Barcode labels are an important part of an efficiently run warehouse, whether the facility is a manufacturing operation, distribution center or third-party logistics fulfillment center.
“Labels keep a warehouse organized,” said Malcolm Aitken, vice president of sales at ID Label. “They help to track and manage inventory, so warehouse operators know exactly where raw goods, pallet loads, or individual products are located. They facilitate timely shipping and receiving. And in e-commerce facilities, labels are essential to fulfilling orders correctly, which reduces returns and lowers operational costs.”
