How Nutrimed Animal Health Gained On-Demand Label Flexibility with Epson ColorWorks
Client Overview
Nutrimed Animal Health, a manufacturer of animal health products, faced challenges in managing label production for its extensive product range. The company produces products in various forms, including powders, liquids, gels, and pastes, operating under ISO22000 manufacturing procedures and supporting export requirements where applicable.
Excess label inventory and wasted pre-printed stock
Bulk label purchasing required Nutrimed Animal Health to order large quantities at a time. With a wide product range, this often resulted in over-ordering and unused labels, increasing costs and creating unnecessary stock.
Long lead times when label designs or regulatory information changed
Outsourced printing required waiting for bulk orders to be completed and delivered. This limited the company’s ability to respond quickly to label updates or changing production requirements.
Inconsistent label quality across multiple suppliers
Working with external printing providers meant Nutrimed had less direct control over label production and consistency in quality.
Limited ability to introduce new SKUs quickly
Because labels had to be ordered in bulk quantities, printing smaller batches for new or updated products was difficult, reducing operational flexibility.
The Solution
To address these challenges, Nutrimed Animal Health implemented the Epson ColorWorks CW-C6500Ae on-demand colour label printer.
This solution enabled the company to print labels internally whenever required, whether a single label or a large batch. The printer’s high-quality output and flexible printing capabilities allowed Nutrimed to better align label production with its diverse packaging and operational needs.
By bringing label printing in-house, Nutrimed Animal Health was able to:
Print labels on demand, from a single label to thousands
Reduce over-ordering associated with bulk label purchasing
Improve the availability and convenience of labels during production
Produce high-quality labels across multiple materials and sizes
