TrackAbout Recommendations for Roll Off Tracking Labels
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 Specifications
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 |
|
| Subsurface Printing | Subsurface printing protects against extreme solvents, caustics, acids and mild abrasion while eliminating need for a laminate |
| Adhesive | 002" MC78 adhesive. This adhesive has excellent durability, particularly suited for a wide range of poly and other low-surface energy materials (powderpaints,
etc). Great first initial tact, very hard to remove. |
| Abrasion Resistant | 2,500 revolutions on Taber Abrader |
| Chemical Resistant | When properly applied this adhesive can withstand splashes of organic solvents, weak acids and bases, salt water, cleaning solutions, germicidals, disinfectants, oils, etc. |
| UV Resistant | If exposed to UV 24/7, will last 7 years. If exposed intermittently, 7-10 years. |
This is how your labels will appear (image is not to scale):
Label Placement
Your labels will arrive in sets of two. Here is a graphic to help you with label placement on your containers:
When affixing labels, be sure to have a clean dry surface. Also, it's best to place the label in a place that won't receive regular rubbing but is easy to access for scanning purposes.
Here is an example of how the label appears on a container
