Take careful consideration in the print layout so that no printing is done on the backing
paper or outer edge.
Do not preprint (black marks or the equivalent print) in the joint between two backing
papers.
The transmission rate must be 57% or more for the backing paper, and 18% or less for
the backing paper + label paper.
The joint within a baggage tag must be 1 mm {0.039"} or less.
The hole size must be 1.6 to 6 mm {0.06 to 0.24"}.
The gap between labels must be 3.2 to 6 mm {0.13 to 0.24"}.
