The Many Uses Of Printed Labels

By Debra Hayes


Whether or not you pay attention to them, there are printed labels everywhere you go. They are on shipping packages and envelopes, food, drinks and even on doors and desks. They are looked at hundreds of times but no one really considers the significance of them.

This article will enlighten you as to where to look for a label and what they stand for. Although you read them many times a day, it probably does not even register that they are a label put there for a reason.

When most people hear the word label, an old fashioned label maker. These items allowed the user to make a label by choosing the letter or number and imprinting it on a plastic piece with an adhesive on the back. It could be put just about anywhere that had a hard surface.

With modern technology, making labels is very easily done and can have many styles and fonts. They can be customized to match the environment and can blend in to the surroundings, while at the same time, doing its purpose.

Labels have changed the way the mail is being delivered. Packages often include a bar code system that lets the delivery company know exactly where it is going and where it came from. It makes a quicker delivery for just about anything mailed anywhere around the world.

One very important label is the one that is on the food and drinks we consume. They often tell the ingredients, nutritional content and calories. If someone is allergic to certain foods, the label will tell if the product contains nuts, milk, eggs or whey. This will help them avoid the foods that contain what they are allergic to, therefore they know not to buy them for consumption.

Many offices use them to keep files and accounts straight, especially medical offices. Although computers have helped to control accidental prescriptions and messing up of patients, they are still used in some forms of medical coding. Many times, gloves and other necessary items used in medical offices will be labeled for faster locating in case of emergencies.

Medical offices are not the only type of office that uses them. Many other offices and businesses use them to help customers and clients find the exit and bathroom.

Everywhere you look, there is some type of label or sign. Even at the gasoline pump. If they did not have the different grades of gasoline labeled, you would not know which is which. If you put diesel fuel in a car that uses unleaded, and vice versa, you will soon have mechanical problems.

Whenever you really want to organize your home or office, the use of labels can be vital. They will make finding clothes, cleaning materials and other household items easy for just about anyone that lives or visits the home. If there are a lot of makeup or hair products, they can be arranged and labeled as to color and brand to help narrow the search.
