How IPEX Transformed 30 Warehouses with Smarter Rack Labeling

When it comes to warehouse management, small inefficiencies add up quickly. For IPEX, a global leader in thermoplastic piping systems, one persistent challenge kept resurfacing: rack labels.

The Challenge: Poor Adhesion, Poor Readability

IPEX’s existing rack labels struggled on two fronts:

• Weak adhesion. Magnets wouldn’t stay put, creating constant relabeling headaches.
• Low readability. Barcodes and text weren’t clear enough to keep up with the fast pace of warehouse operations.

With an ERP launch on the horizon and global operations to scale, IPEX knew they couldn’t afford these inefficiencies any longer. They needed a partner who could deliver labels that were professional, durable, and easy to read—and who could support a rollout across dozens of facilities.

The Solution: A True Warehouse Labeling Partner

That’s where Express Identification Products came in. With decades of experience designing and manufacturing identification solutions for complex warehouse environments, Express was ready to step in.

Express worked closely with IPEX to design and produce custom rack label samples—built to address their exact needs. These prototypes immediately impressed IPEX:

• Superior adhesion meant the labels stayed where they belonged.
• Crystal-clear readability boosted scan accuracy and warehouse flow.

The difference was obvious. For IPEX, this wasn’t just an improvement—it was a complete transformation.

The Results: 30 Warehouses, One Standard

Confident in the quality and scalability of Express’s solution, IPEX committed to a sweeping upgrade. The company is overhauling 30 warehouses, standardizing on Express’s rack labels and multi-rack solutions.

The payoff?

• Greater efficiency: Workers spend less time dealing with labeling issues and more time moving product.
• Operational consistency: A standardized labeling system across sites creates smoother processes.
• Scalable partnership: IPEX gained a trusted partner ready to support their growth worldwide.

Looking Ahead

IPEX’s decision to partner with Express wasn’t just about better labels—it was about setting up their warehouses for long-term success. With Express’s commitment to durability, service, and U.S.-based expertise, IPEX has a reliable partner as they continue to expand and evolve.
