The electronic face sheet printer refers to the printing equipment that can be used to print the text and bar code content on the face sheet of the express delivery industry, and can improve the execution efficiency of each link of the express delivery.

Thanks to the rapid development of the e-commerce industry, China's express delivery business volume has reached 14 billion throughout 2014, an increase of more than 50% over the total business volume in 2013, ranking first in the world. Most of the day at the same time there are more than 0.1 billion express in transit. Behind the rapid growth of business volume, the express industry is undoubtedly facing huge competition and challenges. How to provide customers with the best service with the lowest cost and the highest efficiency is a problem that every express company must consider. By using the face sheet printer, the express company can solve the problems of slow writing speed, scrawled handwriting, and scrapping of wrong documents in the past, A greater degree of savings in labor costs, but also improve the efficiency and accuracy of the delivery.

(I) traditional face sheet

The traditional face-to-face list is the one that we have more contact with at present. The first list is the stub of the delivery company, the second list is the stub of the delivery company, the third list is the stub of the sender, and the fourth list is the stub of the recipient.

Advantages: 1) Through carbonless carbon paper technology, the sender only needs to write the first couplet or print the first couplet with a stylus printer, and the corresponding handwriting will be written synchronously in the lower couplet, thus saving writing time to a certain extent. 2) The courier can carry it with him. In the absence of a printer, he only needs to prepare a pen to fill in the documents.

Inadequacies: 1) high paper cost: many layers and large area; 2) unsatisfactory clarity, beauty and accuracy when filling in manually; 3) once the writing is wrong, all quadruples will be scrapped; 4) inconvenient to draw orders

(II) electronic surface sheet

Electronic face sheet for the traditional face sheet, belongs to a new type of face sheet, it conforms to the requirements of the rapid development of the express industry, greatly simplifies the manual filling of the face sheet operation steps. The form of electronic surface sheets is mostly roll-type or stacked three-layer thermal paper adhesive labels. After the last layer is torn apart, it can be directly pasted on the surface of the outer box of the goods without express bags. The contents of the electronic face sheet page (except the logo of the express company) are all generated by the express software and printed directly through the face sheet printer, thus maximizing the labor cost required to fill in the express sheet.

Advantages of electronic face sheet:

1. Higher efficiency 1) Electronic face sheets are 4-6 times that of ordinary paper face sheets. On average, it only takes 1-2 seconds for each sheet to be printed. High-efficiency sheet printing greatly relieves the pressure of large-scale sheet printing for customers such as e-commerce, with an average speed of 2500 sheets/hour and a maximum speed of 3600 sheets/hour. It is easy to cope with promotional activities. 2) Order completion is faster. After applying to major express logistics companies for waybill numbers, merchants can automatically import order information and receipt and delivery information in batches in the face sheet printing software, and label templates can be automatically generated. After clicking Print, express face sheets can be generated in batches.

2, the cost is lower, the cost of the electronic surface sheet itself is more than 5 times lower than the traditional surface sheet.

Classification and status of (III) products

According to the two types of face sheets currently used in the express delivery industry, the common printers used to print face sheets on the market are also divided into two types:

1. Ordinary needle bill printer

The printing of the traditional quadruple express sheet needs to be completed by a stylus printer, because only the working principle of the stylus printer is to hit the surface of the copy paper by a striker to form a font, which is similar to writing directly on the surface of the express sheet with a pen. In addition to being used for face-to-face printing, stylus printers are usually used for printing multiple bills such as invoices and receipts.

2. Thermal Printer

Electronic face sheets are mostly rolled or stacked three-layer thermal adhesive label paper, and the printer used to print electronic face sheets is what we call thermal printers, also commonly known as "face sheet printers", "express face sheet printers", "electronic face sheet printers", etc. Different from the thermal receipt printers we often see at cash registers in supermarkets and shopping malls, since the most common size and width of electronic face sheets are 100mm, which is much wider than supermarket face sheets, and forms and bar codes are needed on express face sheets, the thermal printer that can really be used to print electronic face sheets can only be a thermal label printer with a printing width of 4 "or more. Due to the compatibility of technology, most of the thermal transfer barcode label printers on the market also have the function of thermal printing, but when used for pure electronic surface single printing, that is, when only the thermal printing function is needed, it is still recommended to choose a thermal printer dedicated to electronic surface single.
