Thanks for scanning into our holiday case study!

We’re happy to show off the goods from our partners over at Oaktown Spice Shop

+ take you through some of our variable data solutions.

This holiday label started out as a blank or fully-variable data label. We engineer this type of label for customers that don’t need any pre-printed information. These labels are the most cost efficient way to utilize variable data printing. We have hundreds of die sizes in house and new custom dies are always only a few days away. We can cut custom sizes on Thermal Transfer, Direct Thermal or Inkjet Materials. This specific label was cut using a Matte Inkjet Imprintable BOPP

This custom label was designed to be flexible. A customer could upload the static design into Bartender to adjust variable data. For this label, in the video we open a completely custom label in Adobe Acrobat and print straight from there.

This custom label design was then printed on the Epson C6000, CMYK or full color desktop label printer. This printer prints full color, high resolution labels. This medium output printer can work as a replacement for a preprinted + TT Label solution. We stock all Epson Colorworks consumables here at CGA for quick turnaround.

The product labels were then applied using the Autolabe 550S, Semi-Automatic round product label applicator. This semi-automatic applicator allows users to increase their throughput and reduce touchpoints. The product rollers are adjustable; from small vials for the biotech industry, up to large jars for food manufacturing.

The lid labels were printed using the CAB Squix Thermal Transfer Printer. This 600 DPI, middle-aligned printer is perfect for printing incredibly precise variable data. This model is a perfect fit for anyone who needs to print detailed information and small scannable objects onto any size label.

The lid labels were then applied using the Autolabe 560S, Semi-Automatic Tamp down applicator. This unit utilizes a custom sized, vacuum tamp head to put labels onto lids, boxes or any flat/near flat object. The small form factor and ease of use are major selling point for this cost effective way to increase throughput and reduce touchpoint costs.

None of this project would have been possible without the help from our good friends over at Oaktown Spice Shop

They really do incredible work over there. When you run out of spices and need a refill, or want to check out some of their other spices, head over their website and treat yourself.
