- <\/span>Colour-coded labels<\/span><\/a>Barcode labels are rack labels<\/a> that use colour as a visual code to identify zones, processes, or inventory categories. These types of labels help you to improve speed and picking and storing accuracy while also reducing human error in the warehouse due to their intuitive system.<\/dfn><\/li>
f<\/h2><\/li>
- <\/span>Floor Identification Plates<\/span><\/a>Identification system made of rigid metal plates placed on the warehouse floor to define pallet or storage zones, aisles or traffic routes. These plates offer higher durability than simple floor labels and clearly mark fixed positions. They are made to endure forklift traffic, cleaning, and spills, they help enforce organisation and safety floor plans.<\/dfn><\/li>
- <\/span>Freezer grade labels<\/span><\/a>Adhesive barcode labels made to perform in low-temperature environments, such as cold storage or freezer areas. They remain legible and securely attached even in sub-zero conditions. <\/dfn><\/li>
h<\/h2><\/li>
- <\/span>Hanging signs<\/span><\/a>Hanging signs<\/span> are used in bulk storage areas either in conjunction with or as an alternative to floor-mounted location plates, particularly when floor access may be obstructed by pallets. These signs are specifically designed to maintain clear identification in areas where floor markings are not consistently visible.<\/dfn><\/li>
l<\/h2><\/li>
- <\/span>Label holders<\/span><\/a>Clear plastic sleeves are designed to attach to shelving using pre-applied double-sided tape or by clipping onto metal mesh placed over shelving beams. The key advantage of these systems is their flexibility—allowing easy repositioning of inserted tags. This is particularly useful in areas where the type or quantity of stored products may frequently change. <\/dfn><\/li>
- <\/span>Line marking \/ Warehouse line marking<\/span><\/a>Painted lines on the warehouse floor that delineate traffic lanes, storage zones, safety areas, or workspaces. They guide staff and machinery flow and clarify functional divisions in your warehouse. Lines are created using highly durable UV-cured paint which is successfully used in cool-rooms and areas requiring immediate access to the painted markings.<\/dfn><\/li>
m<\/h2><\/li>
- <\/span>Magnetic labels<\/span><\/a>Reusable labels with magnetic backing that attach to metal surfaces. Locations are printed directly onto the magnetic surfaces, making this type of identification solution ideal for dynamic storage areas where labels need to be moved or updated regularly. <\/dfn><\/li>
p<\/h2><\/li>
- <\/span>Pallet racking labels<\/span><\/a>
Widerstandsfähige Etiketten, die speziell für Palettenregale entwickelt wurden. Sie kennzeichnen Palettenplätze, Regalebenen oder Regalfelder und enthalten meist sowohl Barcodes als auch Ziffern zur schnellen Erfassung und präzisen Bestandsverfolgung.<\/p>\n<\/dfn><\/li>
r<\/h2><\/li>
- <\/span>Racking labels<\/span><\/a>
Barcodeetiketten, die direkt an Lagerregalen angebracht werden, um Lagerpositionen zu kennzeichnen. Sie ermöglichen das schnelle Scannen und Auffinden von Produkten und steigern die Kommissioniergeschwindigkeit und Genauigkeit.<\/p>\n<\/dfn><\/li>
s<\/h2><\/li>
- <\/span>Safety Signs<\/span><\/a>Visual warnings or instructions related to health and safety, such as “Caution: Forklift Traffic” or “Wear PPE.” These signs help reduce accidents and support legal compliance.<\/dfn><\/li>
- <\/span>Shelf Labels<\/span><\/a>Large-format signs that are attached at the end of rack aisles. They show important information such as shelf bay numbers, safety information or directions at a glance. <\/dfn><\/li>
u<\/h2><\/li>
- <\/span>Upright, column or summary labels<\/span><\/a>Upright labels are fixed vertically on rack uprights (posts) to clearly display bay numbers or rack IDs that can’t be scanned at a higher level. <\/dfn><\/li>
w<\/h2><\/li>
- <\/span>Warehouse signs<\/span><\/a>Mounted signs that clearly display essential information like bay numbers, section names, or directional instructions. They support rapid navigation, reduce errors, and improve team coordination. For example, end-of-aisle signs are large-format signs placed at the end of racking rows, used to indicate bay numbers, safety info, or other key data at a glance.<\/dfn><\/li><\/ul><\/div>
