fewer trucks to deliver the same or more labels to you, so we are reducing that resource expenditure altogether. There are sustainability metrics associated with all the upstream and downstream talking points with production. This is a useful exercise we offer to our customers to go through a couple of critical sizes or types or all those brand size equations, so you can understand what the value is beyond the initial monetary piece. It will have some intrinsic monetary value, but it’s not the cost of goods directly, but internal monetary benefits. When you start looking at the overall savings, not just from a cost perspective, but yields for space and sustainability as well, you’ll notice that it can be quite significant. Read some real cases: • The reduction of the number of trucks, in some cases we have reduced by up to 60 trucks, then we have taken 60 trucks off the road for a brand. That’s a combination of incoming and outgoing trucks because we are bringing fewer trucks, we are sending fewer trucks with the same amount of material or more there. • Regarding avoiding polymers from the carbon footprint, in some instances they have saved 30,000 to 40,000 pounds = 13.6 to 18.1 metric tons of polymer for an annual basis.

We can do these complete calculations taking into account the considerations of: how many lines are running; of those lines how many are manual? Splices, are you setting up the splice? Are you stopping the line? Are you making the cut in the existing reel? Are you inserting the new reel, pulling the label through as in typical older Trines or B&H or non-automatic splicers? We can sit down with you and take a deep dive to your specifications and get some real-world numbers that are indicative of savings.
