In reaction to the Covid-19 pandemic, enVie, alongside various other organizations, launched the ‘Robin Food’ project to transform food surpluses into healthy sustainable foods that are made accessible to vulnerable people and families during the crisis. The project created a greater and more urgent demand for labels for enVie’s soup bottles. Thanks to OKI Europe’s Pro1050 Five Colour Label Printer, provided by OKI partner Tasco, this challenge was quickly resolved.
Before launching the humanitarian project, enVie had been using an external print supplier which proved costly, resulted in lengthy lead times and wastage of surplus labels. Following the implementation of OKI’s Pro1050 label printer, enVie can print the exact volume of labels it requires for each soup batch in-house and on-demand.

“As the printer can print nine meters a minute, we can get the labels out very fast! Especially on the Covid-19 project, we gained a lot of time when having the design ready, we could start printing immediately. Normally we would have to send the design to the print shop, wait for the proof and wait again for the delivery of the printed labels.”
Guy Boxall, Senior Manager, Narrow Format Printing at OKI Europe Ltd added: “The Pro1050 is designed to deliver speed, flexibility and professional results cost effectively for organisations that would benefit from being able to print labels on-demand, in-house. The work that enVie does to help people and families in need is truly fantastic and we are delighted that OKI’s Pro1050 label printer has helped enVie and the Robin Food project deliver a real social impact during these challenging times. Alongside the free social distancing signage packs that OKI Europe is offering to businesses throughout the pandemic, this is another great example of the important role print can play in making a real difference in otherwise challenging situations.”
