Client Overview
Business Name: Ramzi Ice Cream
Location: Palestine
Experience: Retail burgers and ice cream since 1984
Products: Branded ice-cream products across multiple flavors / SKUs
Challenge: Frequent product and artwork changes, and the need to print production/expiry dates in sync with daily manufacturing
Ramzi Ice Cream partnered with Qaraman, the exclusive Afinia Label distributor in Palestine, to implement an on-demand labeling workflow using the Afinia L801.
The Challenge
Before the Afinia L801 Digital Label Printer, Ramzi relied on pre-printed label rolls produced in larger quantities than actual daily need. Frequent flavor and SKU changes meant artwork and label text had to change often. Production and expiry dates needed to be printed accurately and kept aligned with daily batches. This caused wasted label stock, extra handling, and slowed production when labels no longer matched real-time requirements.
The Solution: Afinia L801 Digital Color Label Printer
The Afinia L801 Commercial Color Label Printer. The was introduced to move Ramzi Ice Cream from bulk pre-printed rolls to on-demand label production.
Key parts of the solution:
-
Use Print & Present (on-demand) printing to synchronize label output with the production line, avoiding stockpiled rolls.
-
Allow operators to switch artwork and flavor-specific text quickly for each run.
-
Print production and expiry dates inline as part of the same workflow so label data matches the day’s output.
Key Features of the Afinia L801 Digital Color Label Printer:
-
High-speed, full-color digital label printing suitable for food production runs.
-
Print & Present mode for synchronization with packaging lines.
-
Fast changeovers for frequent flavor/SKU updates.
-
Reliable batch, production and expiry date printing within the same workflow.
-
Low complexity and reduced inventory overhead compared to pre-printed rolls.
Since the integration of the L801 Commercial Color Label Printer, Ramzi Ice Cream has achieved:
-
Better alignment of label production to daily manufacturing, supporting faster, smoother output.
-
Elimination of unnecessary over-printing of label rolls “just in case.”
-
Ability for operators to change label artwork and text quickly between products.
-
Reduced waste and lower label management overhead.
