KCS Print MIS System
The Digital Transformation Grant has enabled us to introduce a new management information system (MIS) which was installed 1st April 2022. This allows us to increase productivity and efficiency whilst manufacturing labels for the high-end food, drink and consumer markets.
It is part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund.
Barcodes
KCS have been a manufacturer of integrated labels for well over 15 years. In 2015 we invested in Inkjet equipment to make us the leading supplier in the UK for Integrated Barcoded labels for both 1D & 2D barcodes. These barcodes fit specifically the online returns market for carriers such as Royal Mail, Collect+, Asda toYou and myHermes.
•
We entered into an approval process last summer with Royal Mail to become a supplier of their 1D & 2D Barcodes, after months of testing, we finally gained approval on these labels.
•
Our systems allow us to not only check the barcodes for verification, but we also check for decodability using a grading process. We use the same verification grading scanner as Royal Mail to ensure the compatibility and quality matches the standard required. This allows us to maintain a standard from the approved samples throughout the print run.
