Labels for E-commerce & fulfilment Marking that links order, article and parcel

Varying carton grades, high-speed sorters and the return as the parcel’s second run: in fulfilment every marking has to survive its process step. We manufacture to your specification – from the roll label at the packing station to the returns form.

Labels and printed documents

What is marked in fulfilment

From the article to the logistics unit to the document – from one source, matched to each other.

Shipping labels
01

Shipping labels

Rolls for direct thermal printing at the packing station, sheets for laser and inkjet – layout and data elements to carrier and fulfilment specification.

Returns labels
02

Returns labels

For the carton’s second run: returns IDs, covering old codes and removable versions where packaging is reused.

GTIN and article labels
03

GTIN and article labels

GTIN, SKU and batch on article, polybag and set – clear text and code in one construction, verifiable to ISO/IEC 15416.

SSCC and pallet labels
04

SSCC and pallet labels

The GS1 Logistic Label for goods-in, relocation and dispatch handover – SSCC and additional data to your system specification.

Location and container labels
05

Location and container labels

Rack, bin, tote and consolidation point: large, scan-proof lettering – permanent or removable for re-marking.

Packing slips, returns forms and receipts
06

Packing slips, returns forms and receipts

Pick and pack lists, returns forms, goods-in and damage receipts – single sheet, continuous, pad or carbonless set, perforated and numbered.

Products for e-commerce and fulfilment

What we produce for this industry, sorted by product area. Each card leads to the product page with materials and versions.

Technical basis

What we discuss before choosing the material

Carton is not just carton, and the packing station is not the sorter. We clarify these four points with you – sampling happens in the real process.

Substrate
  • Corrugated board absorbs and dusts – recycled grades vary by batch
  • PE polybags are low-energy substrates
  • Returnable totes need removable or over-labelable marking
Moisture and abrasion
  • Moisture and condensation along the shipping route
  • Friction on conveyors and chutes
  • Adhesive choice by carton and process, not by catalogue
Temperature
  • Consider application and service temperature separately
  • Chilled and frozen shipping only with an adhesive tested for it per material code
  • Temperature changes between warehouse, vehicle and delivery
Sorting and process
  • Sorters deform parcels – the code must stay readable
  • ISO/IEC 15416 and 15415 provide the test methods for 1D and 2D codes
  • High cycle rates demand reliable variable-data printing

Deadlines

Two dates that affect marking and documents

The General Product Safety Regulation (EU) 2023/988 has applied since 13 December 2024 – manufacturer information must appear on the product and in the online offer; the label can carry this data but does not replace the offer presentation. The EU Packaging Regulation (PPWR) applies in principle from 12 August 2026, with individual marking obligations following at later dates. Structure labels and documents now, and later you change data instead of processes.

  • Shipment and returns IDs from our number range management
  • GS1 data structures such as GTIN and SSCC to your system specification
  • Repeat orders with identical construction and documented material code

When the problem is not the label but the process before it

Order, stock and returns data already sit in your shop, OMS or WMS. With hummel360° we map how they turn into delivery notes, labels and inserts, without anyone typing the same data a second time.

  • Order data becomes print

    Line items, recipient and shipping method arrive through an interface, CSV or Excel, and the delivery note, returns document and label come out as finished print data. Connecting your shop system is set up in the project.

  • Brands and retailers order for themselves

    Own logins, own range, own templates: whoever belongs to you calls up approved print products themselves and sees stock per warehouse with reorder level and replenishment prompt.

  • Inserts by rule rather than by feel

    Which motif, which QR code or which information goes into the parcel can be tied to order data. We add the rule set and the landing pages to your portal.

Carton, polybag or tote, printer at the packing station, cycle rate and returns route – from that comes a recommendation for material and roll conversion.
