Task To identify more than 200 different products, a pet food manufacturer would use preprinted cartons and packages as well as stickers for goods packed in bags. Applying batch numbers and minimum shelf-life data or making quick changes or applying additional information was very difficult using a hand-held labeler. What made matters even more complicated was the increasing number of languages that were required for selling products in different European countries. In addition, for holidays like Easter or Christmas, customized labels were printed and applied to packages. »Print quality, contrast and even toner-lubrication no longer corresponded to our brand«, the founder and company manager said.
The right label printer TSC’s reliable TTP-346MT was selected after an intensive tender process for its high-quality processing and user-friendly touch display. The industrial thermal transfer printer is primarily used for new product marking. The adhesive labels applied to the back of packages contain product information, ingredients, weight, batch number, minimum shelf life data, EAN and QR codes. The two-dimensional QR code can be scanned via smartphones at the POS to provide further product information and to download customer testimonial videos.
