How efficient is your warehouse? When is the last time you took a good look at the rack and aisle labels in your warehouse? If it seems like it is taking a while for orders to get filled, chances are it is not because the employees are intentionally slow.
As warehouse labels age, such as rack and bin labels and vertical aisle signs, they lose their scannability and visibility. This causes slowdowns on stocking orders and even confusion about where the proper materials are or where they go.
So now you have to consider what it will take to replace all those labels. Who is experienced at properly replacing all those labels? How much time will it take? Will it interfere with getting orders out on time?
Hiring our specialists to remove the old labels and signs and install the new is more efficient and will save you in the end. Our specialists can look around and tell specifically what your warehouse will need. They can quickly and accurately install every label and sign, using their equipment, at a time that is most convenient to you and your operations.

Reasons to Upgrade Your Warehouse
With the rise of omnichannel shopping and enhanced technology, it is essential to create a warehouse that can keep up with the increasing demands. Labels can become outdated and worn out, causing scanners to misread and visual indicators to fade. Updating your labels and signs increases accuracy and efficiency.
Perhaps it’s time to expand your existing warehouse or even build a new one. Hiring a specialist can get your labels and signs installed right the first time. If your facility is moving to a new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system or a Warehouse Management System (WMS). The new software systems require up-to-date technology systems for proper inventory management.
Hiring a Specialist vs Doing it Yourself
Your warehouse can have over half a million rack labels and signs. Installing thousands of sequential labels and signs requires precision printing, knowledge, and specialized equipment. Codes on labels and signs gain complexity as technology advances. Do you have a specialized printer that can check the quality on every full-color, scannable barcode?
When printing and installing warehouse labels and signs yourself, there are several pitfalls to look out for, which can create costly mistakes. These can include:
- Properly naming locations
- Mislabeling bins and racks
- Ensuring scannability of labels using retro-reflective labels
- Quality checking the scannability of labels
- Color-coded identification
- Sequential label order mistakes
- Safety when hanging signs from the ceiling
- Label and sign durability
- Length of time to complete the project
- Taking labor away from filling orders and training them on how to properly install labels and signs.
Having it done right by hiring our specialists saves you time and prevents costly mistakes. What you thought could have been a simple job can end up costing you more with reprints and take much longer than expected to correct errors made.
