Can Streamlining Your Secondary Labelling Supply Chain Reduce Costs?
Learn how optimising your secondary labelling supply chain can lead to significant savings on your label expenses.
New products, new machinery and even change in staff are all the usual suspects for changes in the supply chain. At times this can be unavoidable and over time this can have detrimental impact to the labelling spend.
Watermill Press was invited to analyse the labelling requirements of each site of a large national food and drink manufacturer and explore the benefits of rationalising the supply chain of labels.

Labels that Adhere Strongly & Wash Off Easily
Streamline your process and cut costs with our labels designed to wash off effortlessly during a standard wash cycle
Ensuring labels stick to various surfaces and withstand your supply chain’s conditions is challenging. But if you supply reusable boxes and containers for fruit, vegetables, prepared meals, and eggs, those labels also need to wash off easily.
Our client faced this conundrum: their supplier had to use higher temperatures and increase the number of washes to remove the labels from their reusable tray. Watermill Press excels in such situations. Our team analysed the labels’ life cycle and collaborated with all parties to ensure our solution worked seamlessly.
