The Challenge

Before implementing DuraLabel Barcode Labels, Papé struggled with inadequate labeling solutions for its rental fleet. The team’s previous machines frequently broke down, and the labels could not withstand the outdoor conditions—quickly fading, peeling, or falling off. 

These shortcomings created inefficiencies in tracking and managing inventory across multiple rental sites. With equipment spread throughout Western Washington, the lack of durable, standardized labeling made it difficult for staff to maintain consistency and reliability in fleet identification. The company searched for a dependable solution for more than six months, evaluating several options—including online label makers and Brother products—but none provided the quality or support required. 

The Solution

Papé turned to DuraLabel Barcode Labels to standardize barcoding across its rental fleet. With DuraLabel’s durable materials and reliable print systems, the company gained a solution that withstands outdoor conditions while supporting multiple users across five sites. The new system enabled teams to: 

• 

  Print long-lasting, weather-resistant barcode labels for heavy equipment in outdoor environments. 

• Standardize asset identification across five rental locations. 

• Simplify inventory tracking and fleet management with easy-to-scan barcodes. 
  

• Eliminate reliance on unreliable machines that previously wasted time and resources. 
  
  
• Adopt quickly with no unplanned adjustments, allowing multiple team members to begin using the system right away.
