Did you know we can label almost anything around here? Electronic Imaging Materials has an ever-growing range of labels for everything from oily car parts to specialized test tube labels for laboratories. Our latest custom project? We’ve been working on a unique label for cell phone security bags.
You may have happened upon products like Yondr bags, Faraday bags, and Safe Sleeve pouches. Or maybe you’ve just seen them called “cell phone security bags”. What exactly are these and why do we need to label them? Keep reading as we dig into whys of this niche labeling need!
What’s The Deal with Cell Phone Security Bags at School?
The prevalence of cell phone use has led to many in-school issues. Devices open opportunities for distraction, cheating on exams, and even cyber bullying schoolmates. A hot topic for schools especially, but it impacts other environments as well. Museums, concerts, and private businesses can suffer unwanted disruptions or worse, security issues, from unregulated cell phones. It’s becoming increasingly necessary to limit cell phones in shared spaces.
How Do Cell Phone Security Bags Work in Schools?
These days, when a middle school student arrives at school they’ll be greeted by a homeroom teacher with a stack of Faraday bags. After placing their phone inside, the phone bag is locked with a stationary magnetic device (or other locking mechanism). The student can keep their phone in their possession—but not access it during school hours. The cell phone security bag’s tech blocks the signal of RFID, GPS, Cellular Data, Bluetooth, and NFC. When cell phones are permitted again, the student can bring their Faraday bag to a designated unlocking station.
Specialty Asset Labels For Cell Phone Lock Bags
As you can imagine, logistics matter a great deal for how these bags are stored and tracked by the schools! Schools need to prevent loss and help their students keep track of their belongings. That’s where we come in! Applying asset tracking strategy with durable barcode labels helps schools keep track of students belongings.
But what about the hard to label materials that faraday bags are comprised of? These high-tech signal blocking bags are often made from conductive materials and woven with metallic fibers. Some industry experts liken the materials security bags are made of to ballistic nylon, a tactical material we have helped customers label with high-strength adhesive EnduraLabels.
Some faraday bags are waterproofed to make them resistant to elements that could harm the device inside. But this technology is not limited to bags! Faraday and protective cell phone containers come in different shapes. Some are designed as boxes slender enough to only accommodate a cell phone. They can even be made from silicone! Silicone is one of the harder surfaces to “stick” things to! But we happen to have a special label just for that.
All Your Niche Labeling Needs, Sorted
In a seemingly endless sea of choices, we have labels that will stick to almost anything! Our ability to customize labels doesn’t begin and end with the design or barcode you see. It starts with understanding what your label needs to be functional, then walking you through climate, condition, surface, and size requirements (in this case, they’re probably going to be small!).
