Question about displaying ingredients and sell by dates

Post by Vending61 »

I have some machines with Tubs and some towers where I have found the sites myself, on the tubz vending machines I have no problem as their stock comes with labels that have a sell by and ingredient lists on them but I am trying to increase my margins on my own sites by self-packing at present I am only buying stock that is pre packed so that it has labels with the ingredients on it and thought that if I changed say to loose skittles that I would have to create labels for them. I was wondering though whether I need to do this as I was looking at a large multihead beaver in a shopping centre and some of the stock in there (minstrels) looked terrible and there were no lists of ingredients or sell by dates on the machines and can’t see why I would need to list these if the beavers don’t and would be grateful if someone could explain this to me.

Many thanks
Simon

Do a search on here this has been answered previously. When I have self potted I have done labels for the lids with ingredients and sell by dates, others have stated that 1 label on the outside of the machine showing ingredients and a sticker with sell by date on the pot will surfice

there is no law stating you have to do it however if your looking to increase sales its easy to use a label maker and buy blank labels off ebay, i use smartsyssoft label maker and its really easy to use, have all my ingredients, bb date and description on label. having it on tower sticker is good as well, keep in mind though without sticker you have to fill pot to top.
