5 Signs That It's Time for a Label Upgrade

You may already be labeling parts inside of your wood manufacturing plant. In that case, you're a step in the right direction! However, just because you are using a labeling system doesn't mean that your labeling system is working FOR you. Many cabinet and closet makers are struggling with frustrating and expensive label challenges and often, the boss man doesn't even know it. 

We challenge you to take notes the next time you take a walk through the shop. Here are five signs that it's time for a label upgrade.

1. You see that some parts are being written on with pencil, being taped instead of labeled, or not marked at all. 

This could be a sign that your employee has found a workaround for a problem with your current labeling system. Ask them how your current labels are performing and what they would change about them.

2. You see used labels on the shop floor around the organizing bins. 

This could mean employees are having to reprint duplicate labels, reattach labels, or spend time figuring out which unlabeled part belongs where. Any of these outcomes can create unnecessary costs.

3. The labels are sticking TOO well and they are tearing when peeled and leaving residue behind on the parts. 

This requires a team member to clean the adhesive off with mineral spirits, rags, or worse... a razor. Our customers report anywhere from 2-7 minutes of wasted time PER LABEL that leaves residue. Think about how much profit that's costing you every day, week, month, year. Not only is profit lost due to time wasted, but clean up materials cost money and risk damaged parts, too. 

4. The labels can't be placed back down once they're moved. 

Most removable labels only stick once. After they've been removed, they're useless. 

5. You're buying the cheapest label you can find and your team has accepted that labeling failures are just a part of their day. 

Maybe you've already tried other kinds of labels and decided that label failures are simply part of the cost of doing business. But those small failures add up. A simple label swap can change everything!
