Can You Print Custom-Size Labels and Ship Them Directly to Our Manufacturer?
We can print custom-size labels, coordinate details with your manufacturer, and ship labels directly to the factory to save time and shipping costs.
Yes.
We can print custom-size labels based on your product and packaging requirements and ship the finished labels directly to your product manufacturer instead of sending them to you first.
Many of our customers already use this workflow.
Instead of receiving the labels yourself and then arranging another shipment to the factory, the labels can go directly from our production facility to the location where they will actually be used.
This can help reduce both shipping costs and communication time.
We Can Coordinate Directly With Your Manufacturer
With your authorization, we can also communicate directly with your product manufacturer about the label details.
This is especially useful when the factory has technical requirements that are easier to confirm directly with the label printing supplier.
For example, we may confirm:
- final label size
- label material
- roll specifications
- application method
- packing requirements
- shipping information
- any special requirements from the production facility
Instead of the customer repeatedly passing information between the two factories, direct communication can make the process faster and reduce misunderstandings.
What If the Labels Will Be Machine Applied?
If your manufacturer uses an automatic labeling machine, we need to confirm several important roll specifications before production.
These normally include:
Core Size
The core size needs to match the labeling equipment used by the manufacturer.
Unwind Direction
The unwind direction determines how the roll labels feed into the labeling machine and how the artwork is positioned during application.
Maximum Outer Roll Diameter
The finished roll also needs to stay within the maximum roll diameter accepted by the machine.
These details may look minor, but they are very important.
If the finished labels do not match the labeling machine, the manufacturer may not be able to apply them automatically.
That can create unnecessary production delays or even require manual labeling.
Why Direct Coordination Can Be More Efficient
When the label manufacturer and the product manufacturer communicate directly, technical questions can often be solved more quickly.
For example, instead of the product factory asking you a question, you forwarding it to us, and then sending our answer back to them, we can clarify the details directly once you authorize us to do so.
This helps reduce communication time and the chance of important technical information being misunderstood.
Direct Shipping Can Also Reduce Logistics Costs
There is another practical advantage.
If we ship the custom product labels to you first, and then you ship them again to the manufacturer, the labels go through an unnecessary extra transportation step.
Direct shipping removes that step.
The finished labels can be packed and sent directly to the product manufacturing facility, ready for use.
For customers whose products are manufactured in a different location from their office or warehouse, this can be a much more convenient arrangement.
This Is a Workflow We Already Use With Customers
Direct shipping to manufacturers is not unusual for us.
We already work with customers who ask us to send their labels directly to filling facilities, product factories, or other production partners.
The important part is not simply putting the manufacturer's address on the carton.
Before printing, we make sure the relevant label requirements are confirmed carefully so that the finished labels arrive ready for production.
Our goal is to make the process easier for the customer rather than create another task for them to manage.
If we can handle the label details directly with the manufacturer, the customer can spend less time coordinating packaging and more time focusing on the product and the business.
