In warehouse management, the smallest tools can make the biggest differences. A frictionless warehouse doesn’t always need to rely on the latest technology to get by. Ticket pouches, for example, are extremely simple, but when used properly, they can have positive knock-on effects.
A ticket pouch is a small, clear plastic sign holder which presents information. Instructions, signs and labels can be cut to fit them. These pouches can be affixed to shelving, racking, filing cabinets and storage cabinets.
Below, we’ll discuss how to use ticket pouches, and why you should consider them if you’re figuring out how to organise the warehouse.
How to Use Ticket Pouches
Using ticket pouches is very easy. Each ticket pouch comes with a bond adhesive, which affixes them strongly to your desired area.
To use a ticket pouch, simply:
- Clean the area where you’re going to be affixing the pouch. This is to ensure the adhesive bonds to it properly.
- Apply the ticket pouch to the area by pressing firmly.
- Cut the label to size and place it in the pouch.
The adhesive ensures that if staff accidentally hit the pouch, it won’t fall off, so you won’t have to worry about that too much.
However, before affixing, it’s worth answering these questions:
- Is the information in the ticket pouch readable?
- Is it in the best place to be seen?
Warehouse management relies on processes being near-automatic, so ensure that solutions like ticket pouches are easily read.
How Ticket Pouches Can Help Warehouse Management
If you’re struggling with learning how to manage warehouse inventory, then additional elements like ticket pouches can help.
Ticket pouches can:
- Present information clearly and quickly.
- Be colour-coded for certain types of stock easily.
- Easily be changed or modified.
As we discussed in our How Arrow Labels Can Make Your Warehouse More Efficient blog, warehouse management relies on things flowing quickly. Having stock without proper signage only increases the potential for confusion, which affects efficiency, speed and, ultimately, your bottom line.
