According to a report from AD HOC NEWS cited by Google News — retail barcodes, Avery Dennison Corp. has introduced its Monarch RFID label printers, compact thermal devices aimed at streamlining label production in busy retail settings.
The Monarch printers are designed as workhorses for high-volume label runs, combining RFID encoding capability with thermal transfer technology. Their compact footprint allows them to fit into constrained retail back-office spaces while delivering fast, reliable printing of barcode and RFID tags.
As retailers increasingly adopt RFID for inventory tracking and omnichannel fulfillment, devices like the Monarch line support the shift from traditional 1D barcodes to smart labels. The printers are expected to help businesses improve accuracy and efficiency in tagging merchandise across supply chain and point-of-sale operations.
