Jelly Belly Case Study
Jelly Belly’s niche is the ability to produce and package both large and small batches of candy, and the company’s various offerings mean that some confections are produced in large quantities, while others require smaller batches or seasonal production.
Many of these products are bagged in film packages, and each product package requires unique information specific to that particular product, such as expiration date, ingredient list, nutritional information, product weight and logo.
To accomplish these tasks, Jelly Belly installed 18 Videojet DataFlex® TTOs. The DataFlex printers provide Jelly Belly the flexibility it needs to create images and messages for coding on both the front and back of bags.
