Solution:
MCC provided a tailored labelling solution using Direct Thermal synthetic material paired with a proprietary cold-temperature adhesive, SQRO07. This combination ensured label durability, enhanced readability, and consistent performance across their production processes.

Process Overview:
Key steps in the implementation included:

  • Material Selection: Synthetic Direct Thermal material designed for chilled and frozen environments replaced less durable paper labels.
  • Adhesive Matching: SQRO07 adhesive ensured strong initial tack on damp or frosted surfaces, providing secure adhesion.
  • Printing Technology:
    • Digital Printing: Used for initial short runs, offering vibrant and consistent colours.
    • Flexographic Printing: Transitioned to handle larger production volumes with high efficiency and precise colour matching.
  • Design Features: The labels incorporated gloss varnish on branding elements for added protection and visual appeal.

Result:
The new labelling solution delivered:

  • Enhanced durability in extreme conditions, maintaining brand integrity.
  • Superior performance across all stages of the production and distribution process.
  • Cost-effective scalability, supporting the growth of Our Cow’s operations.

As a result, Our Cow continues to thrive, delivering quality meat products to households nationwide. Their robust labels reflect their commitment to excellence, even during challenging times, fostering customer loyalty and community support.
