Every warehouse manager seeks efficiency, but have you looked at the environmental impact of your operations? Believe it or not, something as small as label size can contribute to a greener warehouse. Let's take a look at the environmentally friendly advantages of opting for 4 x 3 labels over larger 4 x 6 labels in your Warehouse Management System (WMS).
Less material, less waste
It's simple math: smaller labels require less raw materials to produce. This translates into a reduction in the environmental footprint associated with manufacturing, including energy consumption, water use and greenhouse gas emissions. Every 4 x 3 label you choose is a small step towards a more sustainable warehouse.
Optimized printing, reduced costs
Warehouse labels are often printed in bulk. With smaller labels, you can minimize label waste and reduce overall printing costs. This results in fewer print cycles and increases hardware lifespan, further reducing your environmental impact.
Think big
The environmental benefits of smaller labels go beyond simply reducing material. By minimizing waste and optimizing printing processes, you contribute to a more sustainable supply chain. This resonates with environmentally conscious customers who increasingly value green practices.
Making the change
Transitioning to 4 x 3 labels may not be available or easily configured in a WMS. However, the environmental benefits and potential cost savings make it a valuable consideration.
- Review your information needs: Can you condense the information displayed on your current labels without sacrificing clarity? (Eye: You can use "Can you...?" for a more informal tone)
- Consult your WMS provider: Make sure your system can handle the smaller label size and adjust your print settings accordingly.
- Test and refine: Test a small batch of 4x3 labels to identify any unforeseen challenges and refine your design if necessary.
