How Do You Label Inventory with Warehouse Labels?
Tagging your warehouse inventory is a core deliverable for effective asset management and enables teams to perform more accurate and automated counts on a set schedule. Developing a comprehensive labeling plan requires a bit of preparation. In order to properly label warehouse inventory, it is helpful to take a holistic approach and look at your entire operation within the factory. It is likely that you have already optimized your basic warehouse layout based on routine activities such as shipping, receiving, scanning, sorting, and picking. Starting with your existing workflows and an updated warehouse layout will help you visualize how your warehouse labels can be deployed.
One of the primary benefits of adding warehouse labels is the improved visibility and end-to-end tracking that they can provide. In some cases, you may even find that you can save some hardware costs by choosing an improved label design that reduces scans or allows you consolidate your checkpoints. When selecting labels for the warehouse you will need to choose between long-range and short-range labeling options.
In any warehouse there are usually a number of different inventory container sizes and types that are stored. Choosing between bulk and individual label options will depend on how your inventory is currently counted and how you plan to use the barcodes. There are many different purposes for labeling inventory such as tracking, counting, and overall warehouse management. You will want to ensure your planning labeling strategy fits well with these current practices. Examples of warehouse labels for inventory include individual item labels, container labels, pallet labels, and floor labels that can all have a useful short-range function depending on your inventory count needs. Long range options include rack labels and hanging signs that can be viewed or scanned at a distance.
How Do You Label a Warehouse Rack?
Having an effective warehouse labeling plan involves looking at your warehouse layout, inventory processes, and primary workflows that are used in the area. It is always best to take a systematic approach to your warehouse rack labeling so that you can extract the most value from your efforts. There are number of suitable warehouse label styles to choose from including polyester, magnetic, and multi-level. They each offer slightly different benefits versus their cost and should be assessed carefully.
One initial step to take is to identify the racks that you have and any sectional or shelving considerations that may impact labeling. It is also helpful to segment the warehouse floor into various sections so that you can be clear about the labeling needs for various types of inventory and work zones. Another consideration is the standard or serpentine picking style that your warehouse may utilize. Selecting a labeling pattern and layout that is optimized for your designated picking procedures will help you reduce any future issues. When labeling a rack it is best to begin from the ground and work your way up, with the first row on the ground floor having the number ‘01’. Labeling can then proceed to additional rows and continue until finished. This type of numbering scheme is especially useful because it gives you the perfect baseline from which to scale your operation in the future.

Frequently Asked Questions About Warehouse Labels
To label a warehouse, first map your warehouse or identify all locations and items that you want to mark, such as aisles, docks, racks, doors, containers, totes, and others. Then, work with your label supplier to select warehouse labels customized for each type of item or location you need to label. For instance, the surface the label will be attached to, scanning type, scanning distance, and other factors impact the selection of warehouse labels.
After they’re manufactured, apply the labels to the correct assets and populate your database with the appropriate information. Your label supplier may offer services, such as Camcode’s label installation service, to handle these time-consuming tasks for you.
To label a warehouse location, determine its identifier based on your location numbering system. Then, choose a warehouse label that’s appropriate for the application, such as warehouse aisle signs to label aisles or hanging retro-reflective labels to label locations that require long-distance scanning.
Your label supplier will manufacture warehouse labels and signs that correspond with your location numbering system. Depending on the type of warehouse label, it may have adhesive, holes for mechanical attachment, or other attachment options suitable for the application.
Seven of the most valuable best practices for effective warehouse labeling are:
- Use a consistent labeling system: Implement a standardized format for all labels, including font size, color scheme, and information layout. This ensures clarity and reduces confusion for warehouse staff.
- Ensure visibility and readability: Use large fonts, high-contrast colors, and durable materials to make labels easily readable from a distance. Place labels at eye level when possible for optimal visibility.
- Choose appropriate label materials: Select label materials that can withstand your warehouse environment, including temperature fluctuations, moisture, and frequent handling.
- Implement logical labeling schemes: Use a combination of numbers and letters to indicate locations within the warehouse, such as aisles, racks, shelves, and bins. Number shelves from the ground up to allow for vertical expansion.
- Integrate with warehouse management systems: Ensure labels are compatible with your WMS and use barcode or RFID technology for quick scanning and real-time inventory tracking.
- Strategic label placement: Position labels in visible and accessible locations where they can be easily read by workers or scanning equipment without obstructing operations.
- Label everything consistently: Apply labels to all products, storage locations, and equipment, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant, to maintain organization throughout the warehouse.
.By following these best practices, warehouses can significantly improve efficiency, reduce errors, and enhance overall operational performance.
The different types of warehouse labels include warehouse rack labels, warehouse floor labels, warehouse signs, cold storage labels, labels for containers, totes, pallets, trays and LPNs, and outdoor warehouse signage. Many of these warehouse labels come in several variations.
For example, there are several types of warehouse rack labels, including polyester warehouse rack labels, multi-level warehouse rack labels, magnetic warehouse rack labels, rack-mount retro-reflective bar code labels, cold storage warehouse rack labels, cold storage warehouse rack placards, and cover-up correction warehouse rack labels.
Warehouse tagging is the process of applying identification tags to track assets and inventory. The term is often used interchangeably with warehouse labeling.
In some cases, warehouse tagging refers to identifying tags (such as RFID tags) that are attached to an asset using attachment methods other than adhesive, such as mechanical attachment. In this case, warehouse labeling refers to warehouse labels that are attached to an asset’s surface using adhesive.
