How can ik schedule an appointment?

You can call us at +31 (0)172 769 123 or send us an mail to schedule an appointment. Most often, we start with a MS Teams meeting to discuss your requirements.

Warehouse labels

What type of warehouse labels can I order from ONE2ID?

We design and manufacture (barcode) labels for various warehouse locations and applications, such as:

We also manufacture customised warehouse labels for locations that require a specific type of label, such as cantilever racks and cold storage.

Why do we supply your pre-printed labels on rolls?

That question is a pretty easy one to answer: to save you time. By delivering your pre-printed labels on rolls instead of stacks you benefit from some time-saving advantages:

  • You have all the labels to hand on a convenient roll in the exact order of your database.
  • You do not have to search for the right label but instead, you can label each rack, bin or location fast and efficiently.
  • There is no need to peel each individual label away from the liner, as the labels are printed side by side on the roll.
  • You are not left with hundreds of individual liners you have to throw out.
  • There is no risk of labels getting mixed up, which can happen if stacks of individual labels happen to fall over.
What is the best way to install warehouse labels?

Below are some useful tips that will help extend the lifespan of your labels, to ensure long-term readability and scannability.

  • Remove any existing labels from the surface or smooth them down before applying the new labels.
  • Always make sure to apply the labels to a clean, dry surface that is free of grease and oils. That way the adhesive can attach itself to the surface more firmly.
  • Make sure newly painted surfaces have had proper time to dry to prevent lingering fumes and gases from lifting the labels off the surface.
  • After applying the label, put pressure on it so the adhesive spreads well across both the surface and the label material.
  • Take note of the surrounding temperature when applying labels. Pressure-sensitive adhesive adheres more easily to warm as opposed to cold surfaces. When the adhesive comes in contact with a warm surface, it spreads more quickly which enhances both the size of the adhesive surface and the peel strength.
  • When installing rack labels, use specialised tools to place the labels at the same height, e.g. a template or ruler, as demonstrated in the video below.
Which installation tools do you recommend?
We sell various installation tools for applying labels, location signs and floor frames. Ask your consultant for more information when requesting a quote or placing your order.

Print your own labels

How easy is it to design my own barcode labels?

You can create your own barcodes with Loftware NiceLabel's easy-to-use label design software. Loftware NiceLabel has the right software package for you, whether you want to print 50 or 50,000 labels. Download a free trial version here.

You can easily add barcodes, QR or datamatrix codes, numbers, lines, frames and texts to your labels and print your labels instantly. Just make sure you use the right barcode for your application. In some situations, a standard 1D barcode, also known as a barcode, is the right solution, while a 2D code (datamatrix or QR code) is preferable in other situations. Want to know more about barcodes? Ask one of our consultants.

Can I order blank labels from ONE2ID?

At ONE2ID, you can choose from a range of more than 1,800 blank labels for printing your own barcode labels. Let us know what size you need, what type of material, what colour and how many, and we will deliver your labels when you need them.

Our blank labels can be printed using thermal transfer printers from well-known brands such as Zebra, SATO, Intermec, Altec, Brady, Toshiba, Datamax, TSC, Avery, Honeywell, Canon and Citizen. So whether you use a tabletop printer, a midrange or an industrial printer, we can supply you with blank labels you can use with your own printer.

Visit our label shop to decide what material you need, what size and what colour and we will send you a non-binding quote.

How can I laminate my own labels?

The majority of the pre-printed labels we manufacture are laminated. A laminate provides long-term protection against scratches, mechanical damage, chemicals, oils, UV and changing weather conditions.

Would you like to print and laminate your own labels? Then our PALLabel with its clever design may be the way to go. This particular label has a laminate attached, allowing you to place the laminate over the label directly after printing. A perfect solution for asset tags or type plates on tools, machines, car parts and as a track & trace label.

Do you sell printers?

We supply thermal transfer printers from our partners CAB and TSC. If you want to design your own barcode labels, we recommend a software package from the renowned Loftware NiceLabel. This label design software is easy to use and can be used with the most commonly used thermal transfer printers.

If needed, we can also supply printer ribbons, and Labelmate rewinders and unwinders to make the printing process even easier for you.

Label materials

What are the standard label sizes?

Our blank label standard sizes vary depending on the material. In our label shop you will find an overview of the available sizes for each label material.

All of our warehouse labels are custom-designed to your wishes. Are you looking for a specific label size for your racking, shelves or crates? Then contact one of our consultants to discuss the options.

Is it possible to test the label materials?
We always recommend testing the label material under the actual conditions for which you will use the labels. This way, you will know for sure whether the material is best suited to your application and work environment. For free label samples, simply fill out our sample form or call +31 (0)172 769 123 and request the label material you wish to test. Not sure which label material you need? Our consultants are on hand to answer your questions and offer advice.
Do you also custom design labels?
Custom-made labels are our speciality. Our production team designs blank labels and preprinted barcode labels for both logistics and industrial applications according to your requirements. Take a look at some of our label designs for warehouse labels to see what we can do for you.

Ordering and shipping

What is your minimum order quantity?
The minimum order quantity of the blank label materials in our standard range depends on the type of label material you order. For example, you can order 1 roll of some materials, whereas others have a minimum order quantity of 5. For customised logistics labels, we do not apply a minimum order quantity. As always, the more you order, the better the price. Please contact us for more information or a non-binding quote.
What is the delivery time of my order?
Delivery time depends on the size of the project and how quickly you are able to make decisions within your company. The faster we get your approval on the quote, database and label design, the faster our production team can schedule and manufacture your order. The production of large logistics orders takes around 3 weeks on average, while we can produce smaller orders for you within 2 working days.
