The Reusable Box Replaces Labels for Intra Company Shipments

Identify Contents Clearly, Economically, and Sustainably

Product Identification Labels Are Expensive and Not Eco Friendly

When we speak to people about their intra company shipping, they consistently stress the importance of clear product identification. When a product is shipped from one facility to another, it must be identified as an item that has been machined, assembled, finished, tested, or transferred. Product status is usually accomplished by applying an oversize label to the shipping container.

An 8″ x 6″ pressure sensitive label is commonly used for this application, and a cost of about $.20 to $.30 each depending on construction and quantity. The price can rise significantly if the label is custom printed with artwork or in multiple colors. Companies frequently use larger and more expensive labels in an effort to cover up previous labels and outdated information.

Reusable Boxes Are the Ideal Replacement for Labels

  • At minimal additional cost, a Globe Guard® Reusable Box can be custom printed on the inside as well as the outside. Ship-to, product code, status and other information can be clearly and consistently communicated. It can be spot printed or even flood printed in a completely different color to make it stand out in an inventory or sorting scenario.
  • Bar code, product information or even ship-to address information are able to be printed on the inside surface of the box so it is visible after the box is inverted. This not only replaces the cost of the labels, but the associated procurement, stocking and labor costs of applying them as well.

Determining whether or not the Globe Guard® Reusable Box can serve a purpose in your operation may be as easy as identifying and reviewing your oversized label usage. If labels are being applied to boxes being shipped internally, there is a good possibility our unique design can help you save money while making your company greener in the process.
