Some Interesting Facts About Printed Labels

By Debra Hayes


Whether or not you pay attention to them, there are printed labels everywhere you go. They are on shipping packages and envelopes, food, drinks and even on doors and desks. They are looked at hundreds of times but no one really considers the significance of them.

Your thoughts about labels may be changed by reading this article. It makes points that most people do not consider in their day to day lives.

First, we are going to review the history of them. Before computers and printers, hand written notes were a way to warn people of danger or where something is located. Labeling became a fad with the label maker. You could spell out whatever you wanted and it would print out a small plastic sticker that could be stuck on a solid surface.

Although those label makers do a good job, technology has made it even better. You can find printing paper and design any label you want to. You can make them match the decorations in any color you choose and any font you like.

They are typically used on packages that need to be shipped. Most of them have a bar code so that a trained technician can use a scanner on them to see where they are from and where they are going. Without shipping information, packages would not make it to their destinations.

Another very important way labels are used are on foods and drinks. These are often read and can inform the consumer many different things about the product. It tells the nutritional value, the calorie count and what kind of ingredients are used to make the product. The most important about those kinds of labels is the fact it lists ingredients a lot of people are allergic to.

Many offices use them to keep files and accounts straight, especially medical offices. Although computers have helped to control accidental prescriptions and messing up of patients, they are still used in some forms of medical coding. Many times, gloves and other necessary items used in medical offices will be labeled for faster locating in case of emergencies.

Business offices will also mark where certain items are, even the bathroom. This helps keep disorganization to a minimum. When there are many people in a file cabinet, it keeps them in a certain place so they can be found a lot easier than just throwing them in the cabinet.

Labels are everywhere, all are printed in one way or another. If they were not there, many people would not know what they are looking for or what they are purchasing. For instance, if someone needed to get a high grade gasoline for their vehicle, they would not know what pump to use unless it was labeled somehow.

Finally, labels can be a big a help in organizing and keeping a home as clean as it can be. When anyone wants to know where to find an item or put an item in its proper place, they will easily find the right spot to return or keep the product.
