Pick. Pack. Ship. What?: The Integrated Label Story

by Andrew | Last Updated September 6, 2023

Why should you print your own shipping label sheets? Why should you change from cutting out the shipping information and taping it to your packages? Change is rarely a fun process, but businesses who make the correct changes achieve much more success in the long term. Read on to learn how your company can benefit from switching to integrated labels.

Change is Good

At Burris Computer Forms we strive to provide you with the best long term results both for your employee’s time and your company’s money. There’s nothing wrong with cutting and taping your address labels. It works. It will always work – but it also wastes time and paper too. Anything that wastes resources also wastes money and thus potential profits.

Pick. Pack. Ship.

The term “Pick. Pack. Ship.” comes from the fact that our blank integrated labels integrate all three of those components into one smooth flowing process. If you’re a larger company with pickers who grab the product from the warehouse, the label provides a list of items to be picked. The top half of our labels is perforated and can be removed after picking and packed into the box as the customer’s packing slip. The remaining portion is the shipping label, an adhesive sticker that can be peeled off and applied to the box. Then, you can send it to the customer. This process allows you to print one sheet with all necessary information and helps employees much more efficiently pick, pack and ship the order.

Will integrated labels work for us?

There are many variations of this process depending on the company needs and size. Some companies want two labels so they can provide a return label. Others also want a label for a barcode, scanned though the pick, pack, ship process in larger facilities. There is no fulfillment center too large or small to benefit from a streamlined pick, pack, ship process and we’ll be happy to consult on your specific company and provide samples for testing. Only when you save money can we make money. We base our entire business off lowering your expenses and improving your processes and we’re very good at it!
