Case Study
Sweet Bee Organics -
As Sweet Bee Organics continued to grow its range of natural wellness and cosmetic products, the business wanted to improve product consistency while reducing the labour required for labelling and batch coding. With increasing production volumes, manual processes were taking valuable time and introducing unnecessary opportunities for human error.
Already familiar with Atwell through an existing labelling machine, Sweet Bee Organics didn’t need to look elsewhere when the time came to automate more of its production process. The team returned to Atwell for a new labelling system alongside an inkjet batch coding solution.
The result is a streamlined labelling and batch coding solution that delivers greater consistency, improved efficiency and ongoing technical support whenever it’s needed.

Challenges
- Improve label accuracy and consistency
- Reduce human error
- Reduce labour hours spent on manual processes
- Eliminate individual batch coding labels
- Reliably handle increasing production volumes
- Create a more streamlined production workflow
The Solution
Having previously worked with Atwell, Sweet Bee Organics returned to the team to develop a solution that would automate both label application and batch coding.
The new labelling system provides more accurate and consistent label placement across Sweet Bee Organics‘ core product range, while the integrated inkjet coding solution removes the need for individual batch code stickers. Together, the technologies reduce manual intervention and create a faster, cleaner and more streamlined production process.
“It’s made for a cleaner and easier working environment.”
The Results
Since installation, the solution has reduced the manual workload associated with labelling and batch coding while improving consistency across Sweet Bee Organics‘ core products. The business has also seen reduced downtime and labour requirements, helping create a cleaner and more streamlined production environment.
For the production team, automation has also made day-to-day processes easier while giving operators the opportunity to develop new skills.
Benefits include:
- Improved label accuracy and consistency
- Reduced labour hours
- Reduced downtime
- Streamlined production workflow
- More consistent product presentation
- Reduced reliance on manual processes
- Improved operator experience
- Development of new operator skills
Ongoing Support
For Sweet Bee Organics, the relationship with Atwell extends beyond the machinery itself. When adjustments or technical support have been required, the Atwell team has responded quickly, providing on-site assistance where needed and direct support from the team.
That responsive approach has helped keep production moving and strengthened a relationship that began with Sweet Bee Organics‘ first Atwell labeller and continues as the business grows.
The long-standing relationship between both businesses continues to grow as production expands.
