INTELLI-PLAC® Offers Scrape-Free Label Solution for Reusable Packaging, Racks and Shelves
Removing stubborn labels from reusable totes and warehouse shelves – or at least trying to scrape them off – was a fact of life for much of my career in distribution center operations. It was a job for which there were seldom volunteers. In fact, some employees bemoaned that they were still scraping labels in their sleep! And with new labels plastered partially on top of old labels that could not be completely removed – it was a practice that, too often, resulted in the wrong label being read, and ultimately, to mis-shipments. It was no fun.
It turns out, I gave up my day job too early. At PACK EXPO Las Vegas, Dean Bates Vice President, Sales & Marketing at FilmLOC®, walked me through FilmLOC’s suite of labeling solutions designed to promote effective and effortless labeling of reusable packaging and racks.
The company continues to win new friends with its flagship INTELLI-PLAC® reusable label holders for returnable packaging, warehouse racking and shelving, as well as other labeling needs. Not only is the label system easy to use, but unlike competing products, it has no silicone top coating. That means that INTELLI-PLAC placards can be recycled with HDPE and PP plastic containers at their end of life (so again, no need for painful label scraping in preparation for the recycle grinding).
