PrisymID expands into food & drink industry

Further expanding its client base in the food & drink industry, PrisymID has been awarded two contracts due to its 'fast turnaround, reliability and consistent label quality', according to a statement.

The company is providing Williamson Fine Teas with plain and printed labels in varying sizes for its extensive range of quality teas as well as supplying wholesaler C & S Catering in Berkshire with printed labels for its sandwich sleeves. 

Karen Gibbins, production manager at Williamson Fine Teas, commented: ‘We produce teas of the highest quality and in turn we demand high standards of our suppliers, which is why we choose to work with PrisymID. As we have thousands of different product lines exported worldwide, reliability is vital as any breaks in production, no matter how short, can be costly. A test of any company is how they react under pressure and PrisymID are always quick to respond to our needs, providing next day delivery when necessary.’  

The labels appear on Williamson’s product lines including its eye-catching tins of loose teas featuring blends such as Earl Grey, Assam and Caramel. The labels, printed in six different languages including Japanese and Russian, carry essential information including a description of the tea, quantity or weight and instructions.  

Chris Saunders, managing director of C & S Catering, agreed: ‘When dealing with packaging for the sandwich and snack market, fast turnaround times and competitive pricing is essential. We, therefore, demand high standards from our suppliers. PrisymID certainly meets all our criteria. We can rely on the company to deliver on time every time and the quality of the labels is always excellent.’ 

PrisymID has recently expanded its bureau printing facility in Wokingham in order to meet the needs of its growing client base in the food and beverage industry. Specializing in short-to-medium runs of labels and tags, the company can supply up to eight-color printed labels in any shape, size, color or quantity and include company logos, variable text barcodes and graphics.

Labels can be supplied on any substrate; printing onto speciality papers, card, fabric and a range of specialist synthetic materials to ensure labels survive even the most difficult applications.
