Many organizations have established processes to identify visitors and control access within their facilities via visitor badge systems. Government buildings and schools require procedures to monitor who has entered the building and ensure everyone has registered, helping to keep their facilities and people secure. Hospitals and long-term care facilities require visitor badge printers as a part of a system to protect patients and to help control access to restricted areas.
Corporate enterprises issue badges to alert employees to the presence of visitors and ensure they don’t enter sensitive or unsafe areas. Whatever the setting, organizations across a wide range of industries have determined that identifying visitors and providing information about them on badges helps organizations operate more efficiently and securely.
While visitor badges are an integral part of a comprehensive access control strategy, the process of issuing them may be inefficient and interfere with positive guest experiences. Issuing badges manually takes time, and handwritten badges may be difficult to read. Moreover, it’s often impractical to include a visitor photo or other key details when badges are created by hand.
Badge solutions that incorporate purpose-built software, cameras, scanners, and printers streamline these processes. The system can allow guests to scan their ID to auto-populate fields on a badge, use an integrated camera to include a photo, and automatically add details like permissions and entry time. These systems also create a log for real-time tracking and auditing purposes.
While issuing badges in most cases will continue to require an employee to check credentials and ensure policy compliance, a visitor badge system saves time, keeps lines short, and improves the overall user experience.
Features of the Optimal Visitor Badge Printer
A visitor badge printer is a key component of any badge solution. To ensure efficient processes and high-quality badges, printers need the following features:
1. Print Width
You need the capability to print the right-sized labels so your team can easily read information and confirm that the badge is authentic. The ability to print on varying widths from the same printer is even more efficient, depending on your purposes.
2. Print Quality and Speed
A good visitor badge printer balances quick output with sharp, clear results to avoid bottlenecks while maintaining professionalism.
3. Flexible Connectivity
Not all entrances to your facilities allow for a wired network connection to your software. Printers with wireless or Bluetooth connectivity options enable printing wherever necessary.
4. Access to Label Templates
Printers that allow you to build and store pre-designed templates will make badge printing easier, especially when visitors have varying levels of permissions or unique needs.
5. Hardware Design
Choose a compact, space-saving printer with adaptable power options to suit your processes.
6. Easy User-Friendly Maintenance
A visitor badge printer with easy, user-friendly maintenance is essential for minimizing downtime and ensuring smooth operations. Features like toolless repair and straightforward upkeep allow staff to quickly address issues, keeping the badge-issuing process efficient and hassle-free.
The mC-Label3 multimedia printer by Star Micronics offers simple, user-friendly maintenance alerts.
Choose the Right Label Media for Your Visitor Badge System
The type of label media used is another crucial factor in building an efficient system. Peel-and-stick die-cut labels, a common option, can slow down processes, extend visitor wait times, and generate waste from backing materials. These label rolls also need to be changed more often because they contain labels plus silicone backing, giving fewer labels per roll. Business owners will also need to keep more rolls stocked in-house, taking up valuable storage space.
Because of the drawbacks of using linered labels, many organizations are choosing linerless labels. These labels exit the printer ready to apply—there is no silicone backing to peel off. This allows employees to issue badges more quickly and efficiently. It’s also a more sustainable choice for the system, reducing paper waste and allowing organizations to store more labels per shipment, minimizing transportation emissions.
Transitioning from manual processes or outdated, legacy systems to a modern efficient badge solution will save time, streamline workflows, and help visitors get where they need to go with less friction and in less time.
Star’s mC-Label3 multimedia printer has all of the features you need to generate high-quality, easily readable badges that are customized to your needs. It allows flexible print widths and accommodates linerless sticky labels (whether diamond or full adhesive), permanent linerless labels, die-cut labels, and continuous labels. It also features multiple connectivity options, whether connecting requires wireless or wired options.
Designed with user-friendly maintenance in mind, the mC-Label3 offers toolless repair and provides maintenance alerts with QR codes that guide users to detailed instructions on what the printer needs. This multifunctional printer includes One Touch Label, allowing your team to print custom, pre-designed label templates stored directly in the printer—even without a network connection.
The Star Micronics mC-Label3 is a versatile multimedia printer that prints a wide range of labels and receipts, including both permanent and repositionable sticky linerless. It features cloud connectivity and innovative technologies like SteadyLAN and TetherLAN for enhanced printing convenience.

California’s Proposition 65 (Prop 65) has recently updated its regulations, requiring products containing Bisphenol S (BPS) to include proper warning labels before being sold in California. To ensure compliance and avoid potential issues, Star Micronics has issued an important letter to value-added resellers (VARs) outlining the situation and what steps need to be taken.
Label Non-Compliant Inventory: Ensure any products containing BPS in your current inventory are correctly labeled if sold in California.
Educate Yourself on Prop 65 Laws: Carefully review the letter for detailed guidance and familiarize yourself with Prop 65 requirements to stay informed.
Many paper and label products currently in use may contain BPS. To avoid compliance issues, Star Micronics strongly encourages transitioning your paper inventory to our Prop 65-compliant Star Blue Eco paper. This sustainable option is designed to meet California’s standards while supporting environmentally conscious business practices.
For any questions or concerns about Prop 65 compliance or Star Blue Eco products, please feel free to contact us. Staying informed and prepared ensures your business can continue to thrive while meeting these important standards.

Immerse yourself in the world of point-of-sale (POS) with the Rising Stars Podcast by Star Micronics, hosted by industry pro, Kate Orara. Twice a month, we explore the fascinating journeys of innovators and businesses navigating the challenges of POS technology’s rapid pace.
In every episode, Kate Orara, Star Micronics’ Partner Development Manager, discusses emerging retail technology trends and strategies with global industry giants. She’s spent her entire career meeting all the right people, and now listeners everywhere can benefit from this vast network of channel gurus.
Always leading and always innovating, Star Micronics, a pioneer in POS and customer experience technology for over 60 years, welcomes you to join us in shaping a brighter future in the retail, hospitality, and cannabis industries.
Kate Orara: Hey there, retail tech enthusiasts! Welcome to the Rising Stars podcast, your go-to source for all things retail tech and point of sale. I’m Kate Orara, Partner Development Manager at Star Micronics, and I’m excited to guide you through this journey. Here, we dive into the latest innovations shaping the retail, hospitality, and cannabis industries. So, whether you’re a techie or a business owner, this is your backstage pass to insider knowledge. Join me and the Star Micronics team as we innovate and rise together.
Kate Orara: Welcome back to another episode of the Rising Stars podcast! I’m really excited about today’s episode because I’m joined by a good friend in the industry, James Korte. If you’re watching, you already know who that is. And if you’re listening, you’re about to find out! James is the Director of Marketing at Blue Star. Is that recent? I mean, you just got promoted to Director, right, James?
James Korte: I did, yes! It was a big moment. I’m terrible with dates, but I think it’s been about five months now—though it could be closer to a year. Time flies! But yes, it’s still fresh and very exciting. I’ve been in this industry for over ten years now, mainly in retail and hospitality technology. Blue Star is a large distributor, so we touch on pretty much every industry from a technology standpoint. I feel like people in this space are fascinated by the industry. I started as a designer, then moved into marketing, and now, here I am! And, Kate, when you messaged me about coming on the podcast and said, “Let’s talk about your favorite thing,” I didn’t even need clarification—I knew what you meant!
Kate Orara: Yes! And I think we share a similar perspective. We’re both Millennials, so we really experienced the digital shift. I remember when Facebook first launched, and you needed a college email to join. I friended everyone because I wanted to have as many friends as possible! Our generation really pushed digital marketing forward.
James Korte: Absolutely! Millennials really ushered in the digital era. I spent the first 13 years of my life without the internet, and then, suddenly, the world opened up. It changed everything for us. And yes, Zuckerberg, a fellow Millennial, created Facebook. So, here we are, a generation that has one foot in the “real” world and another online.
Kate Orara: We could probably do a whole other podcast on the generational topic! I did one recently on marketing to Gen Z with Tyler Wells from MicroTouch. That could be another part two we dive into later.
Kate Orara: So, moving into the focus of today’s episode: digital marketing. I know LinkedIn is a central platform in our industry. What’s one digital marketing trend you’re excited about that the channel hasn’t fully embraced yet?
James Korte: Great question! I’d say the trend I’m most excited about, which the channel is a bit slow to adopt, is entertainment as a marketing strategy. A lot of younger generations realize that interrupting a social media feed with a super buttoned-up, product-centric message doesn’t work as well anymore. The key is engaging your audience purely for the sake of engagement. I know some people think, “Why would I do that? I’m here to grow my business!” But if you’re constantly boring people, they’ll stop paying attention when you actually have something important to share.
There’s also an algorithmic element to it—if you spend time being generally entertaining and helpful, your business-related posts are more likely to reach people when the time is right. I think the channel needs to embrace micro-influencers, too. Even though these might not be huge celebrities, they’re influential in specific verticals. We tried an offering last year where vendors could hire someone on Cameo to give them a shoutout. It worked well and gave us a taste of influencer marketing. The point is, if you create fun and engaging content, people will stay tuned in for when you do share something business-relevant.
Kate Orara: I couldn’t agree more! You actually did something fun at Retail Now—it was like an “Olympics,” and I remember there was a “flex off.” That kind of engagement shows personality, which people love. We’re people working for companies, and it’s so important to show that human side.
Kate Orara: So, as the Director of Marketing, what’s your favorite digital marketing campaign you’ve ever worked on, or that someone else created, and why did it stand out?
James Korte: I’ll share two examples. One of our own, which wasn’t groundbreaking but was successful, and then one I just admire. First, we ran a campaign in late 2023 for an emerging tech vendor, Loop, an EV charging company. We targeted Wyndham property owners with a three-pronged approach: physical direct mail, meta (Facebook and Instagram) ads, and outbound telemarketing. We made it highly targeted to Wyndham, which resonated really well. The response was fantastic—28 people requested site visits, and it generated a few million dollars in revenue. It was successful because it was so targeted, and we connected with people in the way they preferred.
The other example is from a brand called Liquid Death. They make canned water, but it’s branded like a heavy metal album. Their tagline was “Murder Your Thirst,” and their ad campaigns were edgy—they even did a video where someone was waterboarded with Liquid Death. It was shocking and very bold. It’s not everyone’s style, but that’s the point—it created a loyal following of people who loved the brand’s irreverent style. It’s a great example of standing out in a crowded market by being different.
Kate Orara: We may not suggest waterboarding or electric shocking, but I get the point! So, in the channel space, what does a perfect customer journey using digital marketing look like to you?
James Korte: In an ideal world, the journey would go like this: the customer hasn’t heard of us, but they see our targeted ads on LinkedIn, our podcast sponsorships, or our presence at events. By the time they reach out, they’d think, “Blue Star is everywhere I am, and everyone I trust seems to be aligned with them.” They’d know who we are, what we do, and they’d trust that we know how to help them.
Kate Orara: Love it! What are some of the biggest mistakes you see businesses in our industry making in their digital marketing efforts today?
James Korte: Three points: First, a lot of businesses underinvest in marketing. It should be as prioritized as any other discipline, like HR or sales. Second, they try to be too broad in their market focus, listing 14 different industries they serve. Focus on a niche where you can truly stand out. Lastly, they often rely on incremental changes to their product rather than building a brand personality. Trust and human connection are what really matter. It’s about creating relationships and brand identity, not just incremental product changes.
Kate Orara: Couldn’t agree more. Human relationships are what drive loyalty, and focusing on a niche lets you speak directly to specific customers. For those with limited budgets, what’s a creative way smaller resellers and ISVs can compete against the larger brands? And if there’s one marketing tool or channel they should focus on, which would it be?
James Korte: Great question! Smaller players can focus on niche markets where they can provide something tailored and special. Look up reviews on larger competitors and see where they fall short, then capitalize on those areas. In terms of a tool, I’d recommend a no-code webpage builder or a design tool like Canva. These make it easy to create professional-looking materials without a huge budget, allowing smaller companies to look bigger and more polished online.
Kate Orara: I love those suggestions! Having a polished digital presence can make a smaller company look much larger, which instills confidence. As someone who’s often thinking ahead, what’s the wildest prediction you have for the future of digital marketing in our industry?
James Korte: I think we’re going to see a shift where personalities lead brands more than logos. Founder-led brands will become the norm, with CEOs and leaders creating content and being the face of the company. It’s a natural evolution with people like us becoming the leaders now. Tyler Young at Tonic POS is a great example—he’s built such a recognizable personal brand that’s aligned with his company’s goals. People will gravitate toward personalities over corporate branding.
Kate Orara: Couldn’t agree more. I think we’re definitely headed that way. It’s been so much fun chatting with you, and I think a part two is definitely needed—maybe after NRF! Before we close out, if there’s one thing in the channel you could change today, what would it be and why?
James Korte: Honestly? I wish I could go to every event! I always leave events feeling inspired, and there’s no better way to gather insights directly from people in the field. Conversations can lead to great ideas, and that feedback loop is invaluable.
Kate Orara: Absolutely. Thank you so much for your time, James. This has been an amazing conversation. Where can people follow you and stay updated with what you’re doing?
James Korte: Thank you, Kate! I’m active on LinkedIn, sharing content around marketing, design, and my observations on the industry. I’d love to connect with anyone interested. And a quick shout-out to Blue Star—we’re a technology distributor focused on building meaningful partnerships and helping businesses succeed through marketing and beyond.
Kate Orara: Thanks again, James! And that wraps up this episode of the Rising Stars podcast. A huge thanks to our listeners and our phenomenal guest for sharing such valuable insights.

If you’re looking to start a wash-and-fold laundry service (also known as wash-dry-fold) or add it to your current laundromat or dry-cleaning business, having the right POS system for wash and fold services is essential. To save both money and time, it’s helpful to know exactly what POS hardware is required to operate efficiently. In this post, we’ll outline the key components your POS system for wash and fold laundry services should include for success.
A wash-and-fold laundry service is an onsite laundry service that washes, dries, and neatly folds clothing and other items from the customer for pickup or delivery. The customer either drops off and picks up the clean clothes at a later date from the same location, or a driver will pick up the laundry from the customer’s location and then wash, dry, fold, and deliver the clothes back to the customer.
Adding Wash-and-Fold Services to Your Laundry Business Can Be Profitable
Wash-and-fold laundry services are rapidly increasing in demand, making it a highly profitable addition to any laundry business. With more people working from home and less need for dry-cleaning, casual and comfortable clothing is piling up. Many customers prefer the convenience of outsourcing their laundry rather than handling it themselves, driving the growing popularity of wash-and-fold services.
Providing exceptional customer service is crucial for standing out in the competitive wash-and-fold laundry industry. Offering pick-up and delivery services adds convenience for your customers, setting you apart from competitors. Along with neatly folding and packaging their laundry, including a personalized note, coupons, or branded tags can enhance the customer experience and present your business as more professional.
Considerations When Choosing a POS System for Wash and Fold
To run a successful business in this industry, having the right POS system for wash and fold laundry services is necessary. Think about all the different aspects of your business before choosing a point-of-sale system. It’s important to consider the following:
How many employees will use the system?
What payment methods will you accept?
Will you offer recurring laundry services?
Do I need in-house payment terminals or mobile payment options?
These are just a few factors that should be considered when selecting which POS system best suits your needs.
The Best POS System for Wash and Fold Services
Having the best hardware and software for your POS system for wash and fold laundry services is crucial. Here’s what you’ll need:
POS Software
POS software does more than print receipts—it manages inventory, tracks customer preferences, and provides detailed analytics. Many POS software solutions are tailored to laundry services, including wash-and-fold operations.
POS Hardware
Next, you’ll need a computer or tablet device to interact with your POS software and take payments. You’ll need a tablet display stand and a proper enclosure for your mobile device to secure and protect it. A credit card terminal that reads EMV cards to comply with future security updates is critical.
If you want to accept payments via customers’ phones, be sure to have the correct payment terminal for that. You will also want a cash drawer with the proper capacity for your cash flow so you never run out of change.

Trade Legal POS Scale
Most wash-and-fold laundry services charge by the pound, so an accurate POS scale is a must. You want a scale that is easy to connect to the rest of your POS hardware and can be integrated with your POS software without any problem or delay. Be sure the scale is “trade legal” and can measure a hefty amount of weight.

Barcode Scanner
A reliable barcode scanner is essential for tracking items and managing inventory. For your wash and fold POS system, choose a scanner that reads both 1D and 2D barcodes to streamline order management and customer payments.
2D barcodes cover things like QR codes, which are now widely used and hugely popular. Since customers can also scan them with their phones, QR codes can be utilized on order labels or receipts to take clients right to your website or landing page. This way, you can showcase ongoing promotions or holiday hours, and increase customer engagement with your brand.
Star’s 1D/2D Barcode Scanners
Star offers a comprehensive range of IP-rated 1D/2D barcode scanners, ideal for diverse business needs. From retail to healthcare, our versatile scanners excel in parsing driver’s license and ID barcodes, ensuring swift and accurate data capture. Choose the perfect fit for your setup—desktop, handheld, or wireless Bluetooth options available.
Finally, having trusted receipt and label printers will do your company wonders. A thermal receipt printer allows you to print professional-looking receipts, enhancing your brand. Still, some cloud-based printers can even allow automated promotional marketing to be set up and scheduled, printing with your customized receipt with the same QR code or promotional information to boost customer engagement as mentioned above.
The Star Micronics mC-Print3 combines high-speed printing with advanced connectivity options like Ultra-C and CloudPRNT Next. Its Ultra-C USB-C port provides seamless power and data transfer with any device, while CloudPRNT Next offers enhanced remote printing using the MQTT protocol, ideal for modern POS environments.
In addition to a receipt printer, you’ll also want a label printer. More people are using linerless label printers these days, whether repositionable sticky or permanent linerless labels. When customers receive their freshly cleaned garments, seeing a professionally applied label with their contact information adds an extra touch of care and attention. Details like this can differentiate your business from competitors and help foster customer loyalty, encouraging repeat visits.
The TSP143IV SK by Star Micronics sets a new standard for compact, eco-friendly thermal linerless label printing, offering advanced connectivity options like Wi-Fi and AOA, and efficient, residue-free labels for diverse business needs.
The Star Micronics mC-Label3 is a versatile multimedia printer that prints a wide range of labels and receipts, including both permanent and repositionable sticky linerless. It features cloud connectivity and innovative technologies like SteadyLAN and TetherLAN for enhanced printing convenience.
Impact printers, like the SP700 from Star Micronics, are particularly useful in wash-and-fold laundry services for their ability to produce durable, long-lasting prints. Impact printers use ink ribbons to create clear, smudge-proof tags that can withstand the high temperatures and humidity commonly found in laundry environments.
For laundry services, these printers can produce durable tags that are attached to customer orders for tracking. This ensures that clothes are easily identified and organized throughout the washing, drying, and folding processes.
Additionally, most impact printers offer two-color printing, which allows for important details, like customer names or special instructions, to stand out on the tags, further improving efficiency and accuracy. Impact printers like the SP700 provide reliable performance in hot and humid settings, making them an ideal solution for laundromats or any business offering wash-and-fold services.
SP700 Impact Printer
With its robust design and consistent print quality, the SP700 impact printer enhances both operational efficiency and customer satisfaction by streamlining order management.

Kate Orara: Hey y’all, welcome back to the Rising Stars podcast. I’m your host, Kate Orara, and in today’s episode, we’re diving into a game changer for cafes and coffee shops—the linerless sticky label printer. If you’ve ever wondered why every cafe needs one, you’re in the right place—or shall I say, you’re listening to the right podcast. We’ll actually be summarizing an insightful blog from Star Micronics that breaks down the benefits. If you’re not already subscribed to Star’s blog, be sure to visit Star Micronics’ website, go to the resources tab at the top, and select Star POS Blog. Scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page and complete the two-field form so you never miss an insightful piece from the resourceful marketing team at Star.
Kate Orara: With that being said, grab your favorite brew—of the coffee variety—and let’s get started.
Kate Orara: First off, what’s all the fuss about linerless sticky label printers? Well, imagine a world where labeling your coffee cups, food items, and merchandise is not only quick and easy but also eco-friendly. That is the power of linerless printing technology. The blog emphasizes a key point: efficiency. Picture a bustling morning rush in your cafe—orders are flying, and every second counts. With a linerless printer, you can print labels faster than ever before, reducing wait times and keeping your customers happy. That’s what it’s all about, right?
Kate Orara: But it’s not just about speed—it’s also about versatility. Linerless printers can produce labels of various lengths, which is perfect for everything from small espresso cups to large venti-to-go containers. Plus, they’re compatible with a range of label materials, ensuring durability without the waste of traditional label rolls.
Kate Orara: Now, let’s talk about waste reduction. Traditional label rolls come with a backing material called liner, and with linerless printing—well, you see where we’re going—that liner is not often recyclable. So by switching to linerless printing, cafes can significantly reduce their environmental footprint. It’s a win-win for both your business and the planet.
Kate Orara: But wait, there’s more. Linerless printers aren’t just for labeling cups and containers—they can also streamline your back-of-house operations. From labeling ingredients to organizing inventory, these printers are a game changer for cafe management.

Kate Orara: Welcome to another episode of the Rising Stars podcast, another little solo episode with little old me, where we are going to explore the latest innovations transforming the tech landscape. So today, we’re diving into the world of driver’s license barcode parsing and its potential to elevate value at resellers’ offerings. This is inspired by a recent article from our show sponsor, Star. We’re going to explore how this technology can streamline operations and enhance customer experiences. Driver’s license barcode parsing is more than just a tool for scanning IDs; it’s a game-changer for many industries, from retail and hospitality to healthcare and financial services. But how exactly does it work, and what benefits can it bring to your business?
Kate Orara: So first, let’s talk about the technology itself. Driver’s licenses come with barcodes that contain a wealth of information, including names, addresses, dates of birth, and more. Barcode parsing technology reads and extracts this data accurately and quickly, eliminating the need for manual data entry. This not only speeds up the processes but also reduces errors, ensuring that the data collected is both accurate and reliable.
Kate Orara: Now, let’s dive into the benefits for resellers and what they can do to implement this. Implementing driver’s license barcode parsing can significantly improve customer service. For example, in retail, it speeds up the checkout process, creating a smoother and more pleasant experience for the customers.

Kate Orara: Compliance is another critical area where this technology shines. Many industries face stringent regulations regarding data collection and customer verification. Driver’s license barcode parsing ensures that businesses capture the necessary information accurately and consistently, helping them stay compliant with local and federal laws.
Kate Orara: Security is also a major consideration. Robust barcode parsing solutions can help prevent fraud by verifying the authenticity of the IDs presented. So all you young’uns that might have fake IDs, beware. This adds an extra layer of protection for businesses, safeguarding them against potential security breaches and identity theft.
Kate Orara: Integration is key, though. When choosing a barcode parsing solution, it is essential to consider how well it integrates with your existing systems. A good solution should be flexible and secure, capable of seamlessly fitting into your business operations without compromising data privacy.
Kate Orara: So in summary, driver’s license barcode parsing is a powerful tool for resellers, offering benefits like enhanced efficiency, improved customer service, regulatory compliance, and heightened security. It’s an investment that can transform your offerings and set you apart from the competition.

Barcode technology offers many benefits to retail, manufacturing, healthcare, and other industries. For example, they enable more accurate inventory management, real-time visibility into products and stock, and more efficient checkout processes. However, businesses need the proper hardware, including a choice between a wired or wireless barcode scanner, to get the most value from their barcode solutions.
What Wired and Wireless Barcode Scanners Have in Common
Both wired and wireless barcode scanners share several hardware features. For instance, you can find both types in laser scanners or imagers designed for reading 1D barcodes (like UPC codes) and 2D scanners capable of reading both 1D and QR codes.
Additionally, both wired and wireless scanners are available with various ingress protection (IP) ratings. These ratings indicate the level of resistance to dust and liquid infiltration. For example, an IP rating of 42 means the device is protected from solid objects larger than 1 mm (indicated by the first number, “4”) and from water droplets (indicated by the second number, “2”).
There is also a range of scanner form factors, including handheld, presentation, fixed-mount, and in-counter models. The choice depends on your specific needs, such as scanning groceries at a checkout counter or shelf tags during inventory counts. It’s also essential to consider the environment in which you’ll use the scanner.
The following comparison of wired and wireless barcode scanners will help you choose the best option based on your application needs and other crucial business factors.
Advantages of Wired Barcode Scanners
Wired barcode scanners are ideal for fixed locations like checkout counters or back-of-house workstations. They provide reliable, fast data transmission without the risk of interference from other devices. Wired scanners are typically plug-and-play, making them easy to set up and use quickly.
These scanners are also generally more affordable than their wireless counterparts and don’t require battery replacements, reducing their total cost of ownership (TCO).
Depending on the model, wired scanners can deliver fast, accurate scanning of 1D and 2D barcodes on various surfaces, including paper, uneven packaging, and screens with protective film. For example, Star’s BSH-20U and BSH-32U handheld barcode scanners can function as both a presentation scanner on a counter and a handheld device. This model offers a large field of view, onscreen barcode capture, and an infrared sensor for efficient scanning, even in low-light conditions.
Advantages of Wireless Barcode Scanners
Barcode scanning typically requires you to take the product to the scanner, not the other way around. Wireless barcode scanners free you from cords and cables that limit movement and allow you to use presentation or fixed-mount scanning when wired connectivity isn’t available.
Leading wireless barcode scanners have a long battery life with up to 12 hours of continuous use and offer reliable wireless data transmission. Star’s wireless barcode scanners, such as the BSH-32B and BSH-HR2081BT, are also easy to move between locations and have plug-and-play setup with any point-of-sale (POS) software.
Simply connect via Bluetooth or the included USB dongle (USB dongle is imbedded in the charging cradle for the BSH-32B), and the scanner immediately works – no need to download any additional drivers. Star’s wireless scanners also have six scanning modes for convenience and capture images on paper, uneven media, and onscreen.
Wireless scanners add flexibility to operations, allowing you to quickly accommodate changes in workflow, like when consumer behaviors shift to curbside pickup. They’re ideal for inventory management, stock takes, and cycle counts, enabling employees to capture data instantly and accurately.
Wireless barcode scanners are also easily scalable. If you need to equip extra employees, you can add more scanners without altering your business infrastructure.
3 Factors to Consider When Choosing Between Wired and Wireless Barcode Scanners
Overall, your choice between wired and wireless barcode scanners comes down to the following:
1. Workflow Requirements
Consider whether employees work at a checkout counter, stationary workstation, or need mobility. Also, don’t forget to take ergonomics into account. Repeatedly using a handheld might lead to fatigue and injury, whereas a wired fixed-mount scanner could prevent those issues.
Additionally, ensure the model has the power to provide the speed necessary to keep up with the scanning volume employees need to do their jobs efficiently.
2. Budget
Consider both upfront costs and TCO, including batteries for wireless scanners and ongoing maintenance costs. Remember to review the warrantyto ensure you get the most out of your investment
3. Environmental Considerations
Determine where employees will use the scanner. A wireless barcode scanner may be the only choice if a wired connection isn’t possible. If a wired connection is possible, you may want to consider whether interference from other devices could diminish a wireless scanner’s performance. In that case, go with a wired barcode scanner.
The Ultimate Guide to Barcode Scanner Types and Applications
Navigate the world of barcodes with clarity and confidence, ensuring the right fit for your business needs.
Both wired and wireless barcode scanners have pros and cons, but when you consider workflow requirements, budget, and environmental factors, you’ll make the optimal choice for your application.
You can also contact your barcode technology solution provider to find the best scanner for your business. For example, antimicrobial scanners are available for companies in the healthcare industry, while rugged scanners are for more industrial or outdoor settings.

Since 2020, restaurants have significantly changed their operations. They adapted to regulations and mandates during the COVID-19 pandemic. They added online ordering and curbside pickup options to offer customers new ways to engage. They deployed self-service ordering and payment kiosks to meet changing consumer preferences.
However, the evolution of this industry isn’t over. Now, chains are prioritizing sustainability, transitioning to reusable cups. Repositionable linerless sticky labels will be vital to making that strategy work.
Stopping for coffee on the way to work or between errands is routine for many consumers. However, the cups they use are piling up. The Guardian reports that the U.S. landfills about 25 billion polystyrene cups each year, and that material takes about 500 years to decompose.
However, polystyrene isn’t the only type of cup that negatively impacts the environment. The estimated 16 billion paper cups that U.S. consumers use each year require cutting down about 6.5 million trees. Furthermore, adding up the cup, sleeve, production, and shipping, each paper cup is responsible for 110g of carbon dioxide emitted into the environment.
While protecting the environment and complying with new regulations for sustainable operations are driving changes in how restaurants serve to-go beverages, another factor is cost. Every 1,000 cups and lids cost about $75-$150, and with traditional processes, it’s equivalent to paying for something that immediately heads to a landfill. It’s one more reason that restaurants are taking a serious look at joining the reusable cup trend.
Chains Trailblazing the Transition to Reusable Cups
One chain that has launched a program to serve beverages in reusable cups is Tim Hortons. The brand, which had used this model before the pandemic, offers a 10-cent discount to customers who bring a clean reusable cup for their hot or cold beverage orders. Tim Hortons reports that, in 2019, it was able to reduce the number of disposable cups it used by 15 million for hot beverage orders alone.
Starbucks is also emerging as a leader in this area, becoming the first to accept reusable cups at the drive-thru and for mobile orders at participating locations in the U.S. and Canada. When customers place their orders at the drive-thru or with the Starbucks app, they let the barista know they brought a reusable cup. When they arrive at the pickup window or the counter, the barista collects the cup in a contactless vessel to ensure hygiene.
After baristas prepare orders, they serve them in customers’ cups. These customers receive a 10-cent discount, 25 Bonus Stars, and the satisfaction of supporting Starbucks’ commitment to reduce waste by 50% by 2030.
Repositionable Linerless Sticky Labels Make Serving Beverages in Reusable Cups Practical
When serving beverages in customers’ reusable cups, it’s essential to ensure employees can quickly identify which cup belongs to which customer. Repositionable sticky labels allow restaurants and cafes to keep the order and customer information with the cup to avoid mix-ups. If the goal is to reduce waste, ensuring the correct order is poured into the right cup is essential. Otherwise, employees would have to discard the beverage and remake the order.
Also, repositionable labels are durable enough to stay attached throughout the process but are easy for customers to remove. Therefore, they don’t have to scrape off a permanent label so they can use the cup again.
An even more environmentally friendly option is to use repositionable linerless sticky labels. These labels don’t have a backing that employees must remove before applying them. This streamlines processes, allowing employees to even apply labels with one hand. Linerless labels also decrease the waste that the restaurant or café produces and clutter from paper backing on counters or the floor.
Additionally, linerless rolls contain 60% more labels, so employees spend less time replacing label rolls and more time serving customers.
Linerless labels have no backing, giving more labels per roll with less waste.
Printing repositionable linerless sticky labels for reusable cups is just one of the print jobs required at cafes and restaurants. They also need to print receipts and may need to print permanent labels for prepared foods or shelf labels for inventory control.
Brands that partner with third-party delivery services may want to generate tamper-proof labels to assure customers of quality and safety. The restaurant or café may also want to create custom QR codes or branded labels on demand to enhance customer engagement.
The best investment is in a printer capable of handling a variety of linerless label sizes to meet all of the business’s needs. This printer will also allow a restaurant or café to keep up with emerging restaurant trends, like “bring your own cup” (BYOC) or other labeling use cases on the horizon.
