Why is Magnetic Labelling Useful?
Magnetic labels are an easy, mess-free way to quickly swap out information, making them ideal waste-free labels for information with quick turnarounds. With a variety of text options to choose from, these magnetic labels can be used to identify:
- Expiry date
- Shelf life
- Min/max stock
- Unit of issue
Magnetic labels for racking can also be used to provide special instructions and information where necessary. Examples include:
- Quarantine
- Return to supplier
- Do not reorder

How Do You Label Storage Racks?
When labelling your storage racks, the most important thing is to keep to a consistent pattern. This should be done by using letters, numbers, or both, depending on the number of racks you need to label. By using a letter or number system, you can create an easy key to identify where your items are. This is known as standard rack labelling.
If you’re working with a vast warehouse, for example, you may consider a system of 1a, 1b, 1c, etc. Or, you could use a descriptive term followed by a number, such as ‘Packaged Goods: 1’.
