When comparing our program to what is available overseas, please keep these additional factors in mind:
Time & Compatibility
Verified Label uses a centralized manufacturing and distribution center located in Tampa, FL. Since we’re located in the US we are on the same clock as other US companies. This makes us very easy to reach and it speeds the flow of information. We can work out problems and answer questions with one simple phone call or email, instead of trading a series of messages back and forth.
Labor & Education
Bar coding is a small specialty operation within the manufacturing process. The more technical an operation is, the more important it is to use a specialist. When it comes to bar coding the specialists are in the US, where bar codes have been used for many years. Most countries outside the US and Europe do not use bar codes, so the technical knowledge isn’t available and mistakes are common.
Materials & Equipment
Verified Label uses only the highest quality materials and equipment. We have specifically designed our operation around bar codes. Businesses within most foreign countries do not use bar codes and have very few labeling requirements. Therefore, most foreign countries do not have a developed label industry. Quality materials are difficult to obtain on a reliable basis and labels that work well today are often manufactured with completely different materials next month. In addition, bar coding equipment is not widely available. This means that if a machine breaks down it may be several days before repairs can be made.
