Schades Group: Supplying labels to a global clothing retailer

At Schades Group we have experience supplying labels to some of Europe’s biggest retail companies.

The Nordic branch of Schades Group now supplies a leading global high-street retailer with its reduced-price labels, in this case study discover how Schades Group helped solve their labelling problem.

Historically Schades Group have supplied point-of-sale and paper roll products, but more recently, they have been developing and growing their market share in the labels industry too. Each year Schades Group produces over 200 million paper rolls and 50 million sq. metres of self-adhesive labels, so when a popular global high-street retailer asked for our advice on their reduced-price labelling, we were able to provide the solution.

The customer came to us needing specific dimensions and design for their reduced-price labels. Each label had to fit the cardboard clothing labels they would be affixed to by the teams in-store and in their warehouses.

Our customer knew that at Schades Group we have the industry’s most comprehensive range and could offer these at a cost which would suit the customer. The cost of the labels, and their specific dimensions were a key concern for the customer. Alongside the cost, both Schades and the customer were aware of the diverse designs needed for these labels, encompassing their entire discounted price points, and should be opaque enough to cover previous labels, if the price were to be reduced further. Our team had to provide the solution.

Schades Group provided the solution, using self-adhesive labels printed with the customer’s specific designs, across their reduced-price points. The dimensions of these labels were created to the exact specification needed by the customer, to comply with their cardboard retail labels. The labels were produced in sizing dimensions which are smaller than the average reduced-price label. The opacity of the label also met the customer’s standards, ensuring layering would not lead to mis-communicated price points at the point of sale.  

Overall, the customer was satisfied that their needs were met and entered a long-term partnership with Schades Group for their reduced-price labels. 

“The products requested by this customer were new to them and to us, but we managed to find the optimal solution to suit their needs, despite the challenging specifications. At Schades Group our experience in the labels market means we’re always happy to provide advice to the customer on the right solution for them as this means we can create the highest quality product to meet their needs. We’re pleased to have this customer onboard now for the long-term.” – Måns Palmqvist, Managing Director at Schades Group – Sweden.

At Schades Group we have a long-term ongoing programme of investment into our manufacturing capabilities, no dimension of label is too small or specification too difficult for our machining capabilities. 

Schades Group has the experience in producing paper rolls, price tags, packaging and shipping labels, including even behind the scenes and organisational labelling. From production to sales, our team have over 20 years of experience on average, which is why Europe’s leading retailers choose us to supply their labels.
