5 Ways to Label Metal Shelving in Warehouses
1.
2. There are quite a few ways to label your shelving, and
it can be hard to choose the best method.
If you're unfamiliar with the options or you can't decide
which kind to pick, here is a quick rundown of the
options and their pros and cons.
4. The first method for labeling
shelving that comes to mind is
using the stick-on type.
They are usually made of paper
(sometimes laminated) or plastic.
5. Blank stick-ons offer some opportunity for
customization because you can write whatever you
need to on them.
However, all stick-ons do have the same drawback:
removing them is a huge pain.
6. Often users will be forced to just put the new ones
over the old ones, which doesn't always work.
Removing a sticker, even if you get all of the paper off,
can leave a sticky residue that attracts dirt and dust.
8. Sticky residue aside, another stick-on option would be
printed labels.
Whether you print them yourself or order them, these
can be handy if you need to label a lot of shelves with
the same names, or plan to reuse the same names
over and over.
9. However, there are still drawbacks.
Many labelmakers only print out small strips, which
can be difficult to read quickly or from afar.
The last thing you want is to have to pause and
decipher it while holding a heavy box.
11. Unlike the previous two options, magnetic labels don't
leave any sticky residue and are a snap to remove
from metal shelving.
However, they are still susceptible to wear and tear
because they are not protected.
12. The biggest downfall is that they are expensive to
replace, unlike paper ones.
Getting them professionally printed will cost you a
pretty penny, and that can rule them out for most
warehouse owners because of the sheer volume.
required to keep shelves organized properly.
14. These are a great way to protect paper labels from
damage.
They also allow them to be replaced quickly and easily
by simply removing them from the plastic pocket.
15. Indeed, they are a popular choice among warehouse
owners for these reasons, but like the blank and
printed paper ones, they still have a couple of
downsides.
Removing them can result in the aforementioned
sticky residue, but unlike stickers, you can't put a new
pocket over an old one.
16. This makes the residue unavoidable, which is a big
drawback.
Adhesive pockets are also prone to falling off of
shelves over time because their additional weight is
too stressful for the adhesive.
18. The ultimate solution for many warehouse owners is to
put their vulnerable paper labels in magnetic holders.
This method combines the customizability and low
expense of paper labels with the convenience of
magnetic ones.
19. A magnetic vinyl pocket allows for easy replacement
without leaving any residue or running up the bill.
These magnetic vinyl pockets are a one-time expense
that helps to keep future costs down, and that's
something every business owner loves to hear.
20. Plus, they never fall off like adhesive ones because
magnets never lose their sticking power.
