Solutions for online logistics & retailers like DHL: shipping / parcel labels

Particularly important for smooth transport to the customer is the secure adhesion of the parcel labels to the often rough cardboard surfaces of the parcels and packages.

When parcels are sent with shipping service providers, parcel label formats need to fit the requirements of the shipping companies, such as DHL, EVRi (formerly HERMES), FedEx, GLS, DPD or UPS.

Typical labels for this application are self-adhesive and made of white paper or robust foil, and are usually printed in black only. Depending on the printing system, they are required on rolls or sheets. Unlike the pre-printed parcel labels for franking, these DHL shipping labels and EVRi shipping labels are blank and can be printed individually, for example with the recipient's address or the weight of the parcel.

But these DHL shipping labels, EVRi shipping labels, DPD shipping labels, UPS shipping labels and GLS shipping labels, as inconspicuous as they may seem, must function perfectly. The absolutely trouble-free passage through the printers and packaging systems is quite crucial. If even one parcel label out of thousands cannot be printed cleanly or causes printer jam, packaging lines can come to a standstill, Besides wasting time, this also costs money.

HERMA DHL labels, EVRi labels (formerly Hermes), FedEx labels, DPD  labels, UPS labels and GLS labels are made of high-quality label papers, as roll labels for thermal transfer printers and direct thermal printers, or as sheet labels for laser printers. The best print results with high contrast are particularly important for reliable machine barcode readability. This is the only way to ensure the control of shipping packages in the logistics process.

The cardboard packaging with its often rough surface places the highest demands on the pressure-sensitive adhesive of the DHL shipping labels, EVRi shipping labels, DPD shipping labels, UPS shipping labels and GLS shipping labels. When dispensing automatically at high labelling speeds, the parcel label must adhere quickly and securely. And even under rough conditions, the parcel label must not peel off in the fully automatic conveyor systems. Last but not least, it is also crucial that the parcel label remains securely in place on its way to the consumer.

Using innovative multi-layer technology, HERMA produces label composites in its own adhesive material production that are ideal for use on parcels and packages. Logistics service providers such as DHL, EVRi (formerly HERMES), FedEx, GLS, DPD and UPS, as well as online retailers and webshop operators, rely millions of times on HERMA parcel labels.
