Case A) We are a pharmaceutical manufacturer,
and we have 500 different designs of labels for the products.
We are outsourcing the label to the printing shop.
Not only there are various designs of labels, but also labels must be produced in various languages, and barcode/QR codes are required.
In addition, we often delay the production time due to changing the text or design
and we cannot change the design right away when outsourcing the label.
Label’s MOQ also gives us a headache.
We need sample labels before launching the product, but we have no choice to order more labels.
besides, labels are required to be cut in different sizes since there are various sizes of bottles that we use in the production, and we need to pay more when we need to print barcode or QR code which is important for our products.
We considered using a pre-cut label with a small color label printer, but the cost per label with the pre-cut label was too expensive and there was a limitation on size. Our company aims to implement “industry 4.0(smart factory automation)” as we build a new building, and we hope to find a good solution that can cope with the issues as above.
