How Nutrimed Animal Health Gained On-Demand Label Flexibility with Epson ColorWorks

Customer Overview

Company: Nutrimed Animal Health

Industry: Animal Health Manufacturing

Contact: Douw Kruger, Labels & Design

Years in Operation: Not specified (Manufacturer of animal health products using ISO22000 manufacturing procedures)

Nutrimed Animal Health manufactures animal health products in various forms including powders, liquids, gels, and pastes, operating under ISO22000 manufacturing procedures. The company is also registered for exports where requirements can be met.

The Challenge: Bulk Labeling and Order Limitations

Nutrimed Animal Health faced challenges with bulk label purchasing requirements. Buying in large quantities was impractical for their wide range of products, as they needed flexibility to print smaller amounts as required. This resulted in overordering, higher costs, and operational inefficiencies.

Impact on Day-to-Day Operations

The inability to print small label batches led to unnecessary expenses and storage challenges. Managing label stock became difficult, and day-to-day operations were affected by delays and limited control over label availability.

The Solution: Epson ColorWorks CW-C6500

After exploring alternatives, Nutrimed Animal Health selected the Epson ColorWorks CW-C6500 printer. The decision was influenced by its high-quality print output and the ability to print on demand—whether one label or a thousand.

Why ColorWorks?

The CW-C6500 offered the right balance of size, functionality, and print quality. As Douw explains, ‘The convenience of printing one label or a thousand labels is at your fingertips, and there’s no waiting for your order to come up. It works great for what we need.’

Implementation and Results

Before implementing Epson’s ColorWorks solution, Nutrimed outsourced label printing in bulk. Now, with the CW-C6500, they have complete control and flexibility to produce labels in-house, matching their varied packaging and production needs.

Although in-house printing is slightly more expensive than bulk outsourcing, the benefits far outweigh the costs. Nutrimed now enjoys total flexibility, immediate label availability, and improved operational convenience.

Key Benefits

• On-demand label printing for any quantity
• Elimination of overordering and label wastage
• Improved convenience and reduced lead times
• High-quality printing on multiple label materials and sizes

Recommendation

Nutrimed Animal Health recommends the Epson ColorWorks CW-C6500 for companies facing similar challenges. It enables businesses to take full control of their labeling processes and enjoy the flexibility of printing exactly what they need, when they need it.
