TrackAbout Recommends

TrackAbout has evaluated several label types, sizes and formats for use on Roll Off Containers. We've condensed our best practices into a set of recommendations for the label to use and how to use them.

Best Practices

  • 2 barcodes on each roll-off container
  • Place them near where a user is likely to be standing when picking up or dropping off.
  • Place them in the same location on every container.
  • Wipe the surface clean before attaching labels to a container

Label Sizes

We're recommending a 2.680 X 3.480 label. They have an excellent adhesive and will stand up to outdoor use for many years.

Large labels
Labels per container 2
Cost per container $1.00
Cost per roll 100 numbers for $100
Scanning distance (Using an iPhone 7 during the day) 4-5 feet
Advantages
  • Can scan from further away
  • More visible from a distance
  • More adhesive to stick to the container

This is how your labels will appear (image is not to scale):
