    A Simple Look At Printed Labels

    By Debra Hayes


    Whether or not you pay attention to them, there are printed labels everywhere you go. They are on shipping packages and envelopes, food, drinks and even on doors and desks. They are looked at hundreds of times but no one really considers the significance of them.

    This article will enlighten you as to where to look for a label and what they stand for. Although you read them many times a day, it probably does not even register that they are a label put there for a reason.

    Everyone has seen and probably used a label maker at least once in their life. It was a very useful invention in the years it was made and some are still used today. This item let the user pick the letters and numbers and punch them in a plastic strip with an adhesive back. Just peel the paper off and stick it on any hard surface.

    Although those label makers do a good job, technology has made it even better. You can find printing paper and design any label you want to. You can make them match the decorations in any color you choose and any font you like.

    One of the most popular labels are the ones that are placed on items that are being mailed or shipped. The bar codes on them often tell where they are supposed to go and who they go to. Packages and letters would not reach their destination if the information is not present.

    One very important label is the one that is on the food and drinks we consume. They often tell the ingredients, nutritional content and calories. If someone is allergic to certain foods, the label will tell if the product contains nuts, milk, eggs or whey. This will help them avoid the foods that contain what they are allergic to, therefore they know not to buy them for consumption.

    Many offices use them to keep files and accounts straight, especially medical offices. Although computers have helped to control accidental prescriptions and messing up of patients, they are still used in some forms of medical coding. Many times, gloves and other necessary items used in medical offices will be labeled for faster locating in case of emergencies.

    Medical offices are not the only type of office that uses them. Many other offices and businesses use them to help customers and clients find the exit and bathroom.

    Even places of business use signs of some kind to allow retailers and customers know where certain items are. A prime example of this is the gasoline pumps having signs that tell the high and low octane gasoline. A mix up in those types of fuel can often cause damage to the engine and will be a costly repair.

    Finally, labels can be a big a help in organizing and keeping a home as clean as it can be. When anyone wants to know where to find an item or put an item in its proper place, they will easily find the right spot to return or keep the product.
