2×1 Labels for Multi-Part Shipping.
by Chelsea Camper | Last Updated February 26, 2020Some companies need to ship their products out in small, lightweight packages and need to apply multiple lables to each package. In a recent case study done by The BarCode News, Oasis Supply Company explained how they use multiple labels for shipping. The case study states:
“(They use) the LS-2X1B4 computer form from Burris, with four 
peel-off labels on the page. Each space is reserved for a piece of information used during the packaging and mailing process.
One peel-off label takes the bar code, another the order number – which prints if there’s a problem generating the bar code – and the last two show the shipping method (i.e. first class, next day air, priority). Once the package is ready to go, the shipping label goes on top of of the bar code label, so the customer never sees it.”
By using the bar code label to generate a shipping label they have all but eliminated their shipping errors; products go to the correct customers.
If your company has even more pieces of information that align with each package, the LS-2x1B4 has a big brother: LS-2x1B8. It still provides room at the top for your packing list to be printed on and detached via perforation and it has twice as many labels.
While both of these layouts were designed to be used as shipping label sheets, they can be used for a variety of other uses:
- Cable labels for construction with information form
- Inventory tracking with bar codes and information form
- Library book tracking with information form
- Pharmacy labels
- Test tube labels
- And more
