Case Study: Custom Zebra Labels for Corza Medical

Precision Labeling for Surgical Devices
Advanced Automation helped Corza Medical last year to develop a highly customized barcode label solution tailored to their precise needs. Corza, a leading manufacturer of surgical supplies, required an asset label with exact dimensions to fit their medical devices, leaving no room for size deviations.

In addition to the strict sizing requirements, the label needed to endure frequent cleaning and sanitation processes without compromising readability or adhesion. Leveraging our expertise in Zebra custom labeling solutions, we identified Zebra Z-Ultimate 3000T labels as the ideal choice, ensuring durability, chemical resistance, and long-lasting performance in a medical environment—all in a cost-effective solution.

Seamless Integration & Long-Term Success
After implementing the new custom Zebra labels, Corza Medical expressed their satisfaction with both the quality of the labels and the exceptional service they received throughout the process. The Zebra labels seamlessly integrated into their asset management system, providing a reliable and long-term solution for their medical devices.

Delighted with the results, Corza confirmed their commitment to future orders, reinforcing our role as a trusted partner for their labeling needs. This successful collaboration highlights Advanced Automation’s ability to deliver precision-engineered solutions that meet the stringent demands of the healthcare industry.

Case Study: Custom Zebra Labels Streamline Production for Grupo Antolin

Optimizing Automotive Assembly with Custom Labeling
Grupo Antolin, a global leader in automotive interior manufacturing, required a specialized labeling solution to enhance accuracy and efficiency during their production and assembly process. Their teams needed a clear, precise way to identify the exact placement of foam assemblies within vehicle headliners.

To address this challenge, Advanced Automation designed a custom label solution using Zebra’s 2”x2” Thermal Transfer Z-Perform 2000T HighTack labels. The labels were flood-coated yellow with a black border, providing a highly visible guide for workers to ensure precise foam placement, reducing errors and improving workflow consistency.

Exceeding Expectations with a Scalable Solution
The results exceeded expectations—Grupo Antolin successfully integrated the 150,000-label solution into their production line with immediate improvements in assembly accuracy. The labels adhered securely to surfaces, withstanding the demands of the manufacturing environment while maintaining clarity and durability.

Delivered ahead of schedule and within budget, this solution reinforced Advanced Automation’s commitment to providing high-quality, tailored labeling solutions that optimize production processes. Grupo Antolin was highly satisfied with the outcome and looks forward to future collaborations to further enhance their operational efficiency.

Case Study: Custom Durable Synthetic Labels for Katecho

Custom Labeling Solution for Katecho
Katecho, a global leader in hydrogel design and manufacturing, needed a long-lasting labeling solution that could withstand years in a climate-controlled environment while enduring minor abrasion and light cleaning. Their specific size requirements ruled out any off-the-shelf Zebra ZipShip options, requiring a fully customized approach.

Advanced Automation collaborated closely with Katecho to determine the precise label dimensions and identify a synthetic material that would provide the necessary durability and longevity. Given the stringent healthcare industry regulations, the selected label had to undergo rigorous testing and validation for both material integrity and adhesive performance before final approval.

Seamless Integration & Long-Term Performance
In addition to meeting durability and compliance requirements, the custom Zebra labels needed to integrate seamlessly with Katecho’s existing fleet of Zebra industrial printers, ensuring flawless print performance across multiple production lines.

The Zebra custom Z-Ultimate 4000T labels delivered exceptional results, with the labels adhering securely, maintaining legibility over time, and performing flawlessly in Katecho’s manufacturing environment. The successful implementation reinforced Advanced Automation’s expertise in developing tailored barcode labeling solutions for highly regulated industries, solidifying Katecho’s confidence in our ability to support their ongoing operational needs.
