Barcode Southwest Reaches 100 Blog Articles! Yes, we finally did it. Our primary focus has been on barcode printers and scanners. However, we also have several articles about application specific labels. Barcode Southwest specializes in helping companies find the best match between barcode printers, scanners, and labels. Each company and application will be slightly different. This is why we believe in a front-end consultation and/or an equipment demonstration before the purchase.
When choosing barcode printers, scanners or labels, it is wise to base your decision upon application rather than cost.
