1. It gives you room to be creative
The snack industry is competitive. Part of being successful is having a
strong brand identity that stands out on the shelf. TTO allows you to say
goodbye to generic packaging. The technology can print text, data, graphics, QR
codes and logos over a large area – switching between elements in subsequent
prints if you wish.
2. Crystal clear quality
Print quality can be inconsistent with legacy technologies, such as hot
stamping. With TTO you get 300dpi print resolution on every print.
3. Change codes in a flash
You will know better than most that traceability coding is essential in the
snack industry. Because TTO technology is digital, you can store pre-prepared
codes in the memory. Operators can change codes and print them instantly,
unlocking huge time savings compared with the minimum five-minute turnaround
typical of hot-stamp printers.
4. No more coding errors
With hot-stamp printers and roller coders, human error is inevitable when it
comes to changing codes. That leads to reworks, which increases your production
costs and decreases your output. TTO allows you to double-check codes in a
WYSIWYG print preview before you hit go.
5. Fewer line stoppages
In an industry where turning a profit means shifting high volumes with low
margins, operational efficiency is business-critical. The rolls of ribbon used
in TTO printers are usually at least twice the length of those used by
hot-stamp printers. Result? The number of line stoppages required to change
consumables is reduced by at least 50% if a TTO printer is used. TTO ribbons
are easy to change too.
6. TTO ribbon is cheaper than the ribbon used in hot-stamp printers
More good news for your bottom line!
In conclusion…
With higher print quality, a reduction in product rejection, increased
operational efficiency and potential capital cost savings, TTO ticks plenty of
boxes. The ideal coding technology for the burgeoning snacks market should
offer quick and automatic code changeovers, cost-effective consumables and the
flexibility to print a wide range of variable data at high speeds. TTO gives
you all that and more.
