In many distribution centers, full pallet loads are shrink-wrapped to secure individual cases to the pallet. These pallets are then stored in designated rack bay locations, each identified with a barcode label, until they’re ready for shipping.
One efficient solution for tracking these pallet loads is the use of “wrap-around” LPN labels. These dual barcode labels wrap around the corner of a pallet, providing several key benefits for warehouse operations.
Why Choose Wrap-Around Labels?
- High Visibility – Wrap-around labels are easily visible from two angles, allowing workers to quickly and easily locate them. With two labels per pallet, each side has a scannable label, enhancing operational efficiency.
- Accurate Scanning – These labels are large and easy to spot, facilitating quick and accurate scans. They also feature large human-readable numbers or letters, improving verification and accuracy.
- Enhanced Inventory Management – Wrap-around barcode labels support the needs of modern smart warehouses, driving efficiency, speed, automation, and accuracy in inventory tracking and management.
Additionally, another reason LPN labels are applied to palletised loads is due to the varying designs and configurations of pallets used by customers. Typical pallet markers cannot easily be fitted to the corners of pallets unless there is some form of standardization, such as using Euro or ISO pallets (GKN-Chep), where there is consistency in the pallet blocks.
Integrating wrap-around labels into your warehouse operations can significantly streamline your inventory processes and improve overall operational efficiency. Upgrade your pallet tracking system today with wrap-around labels for a smarter, more efficient warehouse.
