5 Ways On-Demand Labeling Can Help Improve Warehouse Efficiency

EpsonJune 6, 2025

Every label in your warehouse plays a role — whether it’s guiding put-away, managing stock, or ensuring the right package gets shipped. But outdated labeling processes can slow things down. Sorting through pre-printed labels, dealing with misprints, or struggling with hard-to-read tags can waste time and cause frustration for your team.

With Epson ColorWorks® label printers, printing on demand is easy. No more stockpiling pre-printed labels, fewer wasted materials, and less frustration when an urgent order needs a quick update. Whether you’re tracking inventory, managing shipments, or meeting compliance requirements, on-demand color labeling can help warehouses work more efficiently.

Here are five ways warehouses use Epson ColorWorks label printers to their advantage for smart labeling:

1. Maximize put-away and picking accuracy

Clear, color-coded labels make it easy for teams to spot the right items fast. Reduce mispicks and save time.

2. Minimize the risk of lost inventory

It’s easy to misplace products when labels are hard to read or prone to errors. With crisp, full-color printing and high-quality barcodes, tracking inventory can be simple and reliable.

3. Improve operational efficiency

One-step printing means no more juggling different label stocks or worrying about alignment issues. Print what you need, when you need it, to help keep your warehouse running smoothly.

4. Adapt to inventory changes

Stock levels and product details change fast. With on-demand printing, warehouses can quickly update labels to reflect new inventory, helping to reduce confusion and keeping operations agile.

5. Simplify shipping labels, improve their efficacy

With Label Boost® software and ColorWorks label printers*, you can include clear, color-coded instructions, highlight delivery urgency, such as “Overnight Shipping,” or call out fragile items to reduce handling errors — all on one shipping label.
