Labelling

Labelling your food in the kitchen is a smart way of saving money. By having accessible and easy-to-read dates & ingredients, you not only protect your business with compliance, but you save money by making stock rotation that little bit easier. If you need a custom solution for pre-packaged foods such as sandwiches or rolls, visit our sister company Gen-Label. Whether you require bespoke labels supported by a full in-house design service or the convenience of simply using our wide range of off-the-shelf options, Gen-Label is the simple answer to all your labelling needs.

    Thermometers

    You may only require a budget-friendly dial thermometer to keep an eye on your ambient fridge or freezer temperature to comply with food safety laws. Or you may need a digital probe for cooking meats to perfection from our exclusive Prepara brand, or perhaps you need something that creates logs of all temperature recordings for large-scale business compliance.
