The Kennedy Group is the leading provider of permanent and temporary identification systems for reusable containers, mobile/shipping racks, shelving and pallets. With a flagship product, the Placard and Nameplate identification products provide an efficient, versatile and cost-saving means of labeling and tracking for thousands of customers.  When industries, including automotive and chemical, embraced reusable packaging, we were there to deliver material-handling and reusable packaging solutions.

How can The Kennedy Group help with my material handling needs?
We pioneered the development of the Kennedy Original Placard System to assist with temporary labeling identification for knock-down shipping bins and returnable containers. The Placard acts as a label holder providing temporary identification of labels and barcodes that can easily be removed and applied as contents of a container, rack or shelf change.  The Placard Identification System is promoted and available by major container manufacturers, making it easy for you to order the Placard on your new containers as a label holding and identification solution. These are a few of the top 250 distributors that can apply the Placard directly onto your containers:

• Buckhorn  
• Monoflo
• Orbis
• Schaeffer
• Technology Container
• and others

Like the Kennedy Original Placard System, our broad array of Nameplate products for permanent identification have been qualified and approved for availability and application at the distributors facilities listed above.  Kennedy Nameplates can affix to a variety of surfaces and are designed to withstand demanding environments both indoor and outdoor.  Utilized in the supply chain as a permanent solution, Nameplates provide high visibility.

For a complete turnkey system, which includes data collection through our software and hardware infrastructure, The Kennedy Group's material handling products combined with RFID, provides both a permanent and temporary solution to your program.
