Bunbury Farmers Market improves efficiency & product presentation with Wedderburn
Bunbury Famers Market Overview
The Bunbury Farmers Market has been a thriving business since it began as a small, fresh produce outlet 17 years ago. It now employs 350 people and its product range has expanded to include meat, grocery, bakery, dairy, deli and most recently, ready meals.
The Challenge
When Bunbury Farmers Market first released their range of ready meals, they printed the labels in-house. As the popularity of the range grew, printing sufficient labels to meet demand became a daily challenge, requiring one full-time person and an entire 8 hour shift. But it didn’t stop there. Each product in their ready meals range required several labels to be manually applied to each meal. If anything changed, e.g. a change to the ingredient list, all pre-printed labels had to be thrown out and more labels printed.As sales in ready meals increased, the need for a more efficient method of labelling each product was required.
