Label Production Features That Ensure Accuracy and On-Time Delivery

As you plan a product launch or a new label design for a product, you have a lot of stress and pressure to ensure everything goes smoothly. When you rely on a printing company to create your labels, you want safeguards in place to prevent delays and get your label shipments in time.

Learn how the label process works, how errors are avoided, and ways to know exactly when your shipment will arrive. With the extra information, you can feel confident that you know and understand how your printing process will move forward.

1. Rewind Inspections

One of the most important process in label printing is the rewind inspection. After a whole set of labels has been printed, the printers will go through a reverse process to ensure the labels have come out clean and accurately. A rewind inspection reverses the printing process and the end result includes a full spool of the printed labels ready to ship.

A worker will manually inspect each label as each one moves backward through the machine. The visual inspection process checks for details like centering, clean prints, and missed labels. If a major problem is spotted, the print process will begin again. If a small number of labels are messed up, then the labels are discarded and replaced.

The inspection will prevent any errors and give you confidence that your labels will arrive ready to go for your products.

2. Digital Printing Options

If you want to know exactly what the label will look like, then consider ordering a digital print label. Through a digital print, you can see exactly what the final label will look like. Through an extensive proofing process, you can ensure everything looks accurate, including the spelling, label design, and color options.

You will also select the proper size for the label. The printing company will inspect the digital file and confirm your choices before proceeding with the label print. If you have a running change on your labels or want a short-run, then digital printing can ensure you have a quick turn-around and can quickly get the new labels out.

3. Label Option Inventory

As you plan out labels, you may have special requests, including foil print, removal labels, and add-on coupons. When you work with a printing company with in-house production of the label materials, you do not need to worry about order delays. You can place an order and have guaranteed delivery in time for your project.

If you work with a printing company without the property inventory, you may have to wait for special orders or compromise on the features for your specific labels. Once you become a regular customer, you can plan out special orders and add new orders whenever needed.

4. Satellite Tracking

Tracking a project is important to time out your label process and eventual shipments to stores or warehouses. After a printing project has completed, you can know the precise arrival time through satellite tracking.

Printing companies will provide you with satellite tracking to know exactly where your labels are and how long until the labels will reach their final destination. Not only will the tracking help you know when your shipment will arrive, but also you can ensure you are present for the exact arrival.

When the delivery truck is on its way, GPS tracking provides real-time tracking so you do not delay the delivery.
