5 Reasons Why Industrial Labels are an Essential Part of Any Industry

 

Industrial labels not only play an important role in weighing, marking, pricing and labelling in the food industry, but they are also vital in any business that employs staff. Whether you are the owner of a light industry business, run a single retail store or are the procurement director of a chain of outlets, accurate marking of goods plays an essential role in everyday business.

In this article, the weighing and labelling specialists at Teraoka demonstrate how to improve organisation and efficiency with the use of industrial labels.

 

How to Improve Efficiency and Organisation Using Industrial Labels

 

Apart from the accurate weighing, labelling and pricing of food products, many other industries have a need for industrial labels. They keep various aspects of the premises, company equipment and stock organised, allowing staff to work and operate efficiently. Here are five examples:

 

1. Regulatory Compliance:

   Government departments and organisations such as the Health and Safety Regulatory Council (HSRC), Department of Health (DoH) and the South African Bureau of Standards (SABS) often require  and elements in and around the workplace for your business to remain compliant, especially when dealing with food or hazardous chemicals.

 

2. Emergency Equipment:

   In the event of a medical emergency or other events that may threaten the lives of employees, there is no time for guessing. Staff should be well versed in the various safety procedures in the event of an emergency. However, using industrial labels to mark vital equipment in the first aid kit or marking fire-fighting equipment could save time and lives.

 

3. Organisation:

   Many facilities use industrial labelling to organise their warehouse, pantries, fridges, freezers, and other storage areas. It simplifies finding ingredients and stock and marks where items belong. A little creativity could improve cost control and shrinkage, especially by marking ownership on more removable company equipment like janitorial and maintenance equipment, for example.

 

4. Tracking Movable Assets:

   Company equipment like laptops and other electronic equipment, motor vehicles and delivery trucks are easily identified by marking them with quality industrial labels. It is easier than searching for VIN or other identification numbers and, because of their self-adhesive properties, they are difficult to remove. Additionally, these items are less likely to get lost because of the details on the label.

 

5. Internal Stock Movement:

   Many companies have several work areas, and sometimes there is much movement of stock, ingredients and other materials between these different departments. Similar to marking ownership, industrial labelling can be used to mark the origin of certain items.
