Print & Barcode Validation

Ensure every barcode and label is error free before dispatch

Our iDSnet-powered validation solutions check both print quality and barcode data in real time right on your production line. Identify errors due to dust, substrate defects, poor label placement or misprints, so only compliant products leave your facility.

How it works

Our barcode and print validation systems combine fixed or mobile scanners with integrated camera technology, all powered by iDSnet. This setup allows you to automatically inspect and verify every code as it’s printed, without slowing your production line.

The system checks for:

• Presence – confirms a barcode or label is actually printed
• Readability – ensures the code can be scanned
• Accuracy – verifies the correct data is encoded
• Print quality – flags smudged, incomplete, or distorted codes

Machines can grade marks against ISO/ANSI standards, or simply pass/fail them to maintain production flow.

Benefits of Print & Barcode Validation

• Reduce recalls and rejections by spotting issues early
• Improve efficiency by catching defects on-the-run, not after packing
• Capture actionable data – trace error trends and drive continuous improvement
• Comply with GS1 and retailer standards using automated validation

Where it can be used

Print and barcode validation systems can be deployed across multiple points in your production and packing process, helping ensure accuracy from start to finish:

• Primary packaging – verify barcodes on labels, sachets, bottles
• Secondary packaging – check carton barcodes before shipment
• 2D codes – scan QR/DataMatrix used for traceability or regulatory compliance
• Dispatch areas – final check for shipping cartons and scan labels
