Is Your Shipping Label Costing You More Than You Think?

Every day, logistics managers across the US face these costly, avoidable issues with standard shipping label paper rolls:

  • 🔴 8% of packages are returned due to label peeling — That’s nearly 1 in 12 shipments lost in transit, costing $12–$18 per return.
  • 🔴 Thermal coating failures after 6 months — Scanners can’t read faded barcodes, causing bottlenecks at distribution hubs.
  • 🔴 Endless rewinding waste — Poorly wound rolls jam printers, wasting 15+ minutes per shift per operator.
  • 🔴 Overpaying by 40% via intermediaries — You’re likely paying a premium for labels that cost 35% less directly from the manufacturer.

These aren’t small inconveniences – they hurt your DIFOT rate, increase OPEX, and frustrate your team.
