What is an LPN label?
LPN stands for Licence Plate Number. An LPN label is a unique barcode label, such as a barcode, QR code or Data Matrix code, used to identify a specific pallet, box or crate. Each barcode is linked directly to detailed information within your Warehouse Management System (WMS), giving you quick and easy access to information about product type, quantity, serial numbers and current location of the storage or handling unit.
LPN labels, also known as URN labels or Handling Unit (HU) labels, are a key component of warehouse management and logistics operations. They enable warehouse operators to view complete item information with a single scan. This reduces processing time, improves productivity and minimises order picking errors. By using License Plate Number labels for temporary identification, you can manage internal track-and-trace processes more effectively and maintain real-time visibility of the location and status of pallets, cartons, reusable plastic warehouse bins and other storage equipment.

What is a pallet ID label?
A pallet ID label is a barcode label used to identify the pallet regardless of its contents. In many warehouses and distributrion centres, pallets are reused while the products stored on them change. In instances like these, a pallet ID label serves a similar purpose to a location label on warehouse racking. For example, a pallet containing 50 boxes is identified as PAL-89, while each individual box has its own barcode label linked to the warehouse management system (WMS).
Paper pallet labels are a popular choice for pallets used in temporary storage. They are cost-effective, easy to use for on-demand printing and ideal for short-term identification. When it comes to permanent pallet identification, ONE2ID offers a range of durable pallet label solutions designed for long-term warehouse use.
