sanitary ware barcode label
Ceramic barcode or high temperature barcode is a decal label supplied as waterslide transfers .
The barcode printed by ceramic pigments and attached on the sanitary ware wet mold with fixative and it remains stable on pieces during the sanitary ware production process and makes it possible to track the product via barcode. Additionally, it can withstand at 1250ºc temperature.
The ceramic barcodes are attached to sanitary ware porcelain in the molding stage.
Sanitary ware barcodes can be produced in various sizes and different type.
The formula to produce ceramic barcode labels can change for different products. We design the barcode for your industry.
Sanitary ceramics undergo high-temperature kiln firing (up to 1200°C) and are exposed to humid, chemical-heavy environments in bathrooms, requiring barcodes that resist heat, moisture, strong detergents, and abrasion.
Why Heat-Resistant Barcodes?
Production Tracking: Enable precise identification of each piece (e.g., a specific washbasin) from molding to firing and packaging.
Inventory Management: Simplify model, batch, and specification tracking for warehousing and distribution.
Quality Control: Store test data (e.g., water absorption or glaze durability) for quality assurance.
Customer Experience: Allow end-users to verify authenticity, warranty, or usage instructions via scanning.
Key Features of Heat-Resistant Barcodes for Sanitary Ceramics
Heat-resistant barcodes for sanitary ceramics must endure harsh conditions while maintaining functionality. Here are their core features:

Maintain integrity in humid bathroom environments.
Aesthetic and Design Flexibility:
Compact and discreet designs that complement the sleek look of sanitary ceramics (e.g., glossy white glazes).
Options for reverse printing (applied internally, read externally) or transparent labels for seamless integration.
Environmental Compatibility:
Made from non-toxic materials that don’t release harmful gases during firing.
Compliant with hygiene standards for public and residential bathrooms.
Applications of Heat-Resistant Barcodes in Sanitary Ceramics
Heat-resistant barcodes play a critical role across the lifecycle of sanitary ceramics. Key applications include:
Production and Firing:
Track components through molding, glazing, and firing stages.
Prevent errors in kilns (e.g., firing a washbasin instead of a toilet).
Record firing temperature and duration for quality control.
Quality Control:
Store test results (e.g., glaze uniformity or water absorption) on barcodes.
Enable quick scanning to verify compliance with standards before packaging.
Warehousing and Distribution:
Streamline inventory management for different models
and sizes (e.g., 60cm toilets or countertop washbasins).
Reduce human errors in shipping to customers.
Marketing and After-Sales:
Barcodes on final products (e.g., under a washbasin or behind a toilet)
allow customers to scan for warranty details, model specs, or installation guides.
Link to company websites for feedback or repair requests.
Anti-Counterfeiting:
Unique barcodes prevent product duplication by counterfeiters.
Enable consumers to verify authenticity via QR code scanning.
For Example:
A sanitary ceramic manufacturer reduced tracking errors in their kiln by using our ceramic-based heat-resistant barcodes,
improving delivery times and customer satisfaction.

Apply even pressure to activate the adhesive.
For ceramic barcodes integrated during firing, adhere to the provided temperature guidelines.
Initial Testing:
Before mass production, test a sample barcode in the kiln to confirm readability at operating temperatures.
Scan to verify accurate data encoding.
Maintenance:
Store unused fireproof barcodes away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the packages together in their packaging
to avoid placing excessive weight on the sanitary ceramic barcodes.
For barcodes on final products, inform customers to use standard scanning apps.
Pro Tip:
For complex designs (e.g., wall-hung toilets or countertop washbasins), place barcodes in scannable yet discreet locations, like under bases or inside tanks, to preserve aesthetics.

How Heat-Resistant Barcodes Reduce Sanitary Ceramic Production Costs
Producing sanitary ceramics—ranging from toilets and washbasins to bidets and shower trays—is an expensive process.
Costly raw materials, high-energy kilns, and skilled labor are just part of the industry’s expenses.
Now imagine slashing a significant portion of these costs with a simple solution.
Heat-resistant barcodes do exactly that! These small, durable labels not only minimize errors but also make production faster and more profitable.
In this article, we’ll show you how heat-resistant barcodes can drive down sanitary ceramic production costs.
Reducing Tracking Errors with Heat-Resistant Barcodes
One of the biggest challenges in sanitary ceramic production is product tracking errors. When hundreds of components—like washbasins, toilets,
or shower trays—move through the production line,
identifying each one without proper tools is difficult and error-prone. Paper or manual labels burn off in high-temperature kilns (up to 1300°C),
leading workers to misclassify parts or apply incorrect firing settings.
The result?
Defective products and extra costs for rework.
Heat-resistant barcodes, made from ceramic or durable polymers, remain legible even at extreme temperatures.
With a quick scan, workers can ensure each component is correctly identified.
Real-World Savings from Tracking Accuracy
For instance, one of our clients, reduced tracking errors by 20% using our heat-resistant barcodes.
This translated to millions in savings on defective part rework in just one month!
By preventing misidentification, these barcodes eliminate costly mistakes and keep production on track.
Optimizing Warehousing and Saving Time
Warehousing in the sanitary ceramic industry can be a nightmare.
Various models (e.g., 60cm toilets or countertop washbasins), diverse sizes, and different production batches complicate the job for warehouse staff.
Without precise tracking, finding a specific product takes time and drives up labor costs.
Heat-resistant barcodes simplify this.
Each barcode stores complete details like model, size, and batch number.
With a single scan, warehouse staff can locate the right product and ship it to customers.
Improved Warehousing Efficiency
One manufacturer told us that after installing our heat-resistant barcodes, their warehousing time dropped by 15%.
This not only cut labor costs but also sped up deliveries, boosting customer satisfaction. Faster, error-free warehousing means more efficient operations and happier clients.
Every sanitary ceramic piece ruined in the kiln means wasted raw materials, energy, and time.
For example, if a washbasin is fired at the wrong temperature, its glaze cracks, rendering it unusable.
Such waste significantly inflates production costs. Heat-resistant barcodes prevent these errors by storing firing details (e.g., correct temperature or duration).
Workers can scan the barcode before loading the kiln to confirm settings are accurate, minimizing waste and reducing raw material loss.

Speed and Automation in Production
Sanitary ceramic production is full of details: from molding and glazing to firing and packaging.
Manually recording this data is time-consuming and prone to errors.
Heat-resistant barcodes can integrate with production management systems (like ERP), automatically logging data.
This eliminates the need for employees to manually note kiln temperatures or product models, speeding up production and cutting labor costs.
Enhanced Decision-Making
With instant access to production data, managers can make better decisions and boost efficiency. Automation through barcodes streamlines workflows, allowing your factory to produce

lets customers scan for warranty details, installation guides, or cleaning tips.
This reduces support calls
and after-sales costs while making customers feel they’re dealing with a modern, professional brand.
