Baynes Bakery Reduces Label Costs by Over 70% with Toshiba Printing Solutions from Progressive ID
Baynes Bakery partnered with Progressive ID to replace costly pre-printed labels with Toshiba in-store printing across its 70 locations. The solution has reduced label costs by over 70%, virtually eliminated wastage, improved operational efficiency, and enabled the bakery to meet Natasha’s Law requirements while printing labels on demand.
The Pain-Points / Challenges
- High costs associated with pre-printed labels
- Significant label wastage whenever ingredients or product information changed
- Time-consuming ordering, storage and distribution of labels across 70 stores
- Limited flexibility to respond quickly to changing daily product requirements
- Risk of unsold products being wasted due to a lack of suitable labels for end-of-day markdowns
The Recommended Solution
- Compact Toshiba desktop label printers installed across all 70 stores
- On-demand, printing in each store for greater flexibility and efficiency
- Printers integrated with the central allergen database and POS system to support full compliance with Natasha’s Law
- Labels and printers supplied through Progressive ID as a complete turnkey solution
- Full ongoing support, including three-year RTB cover and next-day replacement units
The Outcome
“Beyond the significant cost savings, this project has greatly enhanced efficiency across the business and helped us become a more sustainable organisation. Our IT team no longer spends an hour each night managing label deliveries or 3-4 hours a week coordinating with label suppliers, allowing our shops to operate independently. The Toshiba printing devices are user-friendly, durable, and exactly the high-quality standard I’m accustomed to. They’ve far exceeded our expectations, especially with the long-lasting print heads and platen rollers.”
