The newly created Tri-Label division will be able to produce labels from any PC and printer with Tri-Label Online. It is understood to be the UK’s only cloud-based nutrient labelling software package.
Tri-Star said the system is flexible and updateable, eliminating the need to buy or replace software discs whenever labelling regulations change. Users access Tri-Label Online via a secure web portal, through which foodservice operators can amend and self-print their labels as required to comply with the law.
In December this year, the EU’s Food Information Regulations will kick in requiring packaging to display more information on on allergen and nutrition labelling.
Speaking at the launch of Tri-Label at the Houses of Parliament, managing director Kevin Curran said: “The product we are launching is a cuttuing edge solution, the only one in the UK and Europe – nothing else is on the market gloabally. It allows smaller organisations to be compliant.”
Gordon Campbell from Tri-Label said: “This has been developed to allow users to maintain, develop and apply nutrition labelling. It’s future proof and is hosted by Amazon.The cost for a business works out at less than £1 a day [the online packaging is available at £25 a month].”
Curran added:: “Meeting new labelling regulations is a major challenge for most businesses and can be a real minefield, but with Tri-Label Online it’s a piece of cake. Whenever new rules come into effect, foodservice companies simply have to access their account on the Tri-Label cloud and make any changes required. It’s really as easy as that. No buying expensive software, no disruption or delays and no wasting time on staff training.”
