Efficient shipping and batch labeling for an industrial manufacturer
A medium-sized manufacturer of technical components from Hesse supplies wholesalers and OEM customers throughout Europe.
The products are shipped in neutral cardboard packaging. Each shipping carton must be labeled with:
- 1D or 2D barcode for logistics
- item number
- Batch number
- Production date
challenge
The labeling was previously done using separate labels. This led to several disadvantages in the daily shipping business:
- High consumption of labels and liner material
- Additional work step during application
- Risk of crooked or illegible labels
- Labels peel off during transportation or temperature fluctuations
- Delays due to last-minute order changes
The company was looking for a flexible solution that could be used directly in the dispatch area - without a fixed printing station.
Solution
The company opted for the jetStamp® 1025 sense for mobile direct marking on cardboard.
The new process:
- Scan barcode from delivery bill or ERP system
- Transfer data automatically
- Direct printing on the shipping carton
The integrated scan function reduces manual input and minimizes sources of error.
The larger print area enables the combination of barcode and plain text in a single printing process.
Implementation in the process
The jetStamp® 1025 sense can be used flexibly:
- In outgoing goods
- In order picking
- For subsequent labeling
- For special or rush orders
Thanks to battery operation, no fixed installation is required.
The device is used where the carton is closed - without additional paths.
result
Since the introduction of direct printing, the company has benefited from:
✔ Elimination of label logistics
✔ Faster processes in shipping
✔ Fewer errors thanks to scan & print process
✔ Clear and permanent labeling
✔ Greater flexibility for changes at short notice
Mobile direct printing is an efficient addition to existing logistics processes, particularly in the dynamic shipping environment.
Conclusion
Direct marking on cardboard packaging enables flexible, clean and process-oriented implementation of shipping and batch markings.
With the jetStamp® 1025 sense, cartons can be labeled quickly, easily and without additional labels - ideal for modern logistics and production environments.
