el Online scooped the top prize in the product/equipment section of the category. Judges said they felt that the Tri-Label system was “innovative and a flexible approach to providing labelling information”.The Sammies are the annual awards of the British Sandwich Association. This is Tri-Label Online’s second major award of 2014, having already been named Product Launch of the Year (Packaging & Disposables) at the Essential Café Trade Awards in March.
The ground-breaking, easy-to-use and low-cost cloud software package is flexible and updateable, eliminating the need to buy new software discs whenever labelling regulations change. Sandwich retailers access Tri-Label Online via a secure web portal, through which they can amend and self-print their labels as required to comply with the law.
Tri-Label Online takes away the hassle and expense of complying with new EU labelling regulations, helping café operators to amend their labels seamlessly and comply with the law with the minimum of disruption. The service is available for a modest monthly subscription fee, which varies according to the size of a business.
Kevin Curran, Managing Director of Tri-Label’s parent company Tri-Star Packaging, said: “We already know that Tri-Label Online is something special that can make an enormous positive difference to the lives of sandwich retailers, contract caterers and food-to-go operators. However, it’s fantastic to see that the service is also gaining recognition from industry experts such as the Sammies judges.”
He continued: “At Tri-Star, we don’t introduce an innovation unless we know it will genuinely offer businesses a new and better way of doing things that will improve their efficiency and maximise their profits. Tri-Label Online meets these criteria perfectly, and winning these two awards back-to-back really showcases the enormous potential it has to revolutionise how cafés and other sandwich businesses approach labelling.”
