Positive Patient Identification is All in the Wrist. FREE White Paper!

Prevent medical errors: Accurately identify patients with durable Zebra wristbands printed with sharp, sure-to-scan bar codes and crisp text, graphics, and even patient photos. To meet both patient confidentiality and safety requirements such as those of HIPAA and JCAHO, we recommend Z-Band® Direct bar code wristbands, which allow easy, ribbonless printing. For best performance, combine high-quality Genuine Zebra wristbands with Zebra printers, for which they are specifically engineered.

For more about ensuring patient safety, visit our health services Web page. Also be sure to download our white paper, “It’s All in the Wrist: Improving Patient Safety with Bar Code Wristbands.”

Improve Store Efficiency, Customer Service, and Back Room Productivity.

If you were able to visit Zebra’s booth at the National Retail Federation’s Convention & Expo last month, you learned how Zebra’s bar code, receipt, card printing, and RFID solutions can improve operations in the front of the store, the back, and everywhere in between.

In the front, for instance, you can

  • Reduce checkout times by using a versatile Zebra wireless mobile printer to print receipts and/or process sales transactions as part of a line-busting point-of-sale solution.
  • Issue gift and loyalty cards.
  • Print and encode smart shelf labels.

In the back,

  • Generate RFID or bar coded shipping labels, batches of shelf tags, or return disposition labels.
  • Go mobile and save steps and time by printing pick tickets or shipping labels at the point of application.
  • Allow your direct store delivery vendors to confirm deliveries by plugging into the Zebra RW 420 mobile printer as a DEX interface and wirelessly verifying the order with your store system.
