Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers on warehouse labelling, barcode performance, and how Rack and Shelf Labels can support your operation.
Categories
What is a warehouse labeling system?
We assess your warehouse environment, storage setup, and operational workflows to understand how your labeling system needs to perform day to day.
How does a labelling system improve warehouse efficiency?
Clear, consistent labelling reduces mis-picks, improves picking speed, and helps staff navigate the warehouse more easily, leading to smoother day-to-day operations.
What types of labels are included in a warehouse labelling system?
A complete system typically includes rack labels, shelf labels, floor markings, barcode labels, and safety signage, all designed to work together as one structured system.
Do I need a full system or can I just order labels?
While you can order individual labels, most operations benefit from a structured system. This ensures consistency, reduces errors, and supports long-term performance.
Can you upgrade an existing labelling setup?
Yes. We regularly assess and improve existing systems, identifying gaps or inconsistencies and redesigning them to improve clarity, accuracy, and performance.
Why is barcode quality important in a warehouse?
Barcode quality directly impacts scanning reliability. Poor-quality barcodes can lead to scan failures, delays, and incorrect tracking of products.
What causes barcode scanning failures?
Common causes include poor print quality, incorrect sizing, low contrast, and label damage from environmental conditions like dust, moisture, or wear.
How do you ensure barcodes scan reliably?
We use certified barcode verification processes to test readability, accuracy, and durability, ensuring labels perform consistently in real warehouse environments.
What is barcode verification?
Barcode verification is the process of testing a barcode against recognised standards to ensure it can be accurately scanned throughout the supply chain.
Do your barcodes work with all warehouse systems?
Yes. Our barcodes are designed to integrate with standard warehouse management systems (WMS) and scanning equipment used across the industry.
What does it mean to be a GS1-certified partner?
As a GS1 Australia and GS1 US Executive Partner, we follow globally recognised barcode standards to ensure your labels are accurate, scannable, and compliant.
How does GS1 certification benefit my operation?
It ensures your barcodes meet global standards, improving traceability, reducing risk, and supporting compliance across the supply chain.
What is FSMA 204 and does it apply to my warehouse?
FSMA 204 is a US regulation focused on food traceability. If your operation handles products on the Food Traceability List, you must maintain accurate records and traceability data.
How do your systems support FSMA 204 compliance?
Our systems support accurate location tracking, reliable barcode scanning, and integration with your warehouse systems, helping you maintain traceable records and respond quickly to audits.
What are the risks of non-compliant barcodes?
Non-compliant barcodes can lead to traceability gaps, failed audits, operational delays, and increased risk during product recalls.
How do you design a warehouse labelling system?
We assess your layout, workflows, and operational needs, then design a structured system that clearly defines locations and supports efficient movement throughout the warehouse.
Do you customise systems for different warehouse types?
Yes. Every system is tailored to your environment, whether it’s a distribution centre, manufacturing facility, or multi-site operation.
What information is included on warehouse labels?
Labels typically include location identifiers, barcodes, and other relevant data needed for tracking and operational use.
Can your systems scale as our business grows?
Yes. We design systems that can expand with your operation, maintaining consistency across new areas or additional sites.
How long does it take to design a system?
Timelines vary depending on the size and complexity of the warehouse, but we work efficiently to deliver structured systems without unnecessary delays.
Do you provide installation services in the US?
Yes. We support installation and rollout across the United States to ensure labels are applied correctly and consistently.
Will installation disrupt our operations?
We plan installations carefully to minimise disruption and can work around your operational schedule where needed.
How do you ensure consistency during rollout?
We follow structured processes and quality checks to ensure labels are applied accurately and consistently across the entire facility.
Can you support multi-site rollouts?
Yes. We regularly deliver projects across multiple locations, ensuring consistency and standardisation across all sites.
What happens after installation?
We ensure everything is functioning as intended and can provide ongoing support if needed to maintain performance.
How durable are your warehouse labels?
Our labels are designed for harsh warehouse environments and are built to remain readable and scannable over time.
What conditions can your labels withstand?
They are resistant to dust, moisture, temperature changes, and general wear from daily operations.
What materials do you use for labels?
We use high-performance materials selected based on your environment and application to ensure long-term durability.
Do labels fade or peel over time?
Not when properly specified. We select materials and adhesives designed to maintain performance over the long term.
How do you choose the right label for my environment?
We assess your warehouse conditions and recommend materials and formats that will perform reliably in your specific environment.
Can you standardise labelling across multiple warehouse locations?
Yes. We design structured labelling systems that maintain consistency across multiple facilities, ensuring your teams work with the same logic, formats, and standards in every location.
How do you ensure consistency across different sites?
We create centralised system designs, specifications, and naming conventions that are applied consistently across all sites, reducing confusion and improving operational efficiency.
Can your labelling systems scale as our operation grows?
Absolutely. Our systems are designed to expand with your business, whether you’re adding new warehouse zones, opening additional sites, or increasing operational complexity.
Do you support national or multi-site rollouts in the US?
Yes. We support multi-site projects across the United States, ensuring consistent implementation, quality control, and performance across every location.
How do you manage large or complex rollouts?
We take a structured approach, including planning, system design, verification, and staged rollout, to ensure accuracy, minimise disruption, and maintain consistency at scale.
