The Problem
At PaladinID, we recently had a company reach out with a common but complex problem involving their shipping label process. They were using two label printers: one to print the shipping information in black and a Zebra printer with a colored ribbon to signify different shipping methods. The reason for the color coding was to help the warehouse workers easily identify which shipments were a priority and which were ground. For example, one blue stripe indicated Ground shipment and two blue stripes signified 2nd day air. This approach was not only labor-intensive and time-consuming, but it also costly.
The question they posed to us was simple: “Can you help us develop a label to make us more efficient?”
The Solution
At PaladinID, we specialize in finding innovative solutions that streamline your processes. Our team suggested a preprinted color direct thermal label. With this solution, we would provide preprinted labels in various colors and/or designs, that meet each of their shipping requirements. They would load the corresponding label design/color based on the shipping method and print all variable information in a single pass. There is no need for two printers or additional ribbons.
The result? The customer was thrilled! They reduced the labor spent printing labels, cut costs on supplies, and simplified the process for their warehouse team. What used to be a multi-step, multi-printer operation is now a smooth, one-step process.
