Print One or Print a Thousand: How Nutrimed Animal Health Gained On-Demand Label Flexibility
Nutrimed Animal Health uses the Epson ColorWorks CW-C6500 to print labels on demand — from a single label to a full batch — giving the business flexibility, immediate availability, and better control over label production.
On-demand label flexibility for a varied product range
Nutrimed Animal Health manufactures a broad range of animal health products — powders, liquids, gels, and pastes — operating under ISO 22000 manufacturing procedures and registered for export where requirements can be met.
About Nutrimed Animal Health
Nutrimed Animal Health manufactures a broad range of animal health products — powders, liquids, gels, and pastes — operating under ISO 22000 manufacturing procedures and registered for export where requirements can be met.
With such a diverse product range, label management is complex: different packaging formats, different regulatory requirements, and volumes that vary widely from batch to batch.
Bulk ordering did not suit a flexible production environment
External label printing required ordering in bulk — which made sense in theory, but not in practice for Nutrimed’s wide and varied product range. Overordering was expensive, and underordering created delays.
Label stock became difficult to manage
Storing label stock was a logistical headache, and managing multiple versions across different packaging formats added unnecessary complexity to daily operations.
Print smaller quantities when needed
“Buying in bulk was an issue. To be able to print a small amount at a time is what we need — we did not
have to over-order on labels.”
— Douw Kruger, Labels & Design
Epson ColorWorks CW-C6500: the right size, the right quality
Nutrimed selected the Epson ColorWorks CW-C6500 after evaluating the available options. It struck the right balance of size, functionality, and output quality for their environment.
The printer is capable enough for professional-grade labels, compact enough for in-house use, and flexible enough to handle Nutrimed’s range of packaging types.
Print one label or one thousand labels
“The convenience of printing one label or one thousand labels is at your fingertips, and there’s no waiting
for your order to come up. It works great for what we need.”
— Douw Kruger, Labels & Design
Total flexibility, immediate availability, zero overstock
While in-house label printing costs slightly more per label than bulk outsourcing, Douw is clear that the benefits far outweigh that difference.
The convenience, flexibility, and control that come with on-demand printing fit Nutrimed’s operation in a way that bulk ordering never did.
What changed after switching to Epson ColorWorks
Convenience across different packaging formats
“We are using a bunch of different packaging, so to be able to design and print our own labels is the
convenience we need. The CW-C6500 works great for what we need.”
— Douw Kruger, Labels & Design, Nutrimed Animal Health
ISO 22000 certified animal health manufacturer
