If you’re in the mood for something sweet, then you’re in for a real treat, thanks to Cookies con Amore. Founded in 2005 by childhood friends Fernanda and Angelo Capraro, the company was born out of their shared passion for baking. They initially delighted family and friends with generational-familial cookie recipes. Eventually, they took their love for cookies to California in the 1970s, opening a series of Italian delis and the Villa Romana restaurant in Laguna Beach. Their journey culminated in the creation of Cookies con Amore, which has been growing ever since.
As the company expanded to over 45 employees, baking each order with love in their 33,000-square-foot bakery in San Marcos, California, it became clear that transitioning from manual labeling to a smarter solution was necessary. From providing cookies for family gatherings to offering online purchases and stocking store shelves, the evolution was inevitable, and that's where we come in.
Like many small businesses, Cookies con Amore started with manual labeling methods—using label guns, writing directly on products, and applying stencils. However, as their business grew, these methods became increasingly impractical and unreliable. Fernanda Capraro, the co-founder, shares the challenges they faced:

We aim to keep the coding and marking process simple, and we're glad to hear our Titan T6 handheld printer met those expectations. Yet, transitioning to new equipment can come with its own set of challenges.
Introducing new coding and marking equipment doesn't have to be daunting. Fernanda recounts their experience with the integration:
Getting familiar with new interfaces and software can be challenging. However, at Sneed, we believe in keeping coding simple, a principle Fernanda and her team noticed right away:
The Titan T6 has significantly improved productivity and operational efficiency at Cookies con Amore. Fernanda describes its impact:

The Titan T6's capacity to handle up to 10,000 prints per day has been a game-changer:
Customer testimonials like this highlight the significant difference our SNEED-JET® printers make for small businesses. We are thrilled to see Cookies con Amore not only replace their outdated labeling process but also free up valuable time.
