What is LPN labeling and how it can help speed up logistics

LPN labeling is integral to an internal track and trace system, applicable across various processes. This facilitates real-time visibility into inventory levels, goods’ whereabouts, and order statuses. An LPN label, short for License Plate Number, features a unique reference number. These pre-printed labels are designed to adhere to a single pallet or box.

Each product packaging, whether it’s a box, envelope, bag, or container, receives an LPN label. Information pertinent to the respective packaging, such as relevant dates, batch numbers, color codes, or hazards, is linked to the License Plate Number. When the LPN label is scanned elsewhere in the warehouse, the responsible party gains immediate insight into its intended actions, destination, contents, and associated hazards.

Trends in LPN labeling

The demand for color, color variations, dynamic content, and durability in LPN Labels is on the rise. Colorful labels are easier to identify on pallets of boxes and can convey important information such as arrival status, recipient details, destination, or other relevant data.

While lesser quality paper is typically sufficient for many applications, LPN Labels are inexpensive consumables. However, there’s a growing demand for longer-lasting LPN Labels. Consequently, there’s a trend towards using polycomposite materials that offer increased durability and resilience to changing conditions.

How to switch to LPN labels ?

The growing demand for LPN Labels is reshaping label production. Strength Bartech is at the forefront, manufacturing LPN Labels with high quality and precision to enhance logistics processes. Customers can rely on our labels to expedite their operations, ensuring that barcodes are scanned accurately on the first attempt, with correct data reading, fulfilling their intended purpose.

The efficiency of the entire order tracking process hinges on the capability of the scanner used to read the LPN barcode. The speed and capacity of the scanner directly impact the quality of barcode reading, necessitating careful consideration of the label’s material and ink.

The best way to produce LPN labels

Depending on the label quantity and application requirements, Strength Bartech collaborates with the customer to identify the most cost-effective solution for their company. Factors such as whether to utilize thermal printing with a ribbon and the choice of label materials (paper, plastic, or adhesive) are carefully considered. These decisions directly influence the label price and the overall efficiency of the solution.

To ensure that the labels meet application needs effectively, we also provide the appropriate labeling system. This helps prevent issues such as premature or delayed label detachment, which could potentially cause process delays.

Serialisation software for LPN labeling

Strength Bartech provides a complimentary database management system to ensure accurate serialization of LPN labels, thereby preventing duplicate barcode labels. This feature is particularly crucial in scenarios where multiple warehouses or locations operate within the same Warehouse Management System, especially in industries like pharmaceuticals.

Additionally, Strength Bartech offers a specialized serial barcode program to further streamline the serialization process and enhance efficiency.

LPN labels are available in various formats to suit different needs. Here are some common formats:

1. Single rolls: Standard rolls containing consecutively printed barcode labels, available in various sizes.

2. Single Twin Rolls: Rolls with two identical labels placed next to each other or after each other. These are commonly used for processing smaller pallets, crates, or boxes.

3. Single Dual Rolls: Labels featuring two sets of contents per label, often applied around the corner of a pallet and ordered sequentially.

4. Dual Twin Rolls: Labels with two sets of contents, each with an exact copy next to it on the roll. These are typically used in large distribution centers handling sizable pallets, where labeling on up to four sides of a pallet is necessary.
