Abeilles Busy Bees, a packaging company in Montreal, Canada, recently decided to bring its label printing in-house with the installation of the Anycut III laser finishing system and ANY-002 roll-to-roll, color printer.  Both machines are available from Arrow Systems.

Rather than buy only a label printer and pre-cut labels, they decided to take advantage of the cost savings associated with printing and diecutting their own labels, in-house. The Anycut III laser finisher paired with the Any-002 from Arrow Systems, Inc. was the ideal solution to meet their requirements.

These two systems, combined, allow Busy Bees to produce hundreds of thousands of labels per month and drastically reduce their label costs, while increasing productivity and versatility.

Busy Bees is starting to produce all of their previously outsourced labels in-house using the equipment from Arrow Systems, Inc. The full color Any-002 will allow them to create high quality labels for their packaged goods, while the laser finisher allows them to move away from pre-cut label inventory.

“The ability to be able to print barcodes and UPC labels, as well as full color labels factored into our decision to bring in this equipment,” says Henri Gundi of Busy Bees. “Arrow Systems helped us every step of the way to make the right equipment decisions for what we needed.”

“Laser finishing gives customers added capacity compared to precut labels or blade finishers,” says Shaan Patel of Arrow Systems, Inc. “We believe the industry is starting to gravitate more and more to laser finishing as the technology continues to advance and the price becomes more affordable.”
