What goes on a location label

• The location code in large text — aisle, bay and level — readable from the aisle.
• A Code 128 barcode (^BC) of the same code, so a handheld scanner confirms the slot on put-away and picking.
• Size: 4 × 2 in is common for rack and shelf edges; a pallet or bulk location can go bigger, see 100 × 100 mm.

Keep the text code and the barcode data identical so what a person reads and what a scanner reads agree. For long rack codes, lower the font size or widen the label.
