How Our Carton Labeling Process Works
Our carton labeling service begins with a detailed assessment of your packaging and retailer compliance needs. To ensure precision when creating labels, we use high-end automatic label applicators, which apply UPC, SKU, and GS1-128 labels with millimeter accuracy, preventing costly misalignment errors that could lead to rejected shipments.
For high-volume labeling, we employ industrial barcode printers, capable of producing thousands of labels per hour with crisp, high-resolution text and scannable barcodes. Our real-time barcode verification system scans each label post-application to confirm compliance with Amazon, Walmart, Loblaws, Costco, and other retail standards.
After labeling, cartons are sorted, palletized, and staged for shipping using our robotic palletizers, ensuring smooth, damage-free handling before final distribution. Whether you're shipping products direct to store (DTS), through third-party fulfillment centers, or to cross-border markets, our Toronto labeling and logistics network guarantees on-time, retailer-compliant delivery.
Why Businesses Need Professional Carton Labeling Services
Carton labeling is one of those value-added services that can benefit any business, and retail companies often rely on carton labeling to organize their extensive collection of cartons and packaged units.
Plus, retailers and distributors enforce strict labeling requirements, and failure to comply can result in penalties, rejected shipments, or delayed processing times. Common challenges businesses face include:
- Incorrect Label Placement
- Retail Compliance Issues
- Inefficient Labeling Processes
For example, a Toronto-based beverage company shipping products to a national retailer faced repeated shipment rejections due to incorrect GS1-128 barcode placement on their cartons. Their labels were either misaligned, too small for scanning, or not applied to the designated area specified by the retailer. By partnering with 18 Wheels Warehousing & Trucking, they integrated our automatic label applicators into their packaging process, ensuring precise, retailer-compliant barcode labeling.
