Performance Location Labels Designed for Distribution Centres

At Fortega, we specialise in bespoke design and the timely manufacture of durable labels that meet the needs of the UK supply chain.

2D Barcode Shelf Labels

Shelf Edge Location Labels from Fortega.

We produce innovative and durable location labels in almost any size needed. Our shelf label and tag range are the perfect example of how we can maximise performance within smaller dimensions.

Layout combinations include linear or 2D barcodes, readable content, colour coding, and variable images for small parts storage.

As with all our labels, each produced is subject to global barcode performance testing to ensure they conform and meet the requirements of multi-national operations.

Produced, managed and delivered in the UK.


Fortega shelf labels are used for:
  • Shelf edge labelling on industrial and retail shelving,
  • SKU / bin location numbering,
  • Barcode scanning for warehouse management systems (WMS),
  • Pick modules and fulfillment centres,
  • Fast-moving and ecommerce environments.

Improving facilities

Our labels improve your storage location identification with accuracy, efficiency and scanning performance.

Clear and precise labelling makes it easier to locate positions and inventory, helping manage stock and maintain order throughout the warehouse.

If you are operating a small storage facility or large-scale distribution hub, our wide range of warehouse labelling services can be tailored to meet your needs. From design and manufacture to clinical installations across the UK, we can support your shelf labelling project.

The Importance of Performance Labels

Key Benefits of Our Shelf Labels

Enhanced Efficiency: Producing barcodes which achieve the highest verification rates, means your labels can be scanned first time. This is a standard we work to, not something we hope to achieve.


Inventory Accuracy: Our installation services guaranty that every rack location label is applied to the correct position, whether it’s a small or massive installation.

This brings our customers reassurance that products placed are located accurately for faster retrieval later.


Enhanced Long-Lasting Durability: Built to withstand industrial conditions, our polyester barcode labels resist wear, tear, and fading. This makes it possible to remove the labels in one piece when the time comes, as they will last and perform as long as your racking does.

Labelling Project Stages.

Initial Consultations – In depth discussions to understand what you need, when you need it, how we can provide benefit and how we can then improve on your expectations.


Design and Production – Taking your concept ideas, applying our product knowledge and unlocking production capabilities, we expand the possibilities to optimise your solution.


Scheduling – New buildings or existing, we break the work down into weekly or daily progress plans to help us progress while minimising the impact on your operation or other contractors on site.


Mobilisation and Management – As the installation begins and your solutions take shape, we ensure progress is on track and daily sign-off is achieved so deadlines are met.


Completion and Aftercare – A finished installation is not where our projects stop.  We look to re-visit site two months after completion, to meet you or the users, inspect the work and product performance.  Its peace of mind for you and allows us to work on future improvements.


Northampton Fulfilment Centre

A project that took 3 years to become an icon on the landscape utilises Fortega’s rack and shelf labels, installation service, and project management expertise to move from fit out to go-live in ten weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long will it take to get my labels?

We suggest customers work to a 3-4 week window. We work quickly, but you need time to consider the designs and layouts, as well as location data, but once confirmed and signed off, we move fast to have the labels available.

Can you match the labels we currently use?

Yes. We design unique labels per customer. They may be first time original designs, adaptions from previous designs, or exact copies of those our customers have on their beams.

Exact colour match is hard to achieve, but we will get very close.

I have a damaged beam and need replacement labels. Can I order just those I need?

Fortega keep an archive of previous orders and designs, which means anything we have produced in the past, can be recalled and produced. For previous orders, we can skip the proofing stages to speed the process and have you active fast. For new customers, we will act just as fast, while adding in the steps to ensure the product you receive is to our rigorous standards.

How many shelf labels can you apply per day?

We can tell more precisely if we know the shelf layout and position density.

Labels on condensed shelving are installed quicker that large span, high-capacity positions, simply because of the distance between each and the time it takes to move to the next position.

We can also work with your time constraints. If we need to increase our resource to speed the process, we can, and will adjust our labels-per-day rate accordingly.
