Thermal transfer labels are often used on the factory floor for tagging sourced components when they arrive at the plant, to parts areas where shelves, bin boxes and tool cribs must be labeled to ensure speedy pick operations or for tools and asset management.

During production, barcode label systems identify and track items as they move through a facility or an assembly line. And in the warehouse, they are often used to mark racks, shelves, bins and to identify finished goods.
