Examples of Serial Tags

This is a “standard” serial tag for a rolled good.

Serial Tag 2

This serial tag is for an item that has been cut once after it was measured. The difference between this label and Serial Tag 1 is the Measured/Cut Once statement in the middle of the label.

Serial Tag 3

This is a serial tag for a serial# that has been measured but has not been cut since. This is useful on balances because if the cut station operator sees this message, and they print a new serial tag after every cut, he knows this measurement is accurate and does not need to be rolled out and remeasured.

Serial Tag 4

This is a serial tag returns an item number when its barcode is scanned with an RF device. It is identified with an I in the Serial Tag Label Format Defaults screen.
