Ready

Drums containing chemicals, intermediates, or raw materials must be identified accurately throughout storage, movement, and consumption. Handwritten markings fade, and non-optimized labels cause barcode scan failures due to glare, ink spread, or surface irregularities. Missed scans slow operations and break traceability. Anaika offers barcode-ready drum content ID label solutions engineered with scan-optimized surfaces and stable adhesion, ensuring reliable barcode readability across warehousing, production, and audit workflows.

Key Features

  • Scan-optimized surface for consistent barcode readability

  • Matte finish reduces glare under warehouse lighting

  • Supports 1D barcodes and 2D codes (QR / Data Matrix)

  • Strong adhesion on curved plastic and metal drum surfaces

  • Maintains scan quality despite handling and abrasion

  • Suitable for long-term inventory and traceability use
