How Piggyback Labels Can Make Warehouse Management Easier
How Piggyback Labels Can Make Warehouse Management Easier
Ultra sticky, high tack adhesive labels are very important in warehouses where losing a label can make extra work for you. Also – I want to show you something you might not have come across before and show how you can benefit from them: Piggyback labels.
Let’s take a look at high tack and piggyback labels for warehouses.
High Tack Labels
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.
PiggyBack Labels
Now, let’s delve into PiggyBack Labels. Piggyback labels are also known as dual-layer or Tandem labels. Imagine them as a collective of smaller labels hitching a ride on a larger counter part — a practical approach not just for keeping similar labels organised together, but also for enhancing efficiency in warehouses and packaging processes.
These sub-labels, printed with barcodes or tracking codes, can transform into a kind of item journey log. It shows where the item has been and where it’s going to go.
Piggyback labels are usually made from paper and can be printed over – either on a printing press or using a thermal transfer (or direct thermal) printer (Learn what a thermal printer is here). If you need colour print, piggy back labels can be overprinted with a colour label printer.
In a warehouse setting piggy back labels are the perfect solution for tracking items going to different storage areas.
You can use piggy back labels for tracking and managing inventory with a primary label for product information and a secondary label for tracking different components.
For shipping labels – the address or tracking code section of a piggyback label can be taken off and attached to a manifest, for example.
Talk to us if you have a project that you think Piggyback labels might be the solution.
In conclusion, PiggyBack Labels not only keep things organised but also act as smart trackers, making it easy for people to follow the rules and making the management of a complex warehouse easier.
