Warehouses require different types of barcode labels depending on their needs and storage items. There are 4 basic types of barcode labels used in warehouses. They are
1) Rental Barcode Labels
These are used to find out the items in a warehouse. They are mainly used to pinpoint the location of a particular item. They are usually placed on shelves and have registered number codes that the store owner would know. Each location barcode label has durable adhesives so they can easily stick to the side of shelves, shelves, etc.
2) Reflective barcode labels
Reflective barcode labels contain a series of barcodes that can be read by humans. They are usually quite large and can be scanned from quite a distance. They are usually mounted on a wall or hung from the ceiling. They are usually made of metal for durability purposes.
3) Floor barcode labels
Barcode floor labels are affixed to floors and use long-lasting adhesives to permanently affix them to the floor. They are usually made of metal such as steel and aluminum so that they can withstand the abuse of long term vehicular traffic within the warehouse and chemicals etc.
4) Pallet Barcode Labels
These are the most common barcode labels you’ll see in a warehouse. They are used to label pallets or boxes that are being moved from one location to another. They are built to withstand industrial conditions and, like barcode flooring labels, are typically made of metals.
The 4 types of warehouse barcode labels are usually printed with an alphanumeric code in a certain order based on the preferences of the store owner. They are usually printed with thermal transfer printers because it allows barcode labels to be more accurate and clear.
