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.
