Masakhane Barcoding and Labels

Masakhane Barcoding and Labels We are a label manufacturing business but also supply printed stationery like letterheads etc.

Masakhane Barcoding & Labels is a proudly South African, BEE status level 4, flexographic printing and manufacturing company specialising in the supply of Self Adhesive labels, barcode printers and general printing supplies. Our products are widely used in the mining, agricultural, transport, utilities and manufacturing sectors. The company was founded in September 1993 as "Janet Cziganek CC" a broker for continuous printing for the computer industry. As a result of the economic developments of the rainbow nation (Post 1994), the company experienced good growth in both customers and turnover. The investment in manufacturing machinery and staff prompted a name change from Janet Cziganek cc to Masakhane Businesses forms, a name chosen to represent the unified spirit of a young democracy. In 1997 capital expansion enabled the acquisition of a second printing machine resulting in a broader product offering and a final name change to Masakhane Barcoding & Labels cc. With over 25 years experience in the printing & label industry and a sound knowledge of associated fields, Masakhane Barcoding & Labels is able to deliver customised label solutions of exceptional quality and at competitive prices. We take pride in our dedicated customer focus and operational flexibility allowing for completion of emergency orders and specified customer needs.

A little throwback to some of the printing work we've completed for The Alchemist Small Batch Craft Distillery.

From the intricate artwork to the striking black and gold design, this project is a great reminder that a label is more than just a finishing touch.

It's part of the product's identity, and every detail counts!

At Masakhane, we're proud to help bring our clients' branding to life, one print at a time.

Your brand. Our print expertise.

SOME JOBS ARE JUST TOO PRECISE FOR SCISSORS!

Straight lines? Easy.

Intricate patterns, detailed shapes and perfectly repeated designs? Now we're talking!

That's where laser cutting comes in.

Using a focused laser beam, detailed designs can be cut into compatible materials with impressive precision and consistency.

Whether you're creating:

🔹 Custom signage and lettering
🔹 Detailed stencils
🔹 Decorative panels and displays
🔹 Custom packaging components
🔹 Unique branding elements

Laser cutting opens up a world of creative possibilities.

And because the cutting process is digitally controlled, designs can be reproduced consistently, making it a valuable solution for both individual projects and repeat production.

When ordinary cutting won't cut it, think laser cutting!

DID YOU KNOW? A RED BARCODE COULD BE INVISIBLE TO A SCANNER!

It might look perfectly readable to you, but your barcode scanner could disagree.

Here's why:

Many traditional barcode scanners use red light to read the bars and spaces.

Red bars can reflect that light in a way that makes them difficult for the scanner to distinguish from the background.

That's why black bars on a white background are generally the safest option for reliable scanning.

The takeaway?

When it comes to barcode printing, choosing colours isn't just about matching your branding. It's about making sure your barcode can actually do its job.

At Masakhane, we know that what looks good in print also needs to work in practice.

Because a barcode that doesn't scan is just a collection of lines.

YOUR DESIGN LOOKS PERFECT. UNTIL IT GETS TRIMMED.

Welcome to Masakhane 101!

Today's file preparation tip is all about BLEED.

Ever wondered why printed materials sometimes end up with an unwanted white edge?

It could be because the artwork wasn't set up with enough bleed.

Here's what you need to know:

🔹 Bleed: Extra background colour or imagery extending beyond the final cutting line.

🔹 Trim line: Where the printed material will be cut to its finished size.

🔹 Safe area: The space inside the trim line where important text, logos and details should stay.

PRO TIP: 3 mm bleed on each side is common for many printed products, but always confirm the requirements with your printer. Different products and finishing processes may require different specifications.

A little preparation before printing can prevent a lot of frustration afterwards!

Great printing starts with great file preparation.
