Retail

As e-commerce and brick-and-mortar continue to merge, retailers face increasing complexities with omnichannel pricing strategies. Recent studies show that 85% of Buy Online, Pick Up In-Store (BOPIS) customers make additional purchases when picking up their orders in-store. Another common customer behavior is showrooming, where customers visit stores to experience products firsthand before purchasing online. These demands require retailers to maintain competitive pricing across both online and offline stores to retain potential customers.

Linerless is emerging as a favored labeling solution. Whether in retail, logistics, healthcare, or beyond, enterprises are seeking a greener, more efficient labeling experience. Dive into our ultimate Q&A guide below to help you make informed decisions on integrating Linerless Labeling into your operations for sustainable and streamlined labeling.

Although traditional labels have been widely used in the retail sector, they have certain limitations. The traditional label length is fixed with a set length of cut labels within each roll. To adapt to varying label lengths, users tend to purchase multiple printers, one for each label length type. Alternatively, users will stop operations to change label rolls if there are a limited number of printers. This affects operational efficiency and throughput significantly.

Businesses today actively seek ways to minimize their environmental impact and enhance workplace safety. One effective approach is transitioning from traditional labels to linerless labels. This transition not only reduces environmental impact but also aligns seamlessly with regulatory compliance, significantly enhancing operational efficiency.

As the world economy has decelerated since 2021, job markets in OECD countries remain strained. Despite employment rates returning to pre-pandemic levels and unemployment rates hitting their lowest since the early 1970s, a stark labor shortage persists due to a lack of qualified talent, highlighting a supply-demand imbalance.

In the fast-paced world of business, every minute counts. When a critical printer in your high-security network goes down, the impact can be immediate and crippling. Lost productivity, delayed shipments, and frustrated customers – it's a scenario no one wants to face. But with TSC Printronix Enterprise printers and their revolutionary Rapid Deployment feature, those panic attacks are a thing of the past.

In today's world, there is a great variety of media available to meet the growing demands of diverse printing applications. While having the ability to print long labels and specific labels for various vertical market applications is important, achieving precise printing is a different challenge altogether. These labels often pose difficulties as printers are typically designed for common or frequently used media. Additionally, printers need to be able to adjust for special or difficult media. That's where the TH DH Series comes in, offering an easy solution for printing difficult labels. The TH DH Series is specially designed to provide end users with precise label printing capabilities, with vertical DPI (dots per inch) being a key factor in achieving this level of accuracy.

Printer management is necessary for the proper functioning and completion of print jobs. Tasks such as printer configurations, condition monitoring, and troubleshooting are essential. However, managing printers, especially on a large shop floor or printer fleet, can be challenging. That’s why real-time remote management is a vital aspect of printer management as it allows for printer control from anywhere on the premises. The TH DH Series Desktop Printer enhances real-time remote printer management in three ways: the Internal Embedded Webpage, the virtual control panel, and two software tools－TSC Console and SOTI Connect.

When you purchase apparel items, you will notice they always come with a hang tag and a care label. Based on Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and European Union (EU) regulations, labels are required on apparel products to clearly state necessary information in order to sell to end consumers. Typically manufacturers have the labels printed by service bureaus specializing in these types of labels. However, this approach has limited flexibility for change since the label contents have already been set. It also results in additional costs to print new labels and makes it harder to manage inventory for the variety of labels. Manufacturers can use an in-house label printer to overcome difficulties and conquer apparel label printing with ease.

In response to the growing issue of foodborne illnesses and contamination risks in the supply chain, governments are modernizing food traceability regulations. For instance, in the United States, the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) section 204(d) and in the European Union, Regulation (EC) No. 178/2002 are being implemented within the food and beverage industry. The focus of these regulations is on prevention and improving transparency to protect public health.
