#KeepCodingSimple

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.

We're back in Texas for a few weeks after an exciting second stop of our "We're Coding Everywhere" trade show tour. Last week, we were blessed with the best weather sunny Southern California has to offer while exhibiting at WestPack inside the Anaheim Convention Center. 

Our VP of Technical Service is Giving Us a Behind the Scenes Look at the Coding Industry

Haven’t you ever wondered why out of all of the printing technologies available at Sneed Coding Solutions we decided to choose thermal-inkjet technology(TIJ)? There’s more to #KeepingCodingSimple than just stating it, but who better to give us an in-depth look at how thermal-inkjet technology compares to other printing technologies than our VP of Technical Services, Charles Collins; he’s been in the industry for over a decade, so if anyone can tell you about all of the different printing technologies it would be him. However, before Charles begins to school us on coding and marking options, let’s take a look at his start in the industry. 

Well, If you Contacted Customer Support and Spoke to Anthony, Then Surprise You Have! 

Our mission to #KeepCodingSimple isn't a one coder, one woman, or one man job, it takes a team to get the job done right; today, we want to highlight an essential member of the team. The member we’re focusing on made every day of his first year count, which is why it’s no surprise that he took home rookie of the year. Anthony DiMarino, our Technical Services Specialist, has gone above and beyond to help our customers fix any issue that they might have come across while using their SNEED-JET ® thermal-inkjet coders. There’s no need to dread having to add new equipment to your coding and marking process because Anthony and other tech members are here to guide you every step of the way. 

Case Erectors Open Automation Opportunities and Case Sealers Seal The Deal 

You’ve heard about case sealers and case coders before, but now there’s case erectors and case sealers; what a better way to streamline your packaging process than with this duo. While many individuals confuse these pieces of equipment or are completely oblivious to their existence, they make the biggest difference in your packaging process when paired together.  

We Were Just Warming Up Last Year, This Year We’ll do Even Better  

What Was the Initial Goal? 

What started off as a friendly competition to see who could get the most 5-star Google reviews, ended up as a race, to the finish, to see if we could earn 100 reviews by the end of the year. However, before we jump into how we amassed over 100 Google reviews, let’s see which one of our Sneed members got the most 5-star reviews. 

Our "We're Coding Everywhere" Trade Show Tour Moves on to WestPack in Anaheim, CA

We're back from our first stop on the "We're Coding Everywhere" trade show tour - as we've been covering on the blog and social media, we're attending 10 trade shows this year across 4 countries!! 

What Could Possibly Be Better Than Winning MVP? How About Winning People’s Choice at the Same Time? 

The History of Sneed Coding Solutions 

Our CEO, Bryan Sneed, had been in the coding and marking industry for 15-years when he decided to start Sneed Coding Solutions at the end of 2017. While Bryan had worked with continuous inkjet and high resolution print systems over the course of his career, in 2006 he got hooked on thermal-inkjet technology, after he started working with ANSER printers. 

Our Pallet Wrappers Will be Available Later This Year 

We intend to keep every part of packaging simple and in order to do that we need to make sure that from the time boxes are formed to the point they’re being prepped for distribution, we’re doing just that. Our first venture into packaging equipment started with our case sealers, then we added our case erectors, which are now available to preorder, and later in 2023 we’ll be adding our pallet wrappers.
