<p class="MsoNormal">Why not try printing the label twice, adjacent to itself with a “fold line” in between so once the labels are cut, they can be folded in half when pinned. If you cut them in strips, you can first fold each strip and then cut between each
label. Voila!<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hello all, <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m working on upgrading the INHS Insect Collection to QR-code accompanied catalog numbers, but wanted to eliminate the issue of having the QR code face up or down when on the insect pin,
<b><i>by printing the catalog number and the QR code on both sides of the label</i></b>. This would also help with printing labels for ethanol that often get flipped around inside a vial or jar. I know several other people now in the entomology community who
are interested in this moving forward, I’m looking on solutions that have worked or are likely to work for people. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Here are my requirements:<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">- must be on archival entomology label paper (I know we’ve had a million discussions about this, but I’ve somewhat settled on the Buffington classic: 200g HP double sided gloss brochure paper)<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">- must be able to print QR codes and a human-readable catalog number (e.g. INHS Insect Collection 1000258, see attached) at high-resolution onto a label only 4mm tall and 15cm wide (pinned & slide specimens are the limiting factor, I don’t
expect as much problem printing catalog numbers for larger ethanol-vial catalog numbers)<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">- must be able to have above QR codes and human-readable catalog numbers at high resolution onto <b>BOTH sides </b>with enough precision to be cut out without loss of data on either sides
<b>(this is the main issue IMO, as many other double-sided solutions do not have to contend with such small labels, and the errors that come with duplex printing)</b><o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
