In the world of management it’s almost always true to say; “The Simplier, The Better”.  Less is more.

Take High Tack Labels, for instance – you might never have thought about them.  These labels barely warrant a second thought, but using high tack labels in place of standard labels could make your labelling better and your life easier. 

As the name suggests, high tack labels are a level above standard permanent labels, in terms of stickiness. 

The adhesive is extra sticky when you put it on the item and becomes even stronger once it’s set over the course of 24 hours. 

Some materials such as certain types of plastic or more commonly, wooden pallets and corrugated card, need a different type of label adhesive in order to stick securely.

We can help you with waterproof/scuff-proof plastic labels, matte paper, gloss paper and speciality labels all with High Tack adhesive.  In fact most label materials can be supplied with a high tack adhesive, with the exception of biodegradable or compostable labels.  We can also supply any colour, shape or size of label.

If your operation has problems with permanent labels falling off key items or you need labels that you can stick, with peace of mind, contact us for some high tack label samples for testing. 

Testing is important, as temperature can affect the performance of adhesive.  Try before you buy.

A “stock label” is essentially a blank label that’s ready to go without any extra costs for design or cutting.  They are generally in stock, ready to be shipped in one or two days.

These labels are made in bulk, keeping the expenses low since there’s no need for special design work or cutting equipment.

Although they have some limitations in terms of size, colours, and materials, when paired with your own printing system, these labels become quite flexible.

The only real restriction is the quality of your printer and label-making software.

They can be made from long-life, waterproof plastic (for rack labels for example) or low cost paper and can be used with desktop or larger industrial printers.

The beauty of these labels is that they can be used for various purposes.

They’re handy for categorising shelves, printing shipping and return labels, ensuring quality with traceable labels, and prominently displaying expiration dates. This helps prevent material waste and keeps consumers safe.

By integrating stock labels into your printing setup, you gain a practical solution for warehouse management.

It cuts down on waiting times and gives you the ability to produce more of a particular label type, putting you in control.

In a nutshell, stock labels, when used with your printing system, are a convenient, cost-effective and efficient way to manage warehouse label printing.

Electronic tags come in two types. 

• NFC (Near Field Communication) tags and
• RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) tags.

They use the same technology you find in your contactless payment cards. 

RFID labels have three advantages over Barcodes. 

1. First, they can contain much more data than a barcode or QR code. 
2. Secondly, they can be written to (barcodes can only be read from). 
3. Thirdly, technology exists where they can be protected from cloning.  Most barcodes can be copied quite easily.
   

How do Electronic Tags prevent counterfeiting?

They let people check if a product is real by checking in a database. The advantage electronic tags have over barcodes (which also point customers to a database on the internet) is that data about the item can be stored on the electronic tag.  No need to connect to the internet.

They make it easier to track items through the supply chain.

They make it more difficult to copy the item identity.

Holographic labels not only make your brand more recognisable, but they also add an extra layer of protection. They are easy to spot and have become a symbol of trust for famous products like those linked to the NBA and MLB.

These labels are difficult for counterfeiters to copy because they are complicated and expensive.

You can customise holographic labels to show pictures or serial numbers, which means you can protect your products while keeping your branding style. 

But beware: real holographic security labels can be expensive because they need special equipment to make. The set up costs are high, so to make hologram labels more cost-effective buy lots of labels when you order.
