1. Content-Centric Approach for Labeling and Artwork Content

The webinar started with a discussion on a content-centric approach to labeling. Imagine a world where labeling starts with content. It's not just a dream; it's a game-changer. This approach aims to create a central source of truth, reduce redundancy, maintain consistent templates, and identify errors before they become issues.

2. Harness the Power of Label Templates

Label templates, often underestimated, were emphasized for their ability to save time and money. Templates make it quicker and simpler than ever to ensure that packaging is consistent, and artwork is on brand. Templates are particularly useful in regulated industries where they simplify the process of incorporating essential information into labels. Whether it’s cosmetics packaging, chemical labels, medication labels, or food labels, you can significantly speed up your process with the ability to drag and drop the right assets onto the right place with templates.

3. Simplifying Labeling Translations

The third tip addressed was the challenges of label translation. Lost in translation? Not anymore! The days of Googling translations for your labels are over. There are two possible approaches you can take to simplify labeling translations:

• Approach One: Traditional Translation Process

It's time-consuming and error-prone, resulting in variations and inconsistencies. We've got a better way.

• Approach Two: Centralized Translation Management

It's like magic - translations are stored in the cloud, linked to the master phrase, and accessible to all authorized parties. Master phrase linking allows non-native speakers to produce accurate localized labels without needing language knowledge. So, no more confusion, just clarity.

4. Embrace Global Labeling Solutions

The future of labeling management, as discussed, revolves around cloud-based SaaS solutions hosted on platforms like AWS and Azure. There is a long list of benefits. Here are some of the favorites:

• It's Gartner recommended
• Say goodbye to content approval delay headaches
• Shared label templates for a consistent brand
• Language variants managed with ease
• External partners at your fingertips

5. Automate Printing for Speed and Quality

Automation is recognized as a vital tool for simplifying the labeling process. It connects cloud data to local printers, enabling seamless data flow and efficient label printing. Automation eliminates manual tasks, IT complexities, and quality concerns.

Bridge the gap between cloud data and local printers with automated label printing. TEKLYNX automated labeling printing, SENTINEL, enables label printing to be initiated out of an ERP, WMS, or other business systems, including custom applications that receive and process data from a business system that sends a label print job to your printer(s).

A Final Look at Expert Tips for Labeling and Artwork Management

Finally, we concluded the webinar by asking attendees which tip would be most beneficial to their business. Tip one, centralized control of content and artwork, proved most popular, closely followed by tip four, bridging the gap of cloud data to local printers. This suggests that businesses are focused on greater efficiency and consistency and the growing relevance of cloud-based solutions in modern business operations.

In summary, these five expert tips offer practical solutions for labeling and artwork content management, eliminating inconsistencies and inefficiencies. If you're looking to save time, resources, and alleviate the challenges in your labeling process, these insights provide a clear path forward.
