Labeling Services
Labeling is a key part of running a smooth and accurate fulfillment operation.
If you’re looking for a fulfillment partner that treats your inventory with precision and ensures every product is barcoded, scanned, and shipped with 99.9% accuracy — you’re in the right place.
What Is Labeling?
Labeling is the process of applying a physical sticker or tag to your product — and that label usually includes a barcode, which acts as your product’s unique identifier in our system.
It’s what links your physical goods to our warehouse software and ensures that the right item reaches the right customer — every time.

Great First Experience
Going into our first peak season, we were honestly stressed and dreading the chaos. We were constantly worrying about delays, inventory issues, and unhappy customers. Partnering with NextSmartShip turned out to be the right decision. Everything ran smoothly, from arranging our stock to get into their warehouses to order fulfillment. Biggest win of the year for our growing business.
