Rack Label Cover-Up Solutions

Label cover-up solutions for rack and shelf labels are the most cost-effective method of handling beam revitalization and system update projects.  It’s most important for operations which utilize barcode systems to prevent scan errors, confusion and the reduction in work rates caused by both.

The Challenge.

Where beams have been used for some time, we often find multiple layers of rack labels from legacy systems, previous re-configurations and temporary sign applications.  Some of these layers are simply beyond help with most label cover-up solutions, however with preparation and a smooth enough surface, we can provide the product to mask the old labels, as well as installation services if required.

Material Requirements.

Covering barcode rack labels requires a material which has sufficient opacity to prevent scan through.  Scan-through is where a barcode can be seen through the covering material which scanners are able to pick up if sensitive enough and most current scanners are.

There is no recommendation on how much covering you do. However, we always recommend a minimum of 6” either side of the new label to help reduce mis-scans and to make it easier for operatives to see on the beam.

We offer multiple color options so customers can choose the one which best matches and replicates the color of their rack beams.

Installation Thoughts.

All materials can be supplied in the size to suit your beams and covering needs. These can be on rolls or as singles. This is a consideration with the type of installation you are planning.

Singles are more useful if you have a team of people and need to separate the material to mobilize them all individually. Short pieces are easier to apply.

Rolls can be more manageable if one or two people are progressing with covering and adding new labels as they move from beam to beam. The material can be cut with scissors, which we advise you to do before applying.

Feel free to contact us regarding material pricing or with any questions you have.

If you need a team to perform the work, we can help with that too. Our installation teams travel throughout the US providing professionally managed implementations.
