Print Your Own Carton Labels with Epson ColorWorks C3400 Color Label Printer!

When it comes to product labeling, the product tends to be the star of the show. However, other labels play an important supporting role: carton labels. Cartons have traditionally been labeled with inexpensive black thermal labels and barcodes. While this type of carton label serves its purpose, a new breed of carton box labels has arrived: color carton labels.

Benefits of Using Color Carton Labels

Like their black and white predecessors, color carton labels provide important product and tracking information. With integrated barcodes, inventory can be scanned and tracked. Meanwhile, colorful graphics depicting the product within the carton ease the jobs of stockers and pickers. One look and employees instantly know what the carton contains.

In addition, many big box stores such as Home Depot, Lowe's, Costco, and Sam's Club stock and sell unopened cartons on the showroom floor or retail shelves. With colorful carton labels, consumers can quickly see what's for sale – even if the products remain hidden inside their original cartons. Which is more appealing – a carton with nothing but text and a barcode or a carton containing colorful images, familiar logos, and other forms of branding?
