Half-height box labels

BOX LABEL for HALF-HEIGHT BOX (flat)
Labels for half-height boxes are the same ones used for manuscript folders. The end processor can produce these labels using the ACCESS database. If that isn't possible, anyone can use one of the manuscript label document stored in the shared directory as a template. The same positioning rules as for regular box labels. Attach the label to the center of the short end of the box. Barcode can be placed as below, or can be placed next to the label, if not enough space. Add a piece of 3-M tape over the label and the barcode, if the example below is followed. But if the barcode is next to the label, there is no need to cover it with tape, in fact it is better not to. Keep the bottom edge of the tape at least 1/8" above the box edge so it isn't prone to start peeling off due to friction from handling. Allow the top edge of the tape to come up over the top of the box. Rub down the tape well with the folding tool.

Do not cut in half a regular card stock label to use instead, because it is too thick and there is no adhesive on the back to keep it on if the tape should somehow fail. It also takes up more space on the box lid. We don't put plastic label holders on the tops of boxes either because the label and barcode will be obscured when the box is shelved.
