It is sometimes difficult to quantify the cost of poor quality. Customer complaints, returned goods, lower productivity through re-working or new manufacture, and waste materials are just some of the elements to be considered.
Thus, QC inspection forms a vital function in detecting and preventing defects, in both products and processes, to provide corrective actions and for preventing defective goods being shipped to customers.
Not only does this fortify bottom line financial performance, but has a critical impact on; reduction of waste, scrap or pollution; lower maintenance costs; increase productivity and operator efficiency; and bolster staff motivation and morale.
Label Source supply a range of QC and QA labelling for marking products, and in identifying their quality status. These include our QC inspection ranges, Inspection labels and our Production status label ranges.

Label Source has a proven track record of supplying custom printed racking location identification labels for many warehouse projects.

The most popular type is self adhesive synthetic materials, such as vinyl or polyester, with a protected surface laminate. These tear resistant labels are resistant to; water; abrasion; oils; cleaning solvents; and mild acids. Also, where there is a need to relocate stock positions, many customers opt for labels in magnetic material, which can be moved time and again without leaving any marks or residue.
