How To Reduce Label Cost
Money Saving Ideas
1. Order a larger volume of "generic" booklet labels with the intention of variable coding in batches. Here's an example. You have to run a study with 100,000 total labels with each run being 25,000. Instead of running 4 runs of 25,000 booklet labels with coding, you run 100,000 labels and have them coded as you need them. We store them for free in our warehouse. When you are ready, we print the codes on the cover and ship them out. You only have a "post-print" cost. Doing it his way can save 30% plus in the cost of the labels. And, the printing codes is much faster than making the booklet labels and printing the codes.
2. A derivation of the idea above is to order a larger volume of booklet labels and have them shipped to your warehouse for coding by your clinical team as needed. Both ways give you an opportunity to respond to the quantities you need in the fastest way possible. This saves you valuable time and money.
3. Use (Pi) Labels® instead of booklet labels for studies with fewer multiple languages. (Pi) Labels® are less expensive and produced faster than typical booklet labels.
4. Consult BCL in the design of your booklet labels. Some booklet label constructions are less expensive than others. We can advise you. We have extensive knowledge in helping you pick the right label construction.
