Today, there are a variety of factors impacting supply chain strategy and ultimately labeling processes. Therefore, it’s important to take a close look at what changes are driving today’s trends in labeling, which has become a mission-critical component in the supply chain as businesses continue to expand globally. Growing customer demands and evolving regulatory requirements are just a couple of the trends which have been identified based on input from over 500 supply chain professionals, from a wide range of leading global companies, in a recent Enterprise Labeling Trends Survey.
1.) BUSINESSES ARE STANDARDIZING LABELING FOR CONSISTENCY & EFFICIENCY
As business continues to expand globally, com¬panies are recognizing the benefits of standard-izing their labeling across global supply chains. Standardizing enables labeling consistency, and dramatically streamlines maintenance and oversight, while offering the control to make rapid label changes throughout the supply chain. This standardized approach also helps global companies ensure business continuity in the face of disaster and empowers them to meet complex, global and high volume labeling demands.
