Although most food processors view labels as a commodity item, for large operations that consume millions of thermal labels per month, it is a prime operating expense with sourcing decisions made at the corporate level.
With so much at stake, processors find themselves in a constant quest to find reliable label companies capable of delivering a quality product, consistently, and at the lowest possible price. For many, this means partnering with specialty converters that can pass on savings due to bulk purchasing power of thermal media direct from its source, in addition to unique consignment and inventory management options.
