Totem Warehouse Labels: Visual Clarity That Drives Accuracy
In a busy warehouse, accuracy is everything and hesitation costs time. That’s where Pacific Barcode’s Totem Warehouse Labels come in. Also known as totem labels or stacked barcode labels, these vertical markers provide clear, intuitive guidance to pickers by identifying each rack level visually and systematically. There is no need for long-range scanners.
Whether you’re scaling a multi-level warehouse operation or eliminating picking errors, totem labels offer a smart, color-coded solution that aligns with your layout and reduces confusion on the floor.
What Are Totem Labels?
Totem labels are vertically stacked location markers applied to the upright posts of racking systems. Each section on the label represents a rack level. Labels are often color-coded and optionally include barcodes to guide workers to the correct shelf. These labels serve as a vertical roadmap that allows for faster picking and fewer mistakes.
By making each level visually distinct, they eliminate the need for expensive long-range scanners and help prevent mispicks. This is especially valuable in high-density storage areas where every second counts.
Why Totem Labels Improve Warehouse Accuracy
Modern warehouses require more than automation. They require systems that are simple, intuitive, and easy for people to follow. Totem warehouse labels help make that happen. They are used to:
- Improve picking speed with fast visual identification
- Reduce human error by removing guesswork
- Simplify employee training with color-coded guidance
- Remove the need for long-range scanners
Built to Last in Real-World Conditions
Warehouse environments are harsh, so we build totem warehouse labels to perform under pressure. Pacific Barcode manufactures each label in-house using:
