“I hadn’t realized how important the sorting of the data is to the actual application. Frankie saved us at least a day’s worth of headaches. I’ll never look elsewhere.”

What goes on the label
| Field | Why it is there |
|---|---|
| Client color or code | Keeps one client’s slots and totes apart from the next |
| Location code | The slot your WMS sends a picker to |
| Check digit | Read back on voice picks to confirm the slot |
| Barcode sized for the scanner | Placed where a finger scanner reaches at the pick face |
| Directional arrow | Up or down to the bin the label belongs to |
| Tote, cart, or pallet ID | Ties the container to the order in your WMS |
| Prefix | Separates clients, buildings, or container types in one series |
| Zone or lane name | Returns, staging, overflow, and outbound doors |
We keep each client’s format, prefix, and color exactly as their slot list has it.
New clients, zones & re-slots
3PL warehouse labels, color-coded so pickers stay in the right client’s zone.
Bringing on a client means carving out a zone, loading the slot list into the WMS, and training pickers before go-live. We print that zone’s labels from the slot list, with the client’s color on every one.
For zones that change hands, use magnetic labels you can move, or removable labels made to come off.
- A color band or a full-color label per client or zone
- Client prefixes in the location code, if your WMS uses them
- Hanging zone signs in the client’s color
Pick faces, bins & carton flow
Bin location labels built for the way your pickers scan.
Each-pick shelving packs hundreds of locations into a few aisles. One wrong scan sends the wrong item to your client’s customer.
- Shelf, bin, drawer, carton flow, and pick module labels
- Barcodes placed for finger scanners, with arrows to the bin above or below
- Check digits your voice pickers read back
- Small-parts labels sized to fit the shelf edge
- Layouts for sequential and partial picking
Totes, carts & pallet IDs
Tote labels and license plate labels, numbered from your start value.
Every tote, cart, and pallet needs an ID your WMS can tie to an order, printed in sequence with your prefix and check digit.
- Sequential numbers with prefixes by client, building, or container type
- Code 128, GS1-128, QR, or Data Matrix, with a human-readable number
- Numbering that continues the totes already on your floor
- Samples to try on your totes before the full run
Returns, staging & outbound
Floor locations for returns, staging, and outbound lanes.
Returns and outbound staging often have no racks, so the location goes on the floor. A barcoded floor marker turns a returns area or a staging lane into a location your WMS can scan, in the same client colors as the racks.
- 10 mil markers with a 3M slip-resistant over-laminate, built for forklifts, pallet jacks, and carts
- Location codes, arrows, and client colors printed on the marker
- Hanging signs so returns and staging areas are easy to find from across the floor
- Pressure-sensitive backing for marking new lanes without special tools
Printers, label stock & ribbon
Printers and label stock for the shipping labels your WMS prints.
Your WMS prints the carton and shipping labels. We supply the barcode printers, die-cut label stock, and ribbon it prints on, and help you choose the equipment.
- Barcode printers and software systems
- Die-cut label stock and ribbon matched to your printers
- Ongoing support once the printers are running
- Introductions to integrators when the project needs one
How it works
Start with the new client’s slot list and the tote or pallet range you need.
1
Send the slot list
The client’s locations from your WMS, the color or prefix you want for them, and the tote, cart, or pallet numbers to continue.
2
We match your WMS formats
Location string, check digits, symbology, and prefixes, laid out to scan the way your pickers work.
3
You approve a proof
Nothing prints until the layout and the numbering are right. Test samples on your own totes and shelving first.
4
Sequenced for the install
Labels come packaged in the order your team applies them, zone by zone. A new client’s area goes up without sorting.
