When adhesive labels don’t adhere to the produce you are packing, they can end up everywhere – in your delicate machinery, in employees’ hair and clothing, on the bottom of your shoes. And you paid for each and every one of those labels that now decorate your packing house. Too bad, because not only are they useless to you now, but you have to hire someone to clean them up. Prevent Fines And Dissatisfaction From Buyers How do you like this scenario: All of your hard work has paid off in the shipment of some beautiful produce. Trucks take it away for consumers to enjoy. Then you get a phone call from the retailer. It turns out that only 71% of the fruit has labels on it. You get a chargeback of $3,000. There was nothing wrong with your produce, just the label. Eliminate Inventory Costs What do you do with those spools of labels left over from this year’s packing season? Do you keep them in storage over the off season, only to find that the adhesive has deteriorated and they won’t adhere? Why do you always have leftover spools in the first place? Because the only thing worse than having to throw away spools of labels at the end of the season is finding yourself short. Your Produce Can Be Tracked To Individual Areas Of The Field/Orchard Wouldn’t you like to know which growers are producing consistently good produce? Wouldn’t you like to be able to identify portions of your land that are producing substandard fruit? The Natural Light Labeling System allows growers and packers to isolate diseased or contaminated produce more effectively and more cost efficiently. Cost Savings There is no per piece cost. Maintenance and cleaning costs are reduced dramatically. Won’t it feel good to walk out on the packing house floor, look around, and see clean machinery? None of that microbe harboring goo stuck to every flat surface. Were you happy when you had to spend extra money on a machine that recalculates tare on your cups? The amount of cost savings will vary by location. Less Down Time Because it has few moving parts, the Natural Light Labeling System is more reliable than labeling machines. Which means that you’ll spend more time marking produce and less time working on equipment, changing reels, clearing jams, etc. Special Labeling There is virtually no lead time required for one time promotional logos. No investment in expensive inventory. Labels can be customized for individual retailers.
