Joe, when we place a box barcode on a box, to us, it simply is an identifier - just as a shelf, room, etc. would be.  If the contents of the box requires removal through retrieval, destruction or release, we will reuse the box with the attached barcode label in place to avoid the perm out fee whenever possible.  We will not always be able to accomplish this, but through modifying the box and record relationship within our electronic system, it can be a very effective way to manage the perm out fee expense. It does require knowledgeable staff and ones that will ensure that each step is managed appropriately.

Will be glad to discuss offline if you would like.

Subject: Offsite storage box barcodes

Hello... does anyone have an opinion on reusing offsite storage box barcodes? I'm trying to find out if it makes sense to keep the box barcodes so as not to have the expense of permanent removal charges incurred.  
 
Regards,
