However, despite existing challenges, such as over half (52%) of respondents reporting mislabeling orders, products or documents at least occasionally to frequently, only a quarter (25%) name maintaining an organized office as a top priority this year.

When it came to productivity specifically, nearly half (47%) of respondents note that a label printer getting jammed or printing inaccurate information can set them back at least several hours. \n\"With many macro-economic factors beyond an organization's control, small business office managers, now more than ever, are looking for ways to streamline their processes to stay on track, on time and in budget,\" said Liesbet De Soomer, Global Marketing Director at DYMO. \"As a trusted name in making mountains of data easier to navigate for the last 65 years, DYMO understands the importance – and the office products needed – for small businesses to make adjustments within their walls that can positively impact their day-to-day operations while also helping them achieve their annual goals.\" \nHow the LabelWriter 5 series can help: The LabelWriter 5 series includes LabelWriter® 550, an easy-to-use, ink-free label printer, the L...
