Following success in 2022 and 2020, barcode labelling specialist Clearmark will return to exhibit at this year’s BeerX, on 15th and 16th March, at Liverpool’s Exhibition Centre.

Clearmark’s ICE Vulcan Print & Apply Labeller in action at Vocation Brewery

With proven results in the brewery sector with The ICE Vulcan Print and Apply Labeller, Clearmark will be exhibiting its robust and versatile secondary pack labeller on stand 49.

Following the recent joining of Videojet and Clearmark Solutions in the UK, a broader range of coding and labelling solutions are available for the industry. The Videojet continuous inkjet (CIJ) solution, which prints variable data on to cans and bottles, will also be available to see at the show.

Over the past year, most brewing businesses have been affected by rising production costs, meaning that cutting costs by automating the packaging line is now more important than ever. Breweries can benefit from increased production speed, reliability, and freeing up operators to perform more value-added tasks, also helping to combat the issue of labour shortages.

The team will be on hand to chat to visitors about success in the industry with their application at Staffordshire Brewery. Not only does it brew its own line of beers, Staffordshire Brewery also has a contract bottling facility, meaning there’s a need to quickly change between labels without creating waste.

“Since automating our barcode labelling process with Clearmark’s ICE Vulcan Print & Apply Labeller, the system has been faultless,” said Adrian Corke, managing director of Staffordshire Brewery. “In hindsight it has proven to be one of the best pieces of automation equipment that we have ever invested in, and produces a label on every case without fail.”
