LPN labels: indispensable in your warehouse

When you want to increase the efficiency of the flow of goods in your warehouse, "License Plate Number" labels are the right choice. These LPN labels - also known in the industry as handling unit (HU) labels, URN labels and pallet ID labels - each have a unique identifier, making pallets and boxes easy to track in your WMS.

What are the benefits of LPN labels?

From the moment goods enter the warehouse, pallets, boxes or overpacks are given their own unique barcode that is registered in your WMS. When a pallet is moved and the operator scans the LPN label, it is updated in real time in the WMS. This allows you to see where in the order process the goods are at any time. For example, if you work in the food or pharmaceutical industry with products that have strict expiration dates, it is important to be able to track these products quickly.

With LPN labels, you can also easily check which location the goods are at, what the current inventory is and which orders have already been processed. In addition, your operators can save time as they drive directly to the right location to pick or store the pallets. Thanks to the automated process, the chance of human error, such as incorrect picking or putting back pallets, is minimal. This eliminates order delays, unnecessary recovery orders and frustration for your operators.

Why does ONE2ID recommend pre-printed LPN labels?

Some warehouses choose to print the LPN labels themselves, on site. At first glance, this seems like a cost-saving solution, but in the long run it actually costs you time. While the initial cost of ordering pre-printed LPN labels may seem higher than printing them yourself, it outweighs the ultimate benefits:

• You save costs because you do not have to purchase and update a printer and software. In addition, you do not have to deal with maintenance costs and possible breakdowns.
• You save man hours because you don't have to print the LPN labels yourself.
• There is no risk of human error that can occur from manually entering the codes or accidentally printing duplicate sequences. You provide the information for the barcodes, which is linked to your WMS, and we print the barcode labels in the correct order.
• You don't waste time changing rolls of labels and ribbon in your printer when working with multiple colors or sizes of LPN labels. We make your labels in the desired color and size.
• No need to worry about poor print quality or codes that eventually fade and become unscannable.
• With pre-printed LPN labels, you benefit directly from cost savings. We take all your worries out of your hands. All you have to do is stick the labels on.

In short, when you implement LPN labels in your warehouse, you can work faster and more accurately. If you also want to increase operational efficiency, reduce picking errors and save both time and money, choose pre-printed LPN labels.
