Label Solutions that Work

Every detail matters in manufacturing, logistics, and warehouse operations. While barcode labels might seem like a minor component, they play a crucial role in ensuring the seamless flow of goods and information.

At Intermax, we understand that the quality of your barcode labels goes beyond just the printed image. It’s about the complete package: the label material, adhesive, and overall durability, all perfectly suited to the demands of your operations.

This article explores why selecting the right label solutions is essential for smooth operations and how Intermax’s expertise can help you avoid common challenges.

The Hidden Challenges of Labeling in Harsh Environments

Imagine environments where products are moved, stored, and tracked continuously, such as warehouses, manufacturing plants, or even construction sites. Every item has a label that carries essential information, from product codes to tracking details. However, labels face numerous challenges that can affect their performance.

  • Factors like extreme temperatures, moisture, rough handling, and exposure to chemicals can cause labels to fade, peel, or disintegrate. 
  • Even in specialized applications, like labeling underground pipes with QR codes containing installation details, these environmental factors play a critical role. 
  • When labels fail, it can lead to scanning errors, delays, and costly disruptions in operations.

The repercussions of poor labeling are far-reaching. A label that fails to adhere properly or becomes unreadable can halt operations, causing a ripple effect of delays. In environments where time is money, such disruptions can translate into significant financial losses.

Moreover, repeated scanning errors due to damaged labels can lead to inventory inaccuracies, complicating stock management and decision-making processes.

Why Label Quality Matters More Than You Think

Labels are more than just identifiers; they are the linchpins of operational efficiency.
  • High-quality labels ensure that every scan is accurate, facilitating smooth transitions from one stage of the process to the next.
  • Inaccurate or unreadable labels can cause mix-ups, slowdowns, and even safety hazards if they lead to incorrect product handling.

The true value of a label lies in its ability to withstand the environment in which it is used. This means selecting the right material, adhesive, and print quality for each specific application. For instance, labels in a warehouse must resist dust, handling, and temperature changes, while those in other environments, like refrigerated areas, must withstand cold and condensation.

The wrong label choice can quickly become a liability, compromising not just operations but also customer satisfaction and compliance with industry regulations.

Common Labeling Pitfalls and How to Avoid Them

Labeling issues can cause significant disruptions if not properly addressed.

Here are some common pitfalls and how Intermax can help you navigate them:
  1. Peeling Labels: Labels that peel off under challenging conditions often result from poor adhesive selection, leading to lost information and scanning errors. Intermax ensures that labels (with certain adhesive types) preselected by clients are suitable for their specific environments, keeping labels securely in place.
  2. Fading and Smudging: Labels exposed to harsh conditions can fade or smudge, making them unreadable. Intermax makes sure that labels are made of durable materials and inks that resist fading, ensuring that labels remain legible and effective throughout their use.
  3. Mismatched Materials: Choosing the wrong label material for the environment can lead to rapid degradation. Intermax’s expertise lies in advising on material selection based on environmental factors, helping clients choose labels that can withstand specific operational challenges. To ensure the best fit, we offer free material samples for testing to all customers before starting production, allowing you to validate the label’s performance in your specific conditions.
  4. Non-Compliance with Standards:Various industries have strict labeling requirements, especially in regulated sectors like pharmaceuticals and food. Intermax helps clients identify and select labels that meet all necessary standards, reducing the risk of compliance issues.
