Food

We understand that our customers in the Food Manufacturing industry are operating under increasing pressures and constraints especially over the last few years.

Large orders for supermarkets whilst giving a welcome boost to production can also come with their challenges including short notice for deliveries and decreased profit margins.

We work closely with our food manufacturing customers to ensure they are complying with the strict guidelines for labelling and barcoding produce to ensure they do not receive any unwanted penalties for barcodes which don’t scan.

PALLET LABELLING

We have a wide range of pallet label sizes in stock which are industry standard sizes when supplying into supermarkets.

By combining our standard label material with our range of ribbons we help ensure our customers are using the highest quality products for crisp and dark barcodes. Our box end and pallet labels can be found in all the leading supermarket warehouses.

NEAR EDGE RIBBONS

For customers printing best before dates and batch numbers directly onto packaging using print engines such as Markem Smartdate and ICE coders we offer unbeatable pricing on thermal ribbons and printheads for these printers.

These near edge wax resin ribbons enable our customers to print directly onto their packaging at high speed ensuring maximum production output.

We hold a large stock of near edge ribbon both inside and outside wound available for same day dispatch.

BARCODE VERIFICATION EQUIPMENT

When supplying into supermarkets it is critical that your barcodes are readable every time. Our range of verification equipment is specifically designed for use with thermal printers, it utilises CCD imaging technology to provide full ISO grade verification. A report on the quality of every barcode is displayed instantly on screen alerting the operator to any deterioration in quality.

A range of reporting tools come as standard including the ability to:

  • Save the scan file of each scanned code or just the failed codes
  • Spreadsheet of results and a summary of every print run
  • Easy to use tools providing full auditable traceability
  • Inline verification equipment can be lifted out of its cradle to be used as a full ISO/ANSI off-line verifier with more details diagnostics screen if desired.
