Express Tag Engine 3


Database Verification and Job Submission

Variable data for hang tag production are usually saved in CSV or TXT format. Depending on the incoming source, it is often that the database is incomplete. It may have duplicated rows, empty fields, incorrect spelling and incorrect barcode format. Those errors need to be picked up by operator traditionally. Giving an example order with 45 hang tags, each tag has 7 variable data fields, there are 315 items need to be checked. It is a very time consuming and easy to have human errors. If an error is overlooked, it could result with a very serious problem because it will take time and money to reprint, refinish, and repack the tag. It may even need to re-ship the tags to customer again!

Order Express, an application that comes with the Express TagEngine, provides solution to overcome this problem. By Order Express, operator can find out duplicated rows to ignore one row or combine them as one record; able to find empty fields to let operator to input correct data, to spell check from a self-defined dictionary and verify barcode format. After this verification, data is confirmed as correct which minimizes the chance of reproduction due to data error.
Color code and product size are two most often appear variable fields in tags. Each color code or product size may be represented by a pantone color in the product. In addition, same color code tags are usually packed together. In Order Express, you can specify how tags should be grouped for production and pack. It saves cost on printing as well as time on packing.

Job submission to Express TagEngine is done in Order Express, which provides the easiest and most straight forward method to submit a job for production.
