How to Save Money on a4 Address Labels for Your E-commerce Business?
Address labels are an essential part of e-commerce logistics. No matter the size of your store, using an address label clarifies the content or shipping information of a package.
While address labels are essential, they can quickly add to the total expenditure of an e-commerce business. As a result, many business owners often wonder what they can do to save money on address labels.
One of the easiest ways to save money on address labels is using A4 address labels. A4 address labels are a popular choice not only because they are cost-effective and versatile and come in several types and varieties.
In this article, you will learn some tips you can use to save money on A4 address labels. But first, let’s look at the different types of A4 address labels in the market.
Types of A4 Address Labels in the Market?
A4 address labels are fantastic as they come in different variations. You can find A4 address labels in variations of 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 21, 24, 30, 33, and 65 per sheets.
Most e-commerce business owners use A4 labels for barcoding on products. Other e-commerce business owners use it to provide information about the product and fill shipping address information, amongst other things.
While there are different types of A4 address labels, what you want to use them for will determine the kind of address label you get. Below we categorised A4 address labels but not limited into two major groups:
According to Features- Waterproof labels
When the package you are labelling will be exposed to the elements, a waterproof label is more appropriate. So, a little bit of rain or water splashes wouldn't damage your label.
- Stretch-resistant labels
The stretch-resistant labels are a safe and secure option you can use when you want to ensure no one tampers with your package. If stretched, it will be obvious that someone tampered with it.
- Removable labels
As the name suggests, removable labels are removable when no longer in need. Therefore, this label is ideal when temporary labelling is needed.
According to Material- Matte paper
Labels made with matte paper are translucent, non-shiny material with an attractive texture. Matte paper labels give your package a subtle, elegant, organic look.
- Gloss-finish paper
Unlike matte labels, labels made with a gloss finish are transparent, clear, and shiny. Gloss-finish paper labels give your package a simple, sophisticated, and vibrant look.
- Transparent labels
If you do not want to use a gloss-finish paper label, you can always choose a transparent label. Transparent labels are made from a clear polyester material that makes them strong and waterproof.
Now that you know the different types and variations of labels you can use in your e-commerce business, what's next? Below are some tips that will help you save money on address labels.
