(Summary description)Inventory and Shelf Labels

Shelf identification
Barcodes and other identifying data on warehouse shelves help ensure the smooth flow of logistics within a company. Thermal transfer printing technology is well-suited to deal with a wide variety of storage constraints in different warehouses.

 

In a warehouse or fulfillment center, shelf labels must be fully visible to the operator and readable by a barcode reader with a high degree of readability. This helps identify storage locations and enhances computerized inventory management and order picking processes.

 

Shelf Label Printing Constraints
Certain printing technologies are not suitable for the high temperature or humidity and dust levels of storage locations. Poorly printed or damaged labels run the risk of operator slack, unclear optical readers, and errors in generating inventory reports in computer systems.

 

Certain warehouses are open to the outdoors, exposing labels to attack from humidity, UV light and temperature changes. Storage of liquid products such as solvents can contaminate labels and damage printed information.


All of these factors should be considered when choosing a printing solution.

 

CISON's Shelf Label Printing Ribbon
Given the robustness of its print modules, thermal transfer is a reliable solution that can be installed directly in the warehouse or close to the site of use with low maintenance costs.

 

CISON's wax-based ribbons offer a competitive solution for printing entry-level paper labels commonly found on warehouse shelves.
If specific storage constraints require resistance to rubbing, high temperature, and moisture, wax-tree hybrid inks in combination with coated paper labels are recommended.
And finally, for the most extreme conditions, such as the storage of corrosive liquids, synthetic labels combined with resin inks should be chosen: a reliable solution for durable protection of prints.
