Variable Data
When an Information Management company approached us, expressing frustration over the high costs of barcode labels from their previous supplier, our team quickly identified an opportunity to help them reduce expenses without compromising on quality. The company had been paying significantly more for their labels, and after reviewing their needs, it didn’t take long for our experts to realize that the labels they were purchasing were over-spec'd for their intended use.
Upon investigating their labeling requirements, we discovered that the barcode labels they were using were made from premium materials and included features that, while beneficial in certain contexts, were unnecessary for the specific application within the Information Management industry. The labels they were purchasing had high durability ratings, weather-resistant coatings, and other properties that were simply not needed for their internal record-keeping needs.
Our Solution?
By assessing their requirements and understanding their operational environment, our team was able to recommend a more cost-effective solution using appropriate materials that still met their functional needs for accurate barcode scanning and tracking, but at a significantly lower cost. We proposed to use paper labels with a easy-peel removable adhesive, which offered all the necessary performance characteristics without the excess features that had been driving up the price.
Our solution allowed the company to maintain efficiency and accuracy in their information management processes, while also substantially lowering their label costs. This more targeted approach not only improved their bottom line but also aligned their labeling solution more closely with the actual demands of their operations, optimizing their overall supply chain costs.
