The variables involved in labeling a warehouse are wide-ranging, which is why companies turn to the likes of ASG Services for warehouse labeling. We help large and small organizations throughout the US, and start our conversations with the intention of thoroughly understanding the operational requirements and expectations.

Our technical sales team will consider your layout, storage structures, number systems, as well as any pre-existing formats, to create recommendations and proposals which are best for you and the most cost-effective. This often begins the in-depth tailored approach.

Decades of experience in warehouse labeling and project installations allows us to build a platform of product performance, label design, positional layouts on the racks, as well as initial scope of installation progress scheduling.

Each type of warehouse label is used for something specific. We create different layout designs to help the user see and understand the label design concept. Easy and clear readability is essential, which also ensures the barcode is easy to scan on the first attempt. We understand the consequence of delays, no matter how small, and work to help minimize them.

Some customers already have preferred label designs, others ask for recommendations. ASG Services’ design team is fully aware and competent of handling your requests, without incremental costs. Your labels will always be custom designed for you.

Label positioning on the rack is determined by customer preference, the type of rack or shelf used, and label size needed, based on content requirement. In all our warehouse labeling projects, we like to offer best practice advice which we know works for most of our customers. We also understand budget restrictions mean some customers must make allowances, for which we can also help and provide advice on, with material choices, layout changes, etc.

Early discussions regarding dates are very important at this stage to help with our production planning and installation scheduling.

We offer advice to all customers working on a warehouse labeling project, however when ASG Services are chosen as the partner to handle a project, the discussion is far more detailed, exposing hidden obstacles, and unforeseen errors.

The design and planning stage is where our production and project departments become involved and the full complement of ASG Services capabilities are experienced.

Warehouse label designs are put into the proofing stage, where the customer can further alter but also test in practice. Customers may also request actual samples or prototypes, so they have something tangible before final sign off.

During this process, ASG Services technical team will also, if required, be working on the warehouse labeling location file. Most customers will provide ASG Services with a complete inventory of labels required, while others may need a location file to be created, based on a rack drawings. This is relatively straight forward for our team. To start your own and to prepare it for ASG’s team, use our template here:

Once all is signed off and cleared for production, the warehouse labeling project team will also have final discussions with production to determine the sequence and agenda, so the labels are run in-line with the installation schedule.

Rack labeling installations are sequenced on a per day basis. Customers are made aware of achievable quantities per day, and therefore when they can expect sections of their racking to become available for use. Once this schedule is agreed both parties, we work in unison to achieve a successful completion.

The proposal and planning work which goes into our warehouse labeling projects dictate the proceedings for the installation phase. The project management team hands over all information and products needed, to the installation manager and assistants, with a complete run down of details.

On the first day, there will be a scouting session where the installation team becomes familiar with the site, attends inductions, and prepares to start. It is during this stage that a final clearance is required from the customer of positioning, start points, etc.

During the first and second day, metrics are taken by the warehouse labeling installation team and reported back to our head office. Here the project teams make calculations and checks to ensure all is running to plan. It may occur that the customer was unable to give a pre-agreed area, but the team has made up for this delay elsewhere. This can be identified, and the installation reprogrammed accordingly.

Most communication between the customer and ASG Services during a warehouse labeling installation will be with the installation team. However, the project teams are always in contact and available to address questions or concerns as well as to update on any changes.

The completion phase often comes earlier than initially planned, thanks to the installation team’s and the customer’s relationship and the understanding that develops, however it is never taken for granted on warehouse labeling installations.
