More than just simply applying a sticker

  • 12 September 2024

Labeling a product is more than just applying a sticker. There are many factors to consider when choosing the right labeling system. Determining the right criteria in advance prevents the labeling system from becoming a bottleneck in your production line.

The selection criteria

Of course, there are often situation-specific criteria that come into play when choosing the right labeling system. Criteria that come into play in many cases: 

  • the label itself
  • speed
  • flexibility
  • ease of operation
  • space
  • future requirements

Below you will read a brief explanation for each item.

The label itself

It probably sounds very obvious. But you will be surprised how often, in practice, people think about all kinds of things, but carefully determining the right label hardly gets any attention. 

Speed

Another obvious one, but also definitely important to consider carefully. 

Flexibility

What degree of flexibility is required of the labeling system? Consider the difference between placing printed labels and labels that need to be printed in real time. In the latter case, there must also be a printer on the labeler. 

Ease of operation

How easy the labeler should be to operate depends on those who operate it. Should anyone be able to do it or are they individuals who have been trained (internally) to do so?

Space

The amount of space available for the labeler within the production process largely determines how the labeling system can be placed. 

Future requirements

The purchase of a labeling system is also a good opportunity to consider the future.
