5S System Efficiency in Business
A Five-S System is an approach to improvement within a facility or manufacturing plant that focuses on the 5 S philosophy. The basis of a Five-S System is based on common sense.
ThE 5 S's are Sorting, Systematize, Shine, Standardize and Sustain. Part of 5 S involves using good labeling and signage practices. It involves properly labeling, identifying and providing needed information at the point of use. Use the above links to learn more.

DuraLabel Enhances Visual Safety Communication
Our purpose is to present labeling tutorials that will help you use
your labeler more effectively. Technology has made these machines
very easy-to-use, smaller and lighter, and very powerful. Many times,
however, we do not utilize a labeler's capabilities until after a problem
in the facility has been identified.
When the problem involves safety, having an in-house label printer lets
you address safety communication issues immediately. We hope the information
on this web site will help you identify and solve safety related issues
before they become a safety problem.

Visual Communication Promotes Facility Productivity
When the problem involves productivity, the best approach is also to
solve the problem before it becomes an issue. In some cases solving
a safety problem also solves a productivity problem. In other cases
it may appear that solving the safety problem will decrease productivity.
One of the lessons provided here is to show how to calculate the cost
of poor safety practices. While employee safety is not an issue in which
decisions should be made based on how much money you save, you may be
surprised to see that improving safety will boost your bottom line.
Productivity can also be improved through communicating information
and directions at the the point of need. One of the lessons on this web
site shows how to create a visually instructive workplace.

DuraLabel Finds a Home in Schools
Schools will also find label printers to be valuable investments not only for
safety related issues but also to help with classroom instruction
and general information requirements. Several printers have been
specifically designed for use in schools. We take a look at the
best equipment for schools and evaluate how they can be used.
In addition to looking at various applications, this web site also provides
brief reviews of several machines. We look at their features and available supplies
and evaluate their suitability for specific applications.

Learn More About the Effectiveness of Industrial Labeling
Thank you for visiting the Industrial Labelers web site.
We're glad you've taken the time to visit us and we hope the information
provided here is helpful. The importance of labeling is not often
recognized. Labels provide needed information and can at times seem
to be just another part of the facility. No one gives much
thought as to how labels get there until information is needed and
a label is missing.
Having a label tape that is durable (inks that don't smear or fade,
adhesives that stay stuck, etc...) is important. There is a lot of technology
that goes into making what appears to be a simple label. On the Industrial
Labelers web site, we only recommend labeling equipment and supplies from
manufacturers you can trust to produce quality equipment and supplies.
At the top of that list you'll find brands and printers such as the
DuraLabel Pro 300 Labeler,
DuraLabel Pro 300 and DuraLabel Pro Supplies,
K-Sun label printers among others.
