The Barcode Factory label experts supply labels that meet all specifications for optimal transport packaging of fresh products.

Label compliance is a business-critical item within the IFCO System, and the RPC industry at large. Barcode Factory supplies the correct labels (i.e. approved substrates/adhesive combinations) that are required for use on IFCO Reusable Plastic Containers (RPCs).

Label & Adhesive Specifications

Only this exact combination of adhesive and substrates is approved for use. Using labels that are found to be out of specification by IFCO are sent cease and desist letters. Continued use of non-compliant labels that are also found to damage IFCO Systems assets and/or leave potentially hazardous residue and/or substrate fragments are held liable. Choosing a certified label for RPC's is critical, and Barcode Factory provides an economical and compliant choice of labels.

IFCO Approved Label Placement Guidelines (see below)
  • Should only be applied to the short panel end walls
  • Should not be applied on the long side panels, bottom or inside the RPCs
  • Do not wrap label around handle
  • Only one label should be applied to each RPC and cannot be any larger than 4" wide x 2" tall (inches)
  • If using larger RPC, label should be placed on dimpled areas not on corner locks
  • Do not adhere labels under tines/cardholder prongs, this is for card stock only that is not glued to the RPC
  • For 6408, 6411 and 6413 only a film label may be used, not paper
  • Do not apply oversized pallet labels directly to RPCs but instead to the outer shrink wrap
