What is sequential numbering for labels?
Sequential numbering involves adding an ascending or descending numerical sequence to your labels. This gives each label its own unique identifier, and can follow a sequence provided by you, or may be based on specific regulatory requirements. It gives you a way to track and identify items, can be paired with barcodes if desired, and is useful for a variety of applications.
What are sequentially numbered labels used for?
Sequential numbering on your labels can help you identify, track, and categorise products, assets or inventory, and give you a straightforward method of organising. It's also useful in cases of theft or batch issues with products, allowing for precise traceability. Some examples of how numbering can be useful are:
- A chemical product manufacturer wants to ensure their individual product containers can be traced back to the date/location that they were filled. Sequentially numbered chemical product labels allow them to do this by assigning each individual product a unique numerical identifier, that is tracked when it passes through their manufacturing facility.
- A healthcare company has medical equipment that needs to be regularly maintained. Sequentially numbered asset labels, cross-referenced to their database, help them to track and monitor which equipment requires maintenance checks, and when.
- A manufacturer has received a customer complaint about a faulty product! Fortunately they use sequentially numbered labels on their products, which enables them to identify the product and investigate the incident to proceed with a warranty claim.
Why choose sequentially numbered labels?
Sequentially numbered labels provide an easy, manageable solution for streamlining various aspects of your operations. Plus, compared to stand-alone barcodes they're more user friendly for your customers in the event that you require them to give you information (such as for a warranty claim), as they allow identification of their numerical sequence without the use of a barcode scanner. Sequentially numbered labels can save you time and hassle, giving you flexibility to focus on other aspects of your business knowing that your labels are working on your behalf.
