subject: Label Printers Can Take Large And Small Orders Alike [print this page] Many companies these days produce masses of different products which have to be sent out to customers, both retail and wholesale. However, they may need to add certain stickers, like harsh environment labels, to the cartons so that the consumer knows what is inside. Indeed, there are companies that produce custom printer labels exactly how the customer want them and often at very short notice too.
This kind of printing can cover a wide variety of subject matter. For example, inventory tags or production orders, invoices or pick lists and everything in between.
Most companies or retailers will use some form of tag or paperwork when they are selling goods. Clever companies will produce paperwork which serves more than one purpose. For example, when price tags are needed for clothing or other products, it may be a good idea to produce an inventory tag at the same time. This will show when the product went onto the shelf and when it goes through the check out, it will automatically be deducted from the stock levels on site. This is also particularly useful for continuous unit-set formats if a carbon free liner is used so that the image printed through each one can be seen on back copies.
This kind of paperwork or printing can be used in all kinds of situations. Catalog houses which have huge warehousing facilities run their business in this way. The order comes in by phone or by computer. An invoice is raised but the copies behind the invoice will contain details of where the stock is situated, how many are in stock etc. A third copy will be sent to accounts where the item will be charged to the customer and yet another copy will be sent to the warehouse manager to show that something has been deducted from the stock room. All this will be done in one easy operation because of the multi layers of the pre-printed forms.
Most small companies will only stock small numbers of items on their shelves. This may be applicable in exclusive clothes shops etc. They really need to have tags on their clothes with numbers which relate to the style, color, size and amount of stock which is in the shop. These short runs may be too expensive for the retailer to print off himself but here are companies which specialize in short run tags and will number them accordingly too.
It may well be that the company can actually produce the tags themselves but if a huge assignment comes in, they will need a third-party to take over the task if they do not have the man power to do the work themselves.
Either way, these third-party companies are there to mop up this extra work and produce all kinds of tags and forms for any company in need of the same. Indeed, without this kind of company, one would suspect that life would become an awful lot harder for companies which do not employ many people.
