We Don’t Just Have a Manual For The Two-Sided Labeling System

That’s right! We have manuals for all our systems, including The Tag Labeling System and The High-Speed Labeling System. It’s important to us that growers have the tools necessary to succeed with our products. After all, the point of the Label Gator is to help growers succeed and exceed their expectations. A well-written manual covering all pertinent information is a key part of that process. Again, this means the whole team needs to be on the same metaphorical page. They need a simple guide to refer back to when errors occur.

The Latest Update

In the latest release for The Two-Sided Labeling System (4.0), it still covers all the basics, however, we’ve also added some tips and tricks for finding success. We also updated some of the system aesthetics and we’ve updated images to ensure clarity. After all, nothing is worse than looking at instructions that picture items you don’t have! We’re committed to eliminating confusion to help growers build confidence in using the systems.

    The Freedom of Automation

    That’s right, instead of wasting time, money, and labor on hand application, automation offers growers freedom. Plus, it helps allocate labor to more impactful areas in the business, creating better flow. It doesn’t even end there. Here are some other benefits of automating your labeling process!

    Label Design Flexibility

    Made a spelling mistake in your label? Or, are you looking to create something promotional for the holiday season? Instead of removing all labels by hand and re-applying, simply run them through the system. In a matter of minutes, all containers will be 0ver-labeled with your new design. Or, experiment with secondary labels that attract attention with innovative labeling techniques. Any mistake, creative ambition, or seasonal change are now an exciting opportunity to connect with customers. 

    What would you design if you saved time and money on automation? How would you also better serve your customers? Or, how would you go the extra mile to inspire them? As a result, customers will be more engaged with your brand and loyal as a shopper. Inspiration is still a possibility with hand labeling, however, it easily becomes a reality with automation. 

    Ease of Change-Overs

    So, it’s time to switch to a new label. Well, that’s easier than it sounds. The manual covers this process in detail, however, it’s important to note that the system makes it as easy as a quick cut and paste. Oh, and also a selection on the monitor. So, don’t let the switching of labels concern you. It’s a straightforward process that takes only a minute or two to complete. In fact, it’s so easy that working the Label Gator frequently becomes our customers’ favorite day-to-day task. Seriously!

    Professionalism and Accuracy

    Another major draw to our labeling automation systems is the professional quality it provides. Whether it’s for your own in-store use, or for big box stores, placement is accurate and consistent every time. Provide all your customers with containers that stand up to your competition. It’s a simple thing, but it communicates a level of care and detail that shoppers appreciate.

    Again, Consider Changes

    This also makes it easy to over-label with accuracy, or apply secondary labels elsewhere on the container. Again, for promotions, human error, or seasonal changes, you won’t have to fuss with an absurd number of flats. In a matter of minutes the update is completed, and the smooth change-over makes it easy to get back to working on new items.
