Vegetable producer: Keeping supermarket shelves stocked
Every day, this UK vegetable producer packs courgettes, cucumbers, peppers, salad leaves, and tomatoes destined for supermarkets across the country.
Biscuit manufacturer: Making every use-by date count
This manufacturer supplies premium shortbread biscuits to three of the UK’s four largest supermarkets. Every packet carries the supermarket’s own branding, so every detail matters—including a clearly printed use-by date.
When those dates began rubbing off the packaging, it quickly became more than a printing problem. Products risked being rejected by retailers, complaints could reach consumers, and confidence in the packaging process began to suffer.
The business contacted Codeboxx to find a better solution. Rather than recommending a single replacement, Codeboxx supplied several thermal transfer ribbons for testing. Each was evaluated on the customer’s own packaging until the team found the ribbon that delivered the strongest adhesion and the most reliable performance.
The result was exactly what the manufacturer needed. Use-by dates remained clear and durable throughout the supply chain, giving both the customer and the supermarkets greater confidence in every pack leaving the factory. The new ribbon also reduced annual consumables costs by 63%, saving more than £8,300 each year. Nearly a year later, the customer continues to use the same solution, confident that every pack reaches supermarket shelves with information that remains clear, legible, and reliable.
