Tamper-Evident Labeling?  We Got Your Solution

 

August 2018

 

Credit card skimmers at the gas pump cost consumers and businesses millions of dollars a year in fraudulent card transactions.  It can even lead to identity theft for your customers!  Generic tamper evident labels may not be an adequate deterrent given they are available on line for anyone to purchase and use, including the bad guys!  By customizing your label design with barcodes, serial numbers, logos, and other unique identifying marks, you can make label duplication more difficult.

 

Brother's PT-P750wvp labeling tool provides a cost effective, customizable solution for creating unique tamper-evident labels.   Produce labels on demand, and only when needed, and eliminate the need to have rolls of costly tamper evident labels sitting “unsecured” in your stores.  The PT-P750wvp is an ideal solution for independent operators who want to quickly create labels specifically designed for their store and store brand.  In no time, operators can implement their own unique tamper evident labels in the fight against credit card skimmers.

Providing Fresh Prepared Food Gets Innovative

 

February 2018

 

Convenience stores and Grocers continue to innovate on providing fresh prepared foods for their loyal customers. That's no small task in the midst of rising minimum wages, and new regulations on nutritional labeling and meat grind logging and traceability. Combine these variables with others like figuring out how to capture online orders for pick-up, what human resources are needed, and what technology can make it all work, can be daunting.

 

Store operators must figure out how to do more with the same amount of people, or fewer. As the old saying goes, 'How can you work smarter, not harder?' Regarding labeling and sorting tasks, most of these activities have traditionally been completed in the back office or warehouse. One way that is increasingly gaining ground is using mobile technology to move many store tasks to the front, on the store floor, in the aisle, and at the food counter. This enables workers to be closer to customers, allowing them to perform store tasks when not helping a customer, while maintaining visibility to customers when needed. This is very helpful on shelving resets and pricing updates, as you no longer have to depend on a printing service to ship the updated shelf labels or fresh food labels. You can easily print them on demand as needed, minimizing cost and waste.

 

Whether it's food labeling to meet the new Common Sense Nutritional Labeling regulations, or product/shelf labeling to track inventory more accurately, the Brother TD-2000 and Rugged Jet series printers are some of the best tools for grocers or C-stores to get the job done. In either a mobile or fixed configuration, it's easy to use, secure, and extremely flexible, with models which connect to iOS®, Android™ and Windows operating systems.
