Custom Mailing Labels for Shipping Facilities

Filed under Custom Labels

Custom shipping labels come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and even colors for the wide variety of uses that a business may need. It is important to make sure that the custom mailing labels being ordered are the best size and have the right features for the shipping facility or warehouse that will be using them. For instance, if a shipping warehouse only uses one size of box, then it makes sense to only get the one size of custom shipping labels (such as fold under labels) that will fit properly on the box. However, if a business ships their products or orders in a wide variety of sizes of boxes or packaging, then different-sized labels need to be ordered. Having the right size for boxes that are processed at shipping facilities do more than just "look right". They also help cut down on processing times (employees and/or machines don't have to force a label to fit or apply it perfectly so it doesn't fall off) and may eventually cut down on costs because small labels may be a lesser cost, therefore reducing large inventory and waste. Ordering the custom shipping labels for a shipping facility has several steps, the first being measuring the dimensions of all the boxes used and then comparing them to the available custom mailing label sizes. Next, shipping and processing numbers need to be reviewed-- how many labels need to be ordered initially to make sure that a warehouse stays in-stock for a pre-determined amount of time? Once these figures are ironed out, it's time to order the labels. Many online printing service companies will require a minimum order, so that needs to be accounted for, as well as how many labels are in each box and the overall cost of the labels. Comparing prices will ensure that a company gets the best deal.  

Initializing Integrated Labels in the Shipping Process

Filed under Custom Labels

Integrated labels can be a great new product to start using in the original shipping process at a shipping warehouse or even a busy business office. No matter the needs and amount of shipping label form, like integrated labels, are needed, becoming smarter about the shipping processes by using products that can save time and money are always worth looking into.   Before ordering a minimum order of integrated labels, it may be worth asking for a sample from the printing service that the company is going to order from, like My1Stop.com. In most cases, a customer service representative or salesperson will be happy to send out a sample of an integrated label so the company can make sure that they like the look and feel of the product before deciding to order it to use regularly in their place of business.   Once it's decided that integrated labels can be used to replace a traditional shipping label form, the online order should be placed. After the labels are received, the company will need to train all the employees that deal with the shipping process or printing the labels on how to utilize them correctly. Proper training initially will ensure that the adoption of the new labels will be eased into the daily shipping and packaging process much easier.   During the initial adoption process, one supervisor or employee (or a group, depending on the size of the company) should be designated as training experts. Other employees with questions on the use of the integrated labels can ask these extensively-trained experts, which may be better able to help than a fellow employee with is also learning the new product at the same time. Employees are usually also more comfortable with new products if they know there are knowledgeable colleagues who can help them as they learn and get acquainted with the new labels.

Designing Custom Labels With Other Marketing Materials

Filed under Custom Labels

Custom labels are great options to use on promotional and mailing materials (along with on products themselves) because they are usually available in a variety of shapes and sizes, and even some are full color labels. This is great news to marketers and advertising specialists within a company, as they can design a custom label suite to go with their overall marketing material design and campaign. Label printing can usually be done in conjunction with other marketing material printing, depending on the company and what materials are needed. Having an overall cohesive look that flows from the flyers, to the products, and then the custom labels, can look a lot more professional and create a longer-lasting impression on the intended audience and consumer base. In order to make sure the custom labels are in line with the design of the other marketing materials, be sure to have the designer use the exact same colors (finding these out is simple with the Eyedropper tool on Photoshop) and have the same design elements. Similar design elements that should be included are any logos or strong lines or graphic art that is featured on other marketing materials or the actual products. Because most people will identify the strongest parts of the design first, these are what should be absolutely included into any design elements of all the surrounding marketing materials. If these include clip art or custom illustrations, these are usually relatively easy to re-size or copy over to a new design template from the previous initial marketing material design. If a company isn't sure how to blend their existing marketing material designs with a new custom label order, hiring a graphic designer or working with a designer at the label printing service is the best way to ensure that the label matches the overall design efforts of the marketing campaign.
