Customised pallet racking labels

A warehouse with a proper layout is an essential part of the logistics process. This includes efficient driving and walking routes, clear stock management and, of course, clear identification of your pallet racks, flow racks, drive-in racks, cantilever racks and order picking locations. ONE2ID, being a specialist in manufacturing location labels for logistical applications, can help you improve efficiency.

Our production team can manufacture your pallet racking labels to suit your needs. If you visit our knowledge base you will find a selection of the label designs we have already designed for our customers. In order to determine which type of design best suits your warehouse, our label  experts will schedule a meeting with you on MS Teams. We will use this meeting to make an assessment of your work situation and talk about your wishes when it comes to labelling. Some of the subjects we will discuss, include:

Pallet racks

  • What is the type of racking?

Beams and uprights

  • What is the width of the uprights?
  • What does the beam profile look like?

Warehouse labels

  • Which type of label do you use now?
  • Which label material do you use now?
  • What is your preferred label design?

Scanning

  • What is the scanning distance?
  • Which light sources do you use?
  • Which type of scanner do you use?

As you can tell, our aim is to make your work easier and help you save money. In order to achieve this, we analyse your barcodes to see how we can shape the number of characters into a location code, which can be clearly read and recognised by your order pickers. If you'd like, we can also tell you about the advantages of working with multi-coloured pallet rack labels. Do you prefer to use standard yellow warehouse labels instead? We will be happy to custom design these for you.

Colour-coded barcode labels

The dynamic 24-hour society we live in puts great demands on the planning processes in warehouses and distribution centres. There is an ever-growing need for faster delivieries which puts even more pressure on increasing your logistical output, which in turn increases the risk of unwanted errors due to fatigued and stressed out employees. By colour-coding your pallet racking labels, you can relieve some of the pressure, help reduce the number of errors and improve the day-to-day order flow.

Our client totalBED has been working with colour-coded pallet rack labels for several years now. In the video below, the director of operations and the warehouse manager share their experiences of working with colour-coding and the positive changes it has made their to day-to-day operations.

How do colour-coded pallet racking labels work?

1

Multicolour barcode label

Apply the custom multi-colour pallet racking label to the lower load beam so your operators are able to scan the label.
2

Level colours

Apply the corresponding level colours to the higer beams. The distinctive colours ensure quick and effective identification.
3

Improve work efficiency

Thanks to the convenience of colour recognition, your operators become less stressed. They stay more alert and are less prone to making mistakes.
4

Positive results

The number of errors in order picking and putting away pallets decreases, resulting in an increased number of satisfied customers.

We can also design level colours with barcodes should you need to scan the upper levels of your pallet racking., e.g. example if you work with camera reach trucks or narrow aisle trucks (VNA). If your warehouse combines pallet locations with shelf locations, our designers can integrate both into one label design.

“I specifically chose these type of labels. You have to keep things simple so that for e.g. temp workers can immediately recognise that blue represents level 2.”

Which label material do you need?

We can use as many as 9 different materials to print your chosen label design on, depending on the requirements of your workenvironment. To determine which label material is best suited to your warehouse, we consider two main criteria: the type of racking and the ambient temperature. The cominatie of both these criteria determine the type of label material we recommend. Some examples:

ONE2ID pallet rack labels magnets multilevel

Permanent and removable

Powder-coated racks are surfaces you can use a wide variety of label materials on as opposed to racks with hot-rolled beams. For pallet racks with powder-coated beams, a permanent polypropylene label with long-term adhesion is sufficient at a normal ambient temperature. We can also supply the same material as a removable and reusable label.
ONE2ID freezer labels cold storage warehouse rack labels

Freezer label

Do you work in a refrigerated or cold storage warehouse with (extremely) low temperatures? Then our Freezer label is the perfect solution for your powder-coated beams. You can apply this Freezer label at a temperature of -25ºC while it can withstand temperatures as low as -55ºC.

Magnets

Nowadays, we also see galvanised racks being used more in warehouses, either with or without rivets. In most cases, you cannot use regular labels on galvanised pallet racking. Instead, we recommend using high-performance magnetic labels. By using magnets you ensure long-term use of your labels .
Block Out cover-up warehouse label ONE2ID

Block Out and retro-reflective

If you want to hide existing pallet racking labels, our Block Out labels are the right choice. These specialty labels have a black coating, which hides the information on the underlying label. If your racking labels are placed high up, you can also use retro reflective labels for up to 4 times faster scanning.
