What is "The Placard"?
The PLACARD is the label holder that will enable you to repetitively label returnable/reusable totes, containers, drums and racking without the messy label and adhesive build up.
Any label can be attached to the Placard and when no longer needed, can be easily removed from the Placard – without scraping or scratching and most importantly, without leaving any sticky residue or shredded label behind. The Placard is meant to be permanently attached to the item. (chemical drum, wire basket, pallet, tote etc)
When you stick any label onto a metal or plastic surface the adhesive bonds very strongly, so when it comes time to remove the label it is extremely difficult. Typically paper labels tear and shred and you end up trying to pick it off which takes alot of time and effort. Or if you use a sharp knife, not only is it very dangerous you can damage the surface.
What form does the Placard come in?
The Placard comes in several forms:
- Board placard
- Container (label) placard
- Continuous roll with sticky adhesive
- Pouch & placard combined (to hold other documents as well)
- Sequential barcode placard
- Channel placard
- Magnetic placard
