When you consider the cost of the labels you’re buying to apply to your products and packaging, it’s not just the cost of the labels themselves. Additional factors contribute to the overall investment you’re making and can have an unforeseen impact to your operations that actually make your labels quite expensive.
So, what do your current labels really cost you?
- They cost you unnecessary downtime due to poor adhesion or jamming your equipment.
- They cost you additional freight expense due to distance when shipped to your location.
- They cost the environment due to additional carbon emissions from that longer travel distance.
- They cost you retailer chargeback fines due to poor barcode quality or adhesion.
ID Technology will help you mitigate those unforeseen and unneeded costs due to your current underperforming labels. With our eight label production facilities across North America and extensive production capabilities, we’re uniquely positioned to provide additional benefits not found in other label producers.
Don’t Let Your Labels Bring You Down.
Quality Labels for Maximizing Uptime
Unplanned downtime is one of the killers of efficiency in your packaging operation, so everything we do at ProMach Labeling & Coding is planned to keep downtime to a minimum. Our labels, whether printed for prime packaging or blank labels for your logistics and secondary packaging, are engineered to match your application completely.
✅ The correct material and adhesive combination for the application conditions is crucial to keep your labeling systems operating at peak efficiency. As one of the largest manufacturers of pressure-sensitive labels, we have access to a wide range of material options.
✅ Web breakage caused by poor die-cutting is a significant cause of labeler downtime. ID Technology labels are expertly die-cut and trimmed, with multiple inspections during manufacturing to ensure consistency.
✅ Maximize the number of labels per roll – ID Technology AutoSeries EX labels provide 20% more per roll, reducing line stoppages for label replenishment.
✅ When using thermal transfer labels – ID Technology label/ribbon kits are matched in length to also reduce the number of line stoppages for adding new print media.
National Footprint. Local Presence.
Closer to You for Reduced Shipping Time and Expense
Freight can often be a large part of your overall label costs, especially when labels have to be shipped over long distances from the point of manufacture.
ID Technology is always close to our customers, with eight label production plants located across North America.
✅ Reducing shipping distances means lower freight costs and reduced total labeling costs.
✅ Shipping times are reduced, getting your labels to your plant faster and reducing the need for expensive express shipping.
✅ Every single one of our label production facilities can produce 12″ and 14″ OD label rolls for use in high-speed, auto-apply applications. We’re the specialists in this area – with a reach and capabilities no other label producer can claim.
Minimizing Impact for Maximum Returns.
Proactive Solutions to Environmental Impact
Our label solutions help maximize your bottom line and reduce the environmental impact of the labels you use.
From our innovative label constructions that reduce waste to our regional manufacturing that lowers freight miles and emissions, ID Technology is your partner for helping the environment.
✅ Utilizing our direct thermal labels, rather than thermal transfer, for secondary packaging labeling avoids rolls of used ribbon being sent to landfills.
✅ The AutoSeries EX labels have a thinner liner – again, a reduction in waste and landfill content.
✅ When using AutoSeries EX labels, more labels per roll means fewer pallets to ship, manage, and store. Good for the environment and your margins.
✅ Fewer and shorter distance deliveries reduce the overall carbon footprint from transportation.
Cleaner Lines. Reduced Fines.

Chargebacks from retailers can be expensive, and non-conformance can damage important relationships. Using ID Technology labels provides the means to minimize any risks associated with meeting customer and industry mandates.
