How RAD Custom Biological Solutions Improved Label Control and Efficiency with Epson ColorWorks

Customer Overview

Company: RAD Custom Biological Solutions

Industry: Biological Fertilisers, Pesticides, and Fungicides

Contact: Rudi, Operations Director

Years in Operation: Approximately 12 years

RAD Custom Biological Solutions manufactures biological fertilisers, pesticides, and fungicides. Having operated for over a decade, the company continually focuses on sustainable agricultural products that support soil health and crop protection.

The Challenge: High Minimum Orders and Label Wastage

Before adopting Epson’s Label Print on Demand solution, RAD Custom Biological Solutions faced challenges due to the high minimum order quantities required for outsourced printing. With 58 label variations to manage, frequent label changes led to large quantities of wasted labels.

Impact on Day-to-Day Operations

The business often wasted money on unused labels and experienced delays when label stock ran low. These delays caused interruptions in production as they had to wait for new print batches, impacting efficiency and increasing operational costs.

The Solution: Epson ColorWorks CW-C6500

RAD Custom Biological Solutions selected the Epson ColorWorks CW-C6500 due to its ability to handle a variety of label sizes and materials. The addition of a label rewinder provided the benefit of producing neatly rolled labels ready for use.

Why ColorWorks?

Epson’s ColorWorks solution stood out for its quality, versatility, and reliability. It enabled the company to print professional-grade labels in-house, removing dependence on third-party printing services and reducing lead times.

Implementation and Results

Previously, label printing was outsourced to external suppliers. With the Epson ColorWorks CW-C6500, all label printing is now managed in-house, giving RAD Custom Biological Solutions full control over label inventory and production. This has eliminated wastage and ensured continuous operation as long as ink cartridges and labels are in stock.

Key Benefits

• Full in-house control over label printing
• Elimination of label wastage and reduced costs
• Increased efficiency and production continuity
• High-quality printing across multiple label materials and sizes

Recommendation

Rudi, Operations Director at RAD Custom Biological Solutions, highly recommends the Epson ColorWorks range. He emphasizes its excellent print quality, versatility, and reliability for businesses looking to take full control of their label production.
