Do your freezer labels come off quickly?
Our labels stay put, even at -55ยบC
Why use freezer labels?
If you have experienced working in a cold storage or refrigerated warehouse, you know that labels made from standard label materials do not stick to the shelves for long. Oftentimes, the adhesive freezes before youโve even had time to apply the label, rendering the labels useless. ONE2ID has a range of materials, especially suited to these challenging conditions, so you can be assured of long-term legibility of your freezer labels.
Freezer racking labels
Barcode labels that are used in industrial freezers or refrigerated warehouses must be able to withstand very low temperatures for an extended period of time in order for you to efficiently do your job. However, before deciding on a particular type of label material, you need to consider the temperature at which you are going to apply the rack and shelf labels.
Our polypropylene โFreezerโ labels are suitable for low temperature application (-25ยบC) and are designed to withstand temperatures as low as -55ยบC. This means, you can apply this type of material on your pallet racking,ย shelf labels and any other type of racking locations when your warehouse or freezer is already in use.
If, on the other hand, your refrigerated or cold storage warehouse is not yet in use, other label materials, such as polyester, are also a suitable option. Even though a polyester label can only be applied at a temperature of +10ยบC and up, its very strong adhesive can withstand temperatures as low as -40ยบC. We can customize your freezer labels to suit different locations in your warehouse, such as order picking locations, inventory and storage locations andย pallet racking. In terms of color, you can choose yellow, white or multicoloured labels, with or without a barcode.
Fixed or variable locations
Another consideration when choosing a label material for any refrigerated warehouse is the type of location: fixed or variable. Locations that change frequently, for example in the case of shelving units, benefit most from the use of magnetic labels.
Our anisotropic magnets have a very powerful magnetic field that adheres extremely well to, for instance, rough and uneven surfaces. This type of freezer label can be applied at -25ยบC and is easy to remove and reapply.
Freezer labels on the warehouse floor
Making sure yourย warehouse floor locations have proper identification is a challenge under normal circumstances.
When forklifts and reach trucks continuously move pallets and goods across the floor, it increases the risk of damage to the floor labels.ย However, refrigerated and cold storage facilities have one additional obstacle to take into account: the temperature. ONE2ID offers two smart solutions.
Floor frame extreme
First, our โFloor Frame Extreme Outdoorโ, a metal frame that can withstand harsh working environments and heavy warehouse traffic. The only caveat is that the frame requires floor mounting with heavy duty concrete screws. Using an industrial sealant is not possible, as the sealant loosens over time in freezer environments due to low temperatures and condensation.
Location sign
The second solution we can provide, is the use of warehouse signs forย bulk storageย locations, instead of freezer labels. We can custom design L-shaped or V-shaped location signs with powerful magnetic screws, which are ideally suited for use in cold rooms and refrigerated warehouses. Simply click the signs to the ceiling or metal wall and remove them again whenever the situation calls for it.
Test your freezer labels
Before purchasing labels for your warehouse locations, we recommend testing the desired material in your specific work environment. This applies in particular to cold storage and refrigerated warehouses. We will be happy to send you samples of freezer labels so you can determine whether or not the material suits your needs.
