The short answer
Digital Label Services supplies label printing in Tuggerah from Green Point, around 27 minutes north. Tuggerah Business Park and the large-format retail node sit on the M1, so most work here is warehouse, pallet and barcode labelling, alongside food labels, colour label printers, applicators, label stock and genuine consumables.

Tuggerah is the Coast’s northern logistics and large-format retail node. Tuggerah Business Park sits on Reliance Drive at the corner of Wyong Road, with Gavenlock Road, Pioneer Avenue, Colony Close, Fleet Close, Morton Close and Mooramba Avenue carrying warehousing, distribution and trade services nearby. Our label printing on the Central Coast work here is dominated by what goes out the roller door.
The precinct is still growing. Central Coast Council’s Tuggerah to Wyong Corridor Strategy records around 69.7 hectares of undeveloped industrial land across the corridor’s employment precincts and projects roughly 2,100 additional jobs at Tuggerah between 2016 and 2036, and about 3,400 corridor-wide. More warehousing means more despatch labelling.
What has to be on a pallet label leaving Tuggerah?
The serial shipping container code identifies the logistic unit. An SSCC is 18 digits carried under application identifier (00), and it must not be reassigned within one year of the shipment date. That rule exists so a query about last month’s delivery still points at one specific pallet.
Placement is specified as well as content. The GS1 Logistic Label Guideline puts pallet barcodes between 400 mm and 800 mm from the pallet base, applied after wrapping so the film does not distort the symbol. Two identical labels on adjacent sides is standard practice for reading pallets on the move.
What about the labels that never leave the building?
Rack, bin, aisle and location labels are the other half of a warehouse label budget, and they wear differently. A location label lives on the same beam for years, takes knocks from pallets and has to be scannable from an order picker at distance, which usually means a larger X-dimension than a pack barcode.
Asset tags on forklifts, chargers, scanners and racking are a third population again. Where the label is exposed to sunlight through a roller door or to wash-down, the facestock and print method matter more than the design.
How do we supply Tuggerah warehouses and retailers?
Digital Label Services is a single source for the label, the printer that produces it and the consumables that keep it running, which suits sites where despatch cannot pause while three suppliers are chased.
Regular orders from Tuggerah sites:
- printed product labels for packed and repacked goods
- barcode label printing for pallets, cartons, racking and assets
- food label printing for retail and food-service packs
- chemical and GHS labels for stored and decanted chemicals
- label applicators for consistent placement at line speed
- colour label printers and commercial label presses
- genuine consumables and label stock matched to your equipment
Keeping despatch running
label printer repairs and service covers diagnosis, parts, servicing and technician visits, including printers bought elsewhere. Have the model number and a photo of the failed label ready when you call and the first conversation gets a lot shorter.
How long does the run from Green Point to Tuggerah take?
Tuggerah is around 26 km from our premises, roughly 27 minutes via the Central Coast Highway, the M1 north and Wyong Road. Deliveries are made to the site and technicians travel up for installation, training and repairs.
For a visit in the other direction, the directions to our Green Point premises page covers access and parking, and there are specific directions from Tuggerah to our premises. We are open 8:30am to 5:00pm, Monday to Friday.
Which despatch label format applies to which job?
Most despatch label arguments end when someone produces the actual specification, so here are the numbers in one place.
| Label type | Typical format | Key specification |
|---|---|---|
| Pallet SSCC label | A6 105 x 148 mm or A5 148 x 210 mm | GS1-128 X-dimension 0.495 to 0.94 mm, minimum bar height 31.75 mm |
| Pallet label placement | One per adjacent side, applied after wrapping | Barcodes between 400 mm and 800 mm from the pallet base |
| Trade outer or case | Printed or print-and-apply carton label | GTIN-14 identifies a non-retail outer, not the retail unit |
| Retail unit barcode | EAN-13 on the pack | Quiet zones at 100% of 3.63 mm left and 2.31 mm right |
| Parcel post label | 127 x 50 mm stock with a 10 mm chamfer at 45 degrees | Code 128 Type C, barcode 70 to 75 mm long and at least 12 mm high |
Customer and carrier specifications can be tighter than the baseline standard, so confirm the receiving party’s requirements before a production run.

Frequently asked questions
Can you print SSCC pallet labels for us?
Yes. We supply the label stock and the printers that produce SSCC labels on site, which is usually the practical approach because the number changes with every pallet. An SSCC is 18 digits under application identifier (00) and cannot be reassigned within a year of the shipment date, so it has to come from your system.
Our pallet labels get shredded by the wrapper. What can we change?
Apply the label after wrapping rather than before, keep the barcode between 400 mm and 800 mm from the pallet base, and use a facestock heavy enough to take handling. If labels are being applied by hand at speed, an applicator will give more consistent placement than a person at the end of a shift.
Do you supply retailers at Westfield Tuggerah as well as warehouses?
Yes. Retail sites usually need shelf, price and promotional labels, date labels for in-store food handling and barcode labels for stock that arrives without one. Those are short-run, high-frequency jobs, so most retailers run a compact colour label printer on site and order consumables and stock from us.
Is label printing in Tuggerah quoted differently to a Sydney job?
Pricing is based on the label itself, the material, the quantity and the finish rather than the postcode. Tuggerah is around 27 minutes from our Green Point premises via the M1, which keeps delivery and service visits straightforward. Send artwork, size and quantity and we will quote against the actual job.
Can you label products for both cold storage and ambient despatch?
Yes, but they are different materials. A label applied to an already cold surface needs a freezer-grade adhesive, while an ambient carton label can use a general permanent adhesive. Tell us the application temperature and the storage temperature separately, because they are frequently not the same.
