Growing Tire Industry And Barcode Labeling

The global tire market has seen a magnificent increase in the last few years and is predicted to reach a scoring volume of 3.9 billion units by 2024.

The factors that have influenced this growth are rapid urbanization, rising income levels, changing lifestyles, and increase in population – all this has led to the high demand and sale of commercial and passenger vehicles. A study shows that the average American household owns at least two cars.

Hence, the growth and expansion of the automobile industry has directly impacted the sale of tires. Tires are needed for new cars as well as used cars. This means that the demand for high-quality brand new tires is much higher than the automobile industry itself. With the growing demand for tires comes the growing demand for high-quality premium tires. And that’s where barcode labels step in.

Barcode labels make tracking for manufacturers and consumers easier. It streamlines the entire tire manufacturing, retreading, and green rubber curing process. Let’s discuss why barcode labels are important for the tire industry and how they function.

Barcode Labels Make it Easier to Track the Tire Manufacturing Process

Tire barcode labels are important as they help track each and every step in the tire manufacturing process. The tire manufacturing process is complicated, especially given the uncontrollably high demand. Barcode labels provide a completely efficient and transparent audit trail throughout the process.

The barcode label includes all information about the tire materials— the type, inventory, dealership name, and other important details that are needed for tracking. Each tire is given a unique tracking code to ensure that everything is scanned at each checkpoint. Those tires that indicate a problem or have untraceable barcode labels need to be sent back.

Barcode Labels Ensures Manufacturing Tires the ‘Right Way’

With barcode label tracking, manufacturers ensure that they adopt the best practices throughout the manufacturing process. This is called the ‘right way’ as it indicates eco-friendly, sustainable ways to produce tires with minimum waste and environmental hazards. This automated tracking system allows manufacturers to track the development of each tire and keep track of the rubber used to minimize waste.

Barcode Labels Help Consumers Track Tread Life

Lastly, tire barcode labels significantly help consumers keep track of their tires. They can use them to track the tread life, its performance ratings and safety grades. This way, consumers can take better care of their tires and prevent premature wear and tear.

Many countries, including the US and the UK, have made tread labels mandatory for all tires. These barcode labels help the official authorities to track tire safety and ensure that quality grade standards are met. Tire labels have changed the way tire manufacturing works by making it much more efficient. If your tires don’t have a barcode, get them labeled today!
