Marking & Labelling

Frequently Asked Questions

• When should you upgrade your warehouse labelling?If you experience picking errors, slow picking, difficulty locating items or frequent manual adjustments in your system, these are clear signs that your current warehouse labelling needs improvement.
• Can plastic pockets be reused?Yes. Plastic pockets are designed for a long service life and can be reused simply by replacing their contents. This makes them both cost-effective and more sustainable than single-use labels.
• How does effective warehouse labelling improve the working environment?Clear labelling reduces stress, errors and unnecessary movement. Staff spend less time searching for items, and the risk of accidents is reduced when storage locations and their contents are clearly identified.
• Can warehouse labelling support traceability?Absolutely. By inserting suitable labels into plastic pockets, you can display batch numbers, barcodes, serial numbers and dates, making traceability and quality control much easier.
• Are plastic pockets better than laminated labels?Yes. Laminated labels need to be replaced entirely when the information changes. With plastic pockets, you only replace the paper insert, saving both time and money, especially in warehouses where information changes frequently.
• Can I use the same warehouse labelling system throughout the facility?Yes, a consistent labelling system is strongly recommended. Using the same types of plastic pockets and labels throughout the warehouse reduces confusion, training time and the risk of errors.
• How do I know which size of plastic pocket I need?It depends on the information you want to display. Item numbers and location codes often require smaller formats, such as A6 or A7, while delivery notes, picking lists and instructions require larger pockets, such as A5 or A4.
• Can plastic pockets be used in chilled and frozen storage areas?Yes, many plastic pockets are made from materials that withstand low temperatures. For chilled and frozen environments, choose models made from durable, flexible plastic that will not crack or become brittle.
• What is the difference between labels attached directly to shelves and plastic pockets?Labels stuck directly onto shelves can wear out quickly and be difficult to replace. Plastic pockets protect the information and allow you to replace the contents without leaving adhesive residue or damaging shelves and equipment.
• How does warehouse labelling improve picking speed?Tydlig lagermärkning gör att personalen snabbt kan identifiera rätt hylla, plats och artikel utan att behöva leta. Med rätt placerade etikettfickor minskar felplock, gångtider och stress – vilket direkt höjer plockeffektiviteten i lagret.
• Can I get help choosing the right solution?Absolutely. Contact Smart Storing’s customer service team for advice, samples or a quotation to help you find a labelling solution that suits your business.
• How quickly will my products be delivered?Smart Storing aims to provide fast delivery, with many stocked items ready for immediate dispatch. Delivery times vary depending on the product and quantity ordered.
• Can I use label pockets with barcodes and scanners?Yes. The transparent plastic and smooth front surface make the pockets suitable for barcode labels, allowing you to scan them without removing the label.
• Are these products suitable for outdoor use?Some plastic pockets with lids or weather protection are suitable for environments exposed to dust, moisture or rain. For outdoor use, choose models specifically designed to withstand weather exposure.
• What formats and sizes are available?Plastic pockets and label pockets are available in several standard formats, including A6, A5 and A4. Choose the size according to whether you need labels for narrow shelves or holders for larger documents. Custom formats are also available on request.
• Can I replace the label inside a plastic pocket?Yes. Labels can easily be removed and replaced when needed, making it simple to update information when items, storage locations or procedures change.
• How do I attach plastic pockets and labels in the warehouse?There are several mounting options, depending on the application:
  - Magnetic pockets attach easily to metal surfaces and shelf edges.
  - Self-adhesive pockets adhere directly to suitable surfaces.
  - Pockets with wire hangers or hooks hang from edges, mesh panels or pallet collars.
• What are the benefits of Smart Storing’s warehouse labelling products?Smart Storing’s warehouse labelling products and plastic pockets are made using EU-approved plasticisers.

• Why should I use plastic pockets for warehouse labelling?Plastfickor skyddar dina etiketter från damm, fukt och dagligt slitage vilket gör dem mer hållbara i lager- och industrimiljöer. De gör det också enkelt att byta ut eller uppdatera informationen utan att hela fästet behöver bytas.
• What are warehouse labelling and plastic pockets?Warehouse labelling is a system for clearly identifying shelves, pallet locations, containers and roller conveyors using information such as item numbers, location codes, barcodes or other important data. Plastic pockets are transparent document holders into which you can insert these labels without damaging them. They keep the information clearly visible and protected from dirt and wear.
