Here’s How Automation is Leading the Way to a More Skilled Workforce
Why is it that anytime a workplace mentions automation, the workforce immediately goes into a state of frenzy; could it be because workers immediately jump to the conclusion that they’re getting replaced? Contrary to popular belief, automation is meant to help us with the heavy loads at work; it’s not meant to take over every single department and task. Think about it this way, would you rather have your workforce spend entire shifts canning, packaging, sealing, and doing the same repetitive tasks day in and day out, or would you rather place them in roles that have more opportunity for growth and productivity? Automation is not the scary monster everyone has made it out to be, so let’s take a better look at what’s happening behind the scenes.

Are Outdated Coding and Marking Practices Holding Back Your New or Small Business’ Production?
Picture this, you’ve spent weeks, months, even years preparing to launch your own business; you’ve planned out every step of the process leading up to this day, but the real question is, have you thought about what comes next? What’s the plan for whenever production starts to ramp up, or whenever you start adding new product lines, or even when the possibility for expansion is on the horizon?

Here’s How to Avoid Selecting Just Any Type of Packaging
You’ve researched how to start, run, and grow your business; you’ve spent an infinite amount of time laying down the groundwork and yet it feels as if you’re overlooking something, but what could it be? If you haven’t done your packaging research, then it might be time to put aside the belief that any old packaging will get the job done. Selecting generic packaging that doesn’t meet your products’ needs, provide sufficient security, or appeal to your client base could hinder your ability to succeed and no one wants that. Everyone’s needs for packaging are different, which is why a one-size-fits-all solution won’t work here, so here are our top six-factors for narrowing down the right packaging for you.

Here are 5 factors and options to consider before deciding on a packaging style
All Packaging Options are Not Created Equally
There’s nothing worse than waiting all day for your package to arrive, only for you to find the contents damaged, the box all banged up, or even some of the order missing; we’ve all been there, but what if there was a way to minimize those odds, from the very start? Having the right box would not only give you and your customers peace of mind, but it would also give the contents inside an extra level of protection. Just like we believe that there’s no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to coding, the same principle applies for packaging.

Simple Farming and Coding; It’s What Makes the People Happy
What is Hidden Stream Farm Known For?
Nowadays, it would seem that the majority of food is genetically modified, grown around pesticides, or filled with preservatives, but Hidden Stream Farm has made it their mission to provide clean, healthy, pasture-raised livestock. Larger farms often use hormones to speed up an animal’s growth, to keep up with demand, but that’s not the case here. Hidden Stream Farm believes that, “healthy animals make healthy people,” and as a result they’ve dedicated their farm to producing chicken, beef, and pork with no chemicals, hormones, or antibiotics.
