Supabarn Overview

In the gourmet food retail business, presentation goes hand in hand with compliance. Andy Vaccaro, Operations Manager at Supabarn faced significant challenges with their traditional labelling system, especially with chef-prepared meals that required extensive information. Traditional labels struggled to contain essential details such as nutritional information, ingredients, cooking instructions, and branding elements.

The Challenge

Supabarn's Operations Manager, Andy Vaccaro, identified several key issues with their existing labelling system:

  • Information Overload: Traditional labels couldn't accommodate all required information according to food regulations and consumer expectations, leading to incomplete or unclear product information.
  • Presentation Concerns: The existing labels did not enhance the visual appeal of products, which negatively impacted customer perception and overall presentation.
  • Branding Restrictions: The conventional labelling system was restrictive, limiting the ability to integrate impactful branding elements such as logos and other visual features.

To address these challenges, Andy recognised the need for a banding machine. This solution would streamline the labelling process, reduce the need for multiple labels, and enable more creative and effective packaging design. The banding machine would not only simplify operations but also enhance product presentation and branding, ultimately appealing more to customers and meeting regulatory requirements more efficiently.
