Warehouse racking labels can be updated using C Profile magnetic tape on suitable steel shelving and racking. The magnetic profile holds a removable card behind a clear acetate cover, allowing the displayed information to be changed without replacing the complete label holder.
Why use changeable magnetic racking labels?
Stock locations, picking references and racking layouts do not always remain fixed. When the information changes, permanently applied labels may need to be removed and replaced.
C Profile magnetic tape provides a changeable alternative for suitable steel surfaces. If only the information needs updating, the card insert can be replaced. If the label needs to move to another location, the magnetic profile can be repositioned on compatible racking.
What is C Profile magnetic tape?
C Profile magnetic tape is a magnetic label holder named after the shape of its profile. Anchor Magnets supplies it cut to length with a card insert and clear acetate cover.
The magnetic backing attaches to suitable steel shelving or racking. The card displays the required information, while the clear cover holds it within the profile and keeps it visible.
Anchor Magnets produces C Profile magnetic labels in widths from 10mm to 60mm. Standard product options include different widths and lengths, with other requirements available to discuss.
Can C Profile magnetic tape be used on any racking?
No. The surface needs to be steel or otherwise ferrous enough for the magnetic profile to attach securely.
Not every metallic-looking surface is suitable. Surface coatings, the shape of the racking face and the available contact area should also be considered. Testing a sample on the actual racking is the safest way to check the fit and magnetic hold before placing a larger order.
Where the surface is not steel or ferrous, another material arrangement may be needed. Anchor Magnets can discuss options such as steel tape or ferrous material, depending on the substrate and how the label will be used.
What should you check before ordering magnetic racking labels?
A few practical details will help identify the right C Profile magnetic tape:
- The width and length available on the racking face
- The size of the card or information being displayed
- Whether the card will be changed regularly
- The type of surface the profile will attach to
- The quantity required
- Whether the labels form part of a repeat warehouse identification system
Photos, measurements or a sample of the existing label can also help when matching an established arrangement.
