On Shipping Docks

Eventually, all products make it to the shipping dock where thermal-transfer printers can, at that point, once again, be very useful. Virtually all package delivery systems—whether the U.S. Post Office, FedEx or UPS—rely on bar codes to track shipments. UPS has recently incorporated two-dimensional bar codes into their tracking system. With the appropriate database system and labeling software, bar code shipping labels could be formatted and printed directly from existing customer data files.
