Printable Smart Label Offers Worldwide Tracking of Cargo and Parcels

April 25, 2026

Reelables, the first company to produce a printable active smart label for tracking cargo and inventory, recently announced its Anywhere product. For the first time, logistics providers, retailers and manufacturers can track in real-time shipments, parcels and cargo all over the world starting at $8 per label. 

Reelables launched the solution at the MODEX conference, which took place April 13-16 in Atlanta, Georgia.

Reelables first launched its Bluetooth smart label in 2019 and its cellular smart label in 2023. Today, millions of Reelables’ labels are being printed and deployed around the world, tracking point-to-point visibility and giving businesses a single source of truth for where their cargo is that is consistent and reliable across different modes of transport and transportation providers. 

The labels provide continuous visibility into cargo movements, capturing facility arrivals and departures, verifying truck-level contents, and detecting when individual items within a shipment diverge.

Reelables is now using its infrastructure-free terrestrial BLE network and major partner network providers to deliver this tracking technology to enterprises all over the world for a fraction of the cost of other trackers.

Anywhere smart labels are ultra-thin, 2x4-inch stickers that can be activated individually using a smartphone or smart warehouse device, and in larger volumes can be activated by printing them through a barcode printer.

Reelables Anywhere smart labels are approved for air transport and compatible with standard recycling streams, eliminating the need for e-waste disposal. Unlike traditional tracking devices, they do not classify as e-waste and do not interfere with recycling cardboard packaging.

“What Reelables have created in their Anywhere label is groundbreaking and marks a paradigm shift in global tracking,” said Ray Crowley, CTO of Arviem. “Arviem, as an early adopter, with several ongoing POC’s within diverse supply chains, have fully integrated the Anywhere label. The labels’ performance, coupled with significant client excitement, shows that the Anywhere label will form an important part of Arviem’s trusted solution suite.”

“We’re at an inflection point in shipment visibility,” said David Stanton, Co-founder and CEO of Reelables. “Smart labels and Bluetooth networks have reached the scale and cost efficiency needed to track every shipment. Anywhere delivers real-time, piece-level tracking at a price that makes labeling every package not just possible, but practical—anywhere in the world.”
