Educational Testing Service (ETS) Streamlining Their Shipping Operation

Challenge

• ETS was printing shipping labels on a direct thermal Zebra printer.
• They offered multiple shipping methods (Ground, 2nd Day, and Overnight).
• To differentiate shipments, they ran each printed label through a second Zebra printer with colored ribbons.
• This two-step process was time-consuming and labor-intensive.

Solution

• ETS called PaladinID to find a more effective solution.
• After reviewing their workflow, we recommended pre-printing labels in specific colors associated with each shipping method.
• Now, ETS simply selects the correct pre-printed label and prints the shipping information directly on it.

Results

• Preparation time for shipping was cut by 50%.
• Virtually eliminated shipping errors by color-coding labels at the start.
• Simplified workflow saved labor costs and boosted efficiency.
• ETS was thrilled with the improved speed, accuracy, and ease of use.
