How to Label your Warehouse Racking for Maximum Efficiency
Shelf labels are swiftly becoming a necessity in any warehouse labelling system. Industry experts are predicting that the rapid rate of growth in eCommerce will put even greater demands on supply chains in the future. This will mean more reliance on warehouse packing and storage facilities and expectations of next day or even same-day deliveries.
To meet these quick-turnaround deadlines, warehouse companies will need to be operating and dealing with products as efficiently as possible. This involves every stage of the process, particularly the accurate storage and swift retrieval of goods.
This is where bespoke and high-quality labelling comes in. Not only will this afford a great degree of organisation in the warehouse, but it will cut find-and-locate times by a vast amount, giving you back that precious time that could be spent elsewhere.
What are shelf labels?
This simple yet widely popular choice for warehouses is ideal for operations with smaller items. Shelf labels are used for labelling smaller sizes of racking, often with a more basic shelf layout scheme, making them the perfect choice for any storage system that involves large numbers of smaller items.
The way that shelf labels work is that the one shelf label will represent a single location. This makes them one of the most efficient methods on the market.
How to label warehouse racking with shelf labels
We always recommend that you first observe the current processes in the warehouse and confer with staff who will be scanning the shelf labels to enquire as to what works and what doesn’t work for them at the moment. This is the best method to ensure you install a comprehensive shelf labelling system that will improve staff performance rather than hinder it.
