Adhesive vs. Magnetic Warehouse Labels: How to Choose
Before choosing labels for your warehouse, consider factors such as humidity; temperature; dirt, dust, and small particle debris on shelves; and how to position labels for maximum visibility and utility and minimum friction.
- Adhesives are the only option for non-metal or non-magnetic shelves. On the other hand, they will not last in high humidity, extreme temperature, or high-dust/dirt environments.
- Magnets will work in any temperature, and can withstand dust and humidity. On the downside, they can be knocked out of place by large crates and high-friction situations.
What metals are magnetic? Magnets will not adhere to metals that do not contain iron, such as stainless steel or aluminum, but they will adhere to standard steel or painted steel shelving, which contains iron.
