How much do Tyre Barcode Labels Cost?

Since every tyre manufacturer has their own unique processes, their barcodes will need to be engineered to withstand those processes. This means that prices will vary from application to application.

Most facilities spend between $10 and $15 per every 1,000 tyre barcode labels, but where your facility falls within that range depends on several factors including: how your labels are printed, order volumes, customisation needs and application method.

Print Method

How your labels are printed will affect the overall cost of your order. You might choose to order your labels pre-printed or blank.

When you order your labels pre-printed you may be offered specialised technologies you can’t implement in house, and you receive the benefit of having your labels checked for duplicates prior to delivery. These are factors that will impact the cost of your order.

On the other hand, when you purchase blank labels the labels themselves will cost less than pre-printed labels, but ink, printer and labour costs will need to be factored in as well to best asses the best method for your budget. 

Computype recommends purchasing pre-imaged barcode labels whenever possible in order to guarantee sequence integrity. Read more about it here!

Order Volumes

As with almost anything, as your order gets larger your overall cost will increase, however, consumables may be discounted if an agreement is made to purchase a certain quantity over time.

Application Method

Whether you choose manual or automated, pre-cure or post-cure application will affect the cost of your labels. We special engineer our labels to ensure they are optimised for their intended application method. Meaning your application process might require special materials or alterations that could affect the overall cost.

Customisation Needs

If your facility chooses to make custom alterations, whether that be to the shape and colour of your barcode labels, or by adding RFID capabilities, these changes will increase the cost of your order.

It’s not to worry however, since in many applications adding features such as these add enough value to your product to make up for the costs.
