Davies Chocolates
When New South Wales chocolatier Davies Chocolates faced reliability issues with their printing equipment, insignia provided a high-quality, versatile thermal printing solution that would help improve traceability and reduce their operational costs.
Sidney Davies always had a passion for making premium handmade chocolates and has been crafting these sweet treats since 1932. Over years of practice and perfecting he became a master of his craft, creating some of Australia’s most delicious fondants, hard centres, jellies and gingers coated with the finest chocolate.
From those humble beginnings the business expanded, developing a loyal customer base supplying golf clubs, bowling leagues, RSL clubs and country clubs in New South Wales. Soon enough Davies Chocolates became renowned as a supplier of high-quality, handmade chocolates.
Through steady growth and eventual acquisition by the Kowald family, Davies Chocolates has maintained their emphasis on quality and creating the unique recipes that have set them apart.
Understanding the importance of quality, they realised the risk they faced when the equipment printing their crucial product and traceability information onto their foil packaging was providing print limitations and reliability issues. Traceability is crucial for food manufacturers; without it they lack visibility and the ability to react quickly and efficiently in the event of an issue in the supply chain.
When insignia learnt of Davies Chocolates’ concern, we presented the Domino V320i Thermal Transfer Printer as a solution. The Domino V320i offers speed and versatility, ideal when printing high quality graphics or text onto flexible packaging like foils, films and labels.
