Product Fulfilment
Labelling for Product Fulfilment
In 3PL warehousing, labelling is an important aspect of inventory management. Proper labelling helps to ensure that products can be easily identified and located within the warehouse, which can help to improve efficiency and accuracy in the fulfilment process.
There are various labelling systems that can be used in 3PL warehousing, including
Barcode labelling
Barcode labels are used to identify products using a unique code that can be scanned using a barcode reader. This helps to automate the tracking and management of inventory within the warehouse.
RFID labelling
Radio-frequency identification (RFID) labels use radio waves to transmit information about a product, allowing for real-time tracking and inventory management.
Manual labelling
Manual labelling involves physically attaching labels to products or storage locations within the warehouse. This can include the use of labels with product names, descriptions, or other identifying information.

Role of Clear and Versatile Labelling Systems
It’s also important for 3PLs to ensure that labels are easy to read and understand, as this can help to reduce errors and improve the efficiency of the warehouse operations. In some cases, 3PLs may need to use multiple labelling systems in order to meet the specific needs of their clients. For example, a 3PL may use barcode labelling for automated tracking and RFID labelling for real-time tracking, depending on the specific requirements of the client.
