Nine capabilities, run by the same teams that store and ship your product.
Retail Compliance Labeling & Relabeling
Taylor supports retailer and marketplace-specific labeling requirements across unit, case, carton and pallet shipments. Our team can print, apply, verify and correct labels based on customer routing guides and program requirements before inventory moves into retail or eCommerce distribution.
From GS1-128 and SSCC carton labels to ASN-matched labels, UPC/GTIN, FNSKU, pallet routing labels, lot/date coding and relabeling, these programs can be coordinated alongside warehousing, kitting, fulfillment and transportation within the same 3PL operation.
