Inventory and Color Coding Labels

How to choose inventory and color-coding labels

Pick the format first, then the size, then the color.

• Blank circles. Color dots for items, bins, files and cartons. Diameters are 1/2, 3/4, 1, 1.5, 2, 3 and 4 inches, each in 12 colors. Use 1/2 to 1 inch on parts, bins and folders. Use 2 to 4 inches on cartons and pallets, where a bigger dot is easier to spot.
• Blank rectangles. Room to write a SKU, count, lot or date by hand. Sizes run 2 x 3, 2 x 4, 3 x 4, 3 x 5, 4 x 4, 4 x 6 and 5 x 7 inches. The 3 x 6, 3 x 9 and 3 x 10 inch strips come 250 to a roll.
• Removable labels. For bins, shelves and totes whose contents change. They peel off cleanly without residue. Circles run 3/4 to 3 inches, plus 2 x 3 and 3 x 4 inch rectangles.
• Pre-printed status labels. QC Passed, Inspected, Hold, Quarantine, Rejected, Return to Stock, Do Not Use and other fixed words, on 1 and 2 inch circles and 1.25 x 2, 2 x 3 and 3 x 5 inch rectangles.
• Months, days, years and numbers. For stock rotation and cycle counts. Month labels come on 1 and 2 inch circles and on 2 x 3 and 3 x 6 inch rectangles. Day labels come on 1 and 2 inch circles, and year labels on 2 and 3 inch circles. Number circles run 1 to 4 inches, and 1 x 1.5 inch rolls carry consecutive numbers.
• Rack location letters and numbers. 3.5 inch black and white vinyl characters with permanent adhesive, on 4 x 2.125 inch labels, 50 to a case. Letter and number kits are also stocked. The letter kit holds 50 of each letter A to Z, 1,300 labels in all.

Label formats at a glance

Buying by the roll and by the case

Prices in the tables are per roll or per pack. The per-label column divides that price by the labels on the roll, so sizes compare directly.

Volume pricing applies at checkout: 3% off orders of 3 or more items and 5% off orders of 6 or more. Each roll or pack counts as one item, and sizes and colors can be mixed.

Orders ship to street addresses in the contiguous US. Orders of one or two items with a product subtotal of $500 or more ship free when the checkout freight rate is $45 or less, or $90 or less on orders of $1,000 or more. Orders of three or more items get the volume discount instead of free shipping. Checkout shows the rate for your address before you pay.

For standing orders, mixed SKUs or larger quantities, send the SKUs, quantities and delivery ZIP code for a delivered quote.
