Due to the nature of the Agricultural Products Processing Center, it is often necessary to manufacture and commercialize members’ various products in small volumes. Each time, the production and release schedule were often delayed waiting on labels from print shops.
The print shops accepted only large orders, and farms had a hard time managing inventory and costs while disposing of extra labels and pouches. Plus, when dealing with variable data such as barcodes or serial numbers, it wasn’t easy to print them all at once, resulting in additional time and cost.
