Burn Hot Sauce (www.burnhotsauce.com) is an original, small batch, farmer and chef-owned business in Santa Cruz, California. All of their produce is grown on organic farms; and is raw, alive and full of probiotics. Their single-origin fermented hot sauces age for months, highlighting the farm on every bottle; and are made with love.

When asked about their interest in printing color labels on-demand, Chase Atkins and Amada Pargh, owners of Burn Hot Sauce, said, “We like the ability to modify our label designs at any time; which helps us conserve media. In addition, we wanted to print labels ourselves to save time. It takes a lot of time to purchase and use preprinted labels.”
After trading a few emails, Amanda and Chase sent me a PDF of their labels.

I printed from the C7500 and sent print samples of their labels to them to review. As I did not have the correct size of label, it was difficult to impossible to print full bleed. But the label print quality was good.

However, I sent them only paper as I did not understand their requirement for waterproof labels.
Once Amanda and Chase received the labels, they wrote, “Unfortunately we will not be buying an C7500 printer since it does not suit our needs. The gloss paper disintegrates in water”. In addition, Amanda and Chase were MAC users. Initially, they did not want to use a printer with no MAC printing capabilities. If you want to print labels from your MAC computer, read this post from our Tech Support Manager Tim: http://colorlabelsondemand.blogspot.com/2016/02/printing-from-epson-label-printers.html
After receiving this email, I sent them another set of samples from the C7500 on matte poly labels. Our matte poly labels are very durable, waterproof and chemical resistant. If you search “GHS” on our blog, you will see many posts on labels for GHS.
After testing the poly labels, Amanda and Chase purchased a C7500 and 2.5” x 6” labels and started printing!

According to Amanda and Chase, “we like the C7500 color label printer. This printer has great print quality and speed; and enables the use of a variety of label media.”

Since receiving Burn Hot Sauces pickles, I can vouch that they are Spicy; and Good!
Also, I found the Cyklon Probiotic Powder a very interesting product. I look forward to finding a new interesting way to use the powder.
Now producing their own labels, Burn Hot Sauce will start printing for other local food manufacturers. Chase will begin printing labels for two other food companies shortly; with customized label sizes from us.
We enjoy working with food manufacturers like Burn Hot Sauce; producing unique, specialty products. Our print on-demand color label systems fit their requirements well; and we get to try great tasting food! Contact us if we can help with your custom labels.
