With bar coding and radio frequency identification (RFID) mandates dictated by major retailers, the decision to use printer applicators over a hand labeling “slap-and-ship” method for high volume or high value items is an easy one, especially when unreadable bar codes or incorrect label placement can result in retailer chargebacks.

Supply chains never catch a break. When economic times are tough, they struggle to keep costs down, while maintaining the flow of product to depressed markets.

Process automation. Efficiency. Accuracy. Traceability. Visibili­ty. Logistics optimization. Compliance mandates.
