Retail Packaging & Legal Metrology Compliance
Essential operational checkpoints to prevent pickup rejections, blurred barcodes, and courier SLA breaches.
50×25mm is the de facto standard sticker size for polybag packaging in the Indian e-commerce apparel and general merchandise sector. Ensure your printer driver paper size is explicitly set to 50×25mm.
Under Indian Legal Metrology Rules, any pre-packaged commodity sold online or offline must display the generic name of the commodity, net quantity, month/year of manufacture, MRP (inclusive of all taxes), and consumer care details.
Set thermal darkness to 10-12 and speed to 3-4 IPS. Because 50×25mm labels are compact, sharp barcode contrast is essential to prevent bars from bleeding into the product text.
Test Barcode Scanning on Curved Polybags
Apply your printed 50×25mm sticker onto a filled polybag and test scan with your warehouse handheld scanner. Curved surfaces require clean barcode margins to read quickly.
Calibrate Twin-Track Rolls
If using 2-across (twin track) 50×25mm rolls, configure the horizontal gap and label width in your printer driver to ensure both stickers print aligned.
