Labels - A Major Industrial Segment

The labeling industry has become a major segment of the industrial growth that is presently taking place in the entire country. Labels have become one of the most widely used items in practically every industry of today. Each manufacturing plant has a separate shipping department that dispatches finished products to customers throughout the country. The shipping department uses printed labels which are clean, legible labels that consist of the precise address of the consignee to avoid misplacement and delay of the consignment, as well as, the complete details of the shipper. With a clean label, the consignment is delivered to the consignee in the minimum possible time, thereby, avoiding inordinate delays.

A Gamut of Labels

Labels are available in a myriad of different forms such as shipping labels, food labels, self sticking adhesive labels, and thermal transfer ribbons. While there are plain and blank labels available where the user can incorporate his own details, printed and color printed labels are in massive demand. Labels are used for a variety of purposes, such as, shipping, product labeling and food labels, electronic labeling, bar code labeling. Each one has a specific purpose in its manufacture.

Self adhesive labels are resilient ones and do not come off a consignment for a long period of time. It has become a legal requirement for the food and beverage manufacturing industry to affix a label on every food item that provide details of its nutritional value, as well as, the date of manufacture and the expiration date. The law also requires the manufacturer to provide complete details of the company, its address, contact person with telephone numbers, as well as, the website - if the company has a website. Labels are also available in the form of thermal transfer ribbons which can be peeled off and affixed to a finished product. However, direct thermal ribbons are affixed on the package during the packing stage of the product before delivery. Electronic labels offer a security to the establishment since they prevent pilferage of goods from a large organization. Bar code labels are unique labels that are coded and contain total information on its label which is identified by handheld scanner.
