If you are a production manager or business owner in Malaysia, you probably face the same headache every day: Labeling Products.
For years, sticking adhesive labels (stickers) onto bottles, boxes, and pouches was the only way to show Expiry Dates and Batch Codes. But have you ever calculated the real cost of using stickers?
Here is a breakdown of why more Malaysian SMEs are switching from manual stickers to Bentsai Handheld Inkjet Printers (TIJ) from PTS Technology.
1. The Cost Comparison: Ink vs. Stickers
Let’s look at the operational costs. Using adhesive labels (stickers) means you pay for every single piece. Every time you label a product, you are spending money on the paper, the glue, and the backing sheet that gets thrown away.
With a Bentsai Handheld Inkjet Printer, you only pay for the ink. One single cartridge can print thousands of expiry dates. When you compare the cost per print against the cost per sticker, inkjet printing is just a fraction of the price.
Most of our clients find that the savings on consumables alone allow the printer to pay for itself within the first few months of use.
The Result: Switching to a handheld printer can save you up to 80% in operational costs per year.
2. Speed & Efficiency
Manual labeling is slow. Your operator has to peel the sticker, align it, and stick it on. If they stick it crookedly, they have to redo it. With a Bentsai B2, B3 or B71 Handheld Printer, the process takes 1 second. Just slide (or stamp) and go. You can double your daily production output without hiring extra staff.
3. Flexibility (No More Waiting for Suppliers)
What happens if you run out of "EXP 2026" stickers? You have to order from the printing shop and wait 3-5 days. Your production stops. With a Bentsai printer, you are in control. You can change the date, batch number, or even the logo directly on the touchscreen in seconds. No waiting, no downtime.
4. It Sticks Better (Especially on Plastic & Glass)
Labels often peel off in humid Malaysian warehouses or cold storage. Bentsai printers use Solvent Fast-Dry Ink. This industrial-grade ink dries instantly and is waterproof. It stays permanent on:
-
Plastic bottles (PET/HDPE)
-
Glass jars
-
Metal cans
-
Glossy boxes
