What Are Integrated Labeling Forms?

Integrated labeling forms combine two important business documents into one. A single form can include information such as an invoice, packing slip, work order, or pick ticket, along with a pressure-sensitive shipping or product label.

Instead of printing separate forms and labels, everything is produced on one document, reducing handling, improving accuracy, and simplifying the shipping process.

💡 Dana’s Tip

If your employees are printing paperwork and labels separately, time the entire process from start to finish. Many companies are surprised how much labor can be eliminated by combining both into a single integrated form.
