Cutting Costs In The Food Industry

By Keren Kipfer


If you have a food product that you wish to sell to consumers all over the United States, there is no doubt you are concerned with keeping your operating costs at a minimum. While you don't want to sacrifice product quality, keeping cost per unit as low as possible is always a priority. Here are a few suggestions that might help you reduce your overall expenses.

When you are just starting out, it can be wise to lease your equipment rather than purchasing everything you need for your production. Leasing reduces your upfront costs substantially. Instead of buying equipment, you can concentrate on product design, quality control and marketing.

The type of packaging that you are using plays a big factor on the effects of your bottom line. Using less packaging for instance, generally saves you money however, having the right amount of size and packaging is important to surround and protect your food product. Using a lighter weight packaging is also another good alternative that can reduce your overall shipping costs and you can opt for plastic packaging or a combination of cardboard and plastic in keeping your items fresh and secured.

With that said, special information should be affixed which includes batch numbers and expiration dates onto these respective units. A machine known as an id coder or id printer is required to be able to do this. CIJ coders and DOD coders, including Domino coders, Videojet coders and other major brands consists of its many different types. An excellent way to cut cost is by purchasing refurbished coding equipment from a company such as PrintJet.

PrintJet also creates high quality versions of ink and make-up fluids for all of the major brands of coders which help in addition to refurbishing coding equipment and selling refurbished coding equipment. Generic versions of Videojet ink, Imaje ink, Domino ink and many other brands are able to be formulated. You can trim your bottom line by quite a bit when you purchase generic inks and fluids.

Trying to expand too quickly is one mistake that many companies take. Don't jump next to a new product until you have established success with your current product and this is particularly true if you have one specific food product that you are selling. Rather than trying to expand with many different varieties, it is best to add one new product at a time. One should not hesitate to remove a product that is recently introduced but isn't gaining popularity as other items need to be concentrated upon.
