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 Placement

Your labels will arrive in sets of two. This graphic provides the recommended label placement for your containers:

As stated above, 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. As you can see it's been place in a place that is visible and easy to scan.
