Bear Label Machine Inc

30 Years of Satisfied Customers

Del Monte Foods, Inc.

“In June of 2014 we installed three Bear Label machines for our 300 can label lines. These were used machines that that we picked up from a plant consolidation. The labelers sat around for almost two years on a pallet. We threw them in the back of a truck, and for a very reasonable price, had Bear label machine go through the machines. They cleaned up the parts they could save and replace the parts that were gone.

We installed them in June of 2014 year and had our highest through put of labeled 300 cans in one season to date. Bear came on site for start-up and helped with training our operators and mechanics. Anytime there was something we missed they were available by phone to help us work through the issues.

In February of 2015 we decided to go with Bear Label machine to replace our 2008 Burt #10 labeler that was not meeting performance expectations. Our biggest challenges were not only the capacity to label 216 #10 cans per minute; we also needed a reliable and easy to maintain label reloading capability. Our previous machines re-loader was inconsistent and difficult for seasonal operators to pick up. With our new #10 Bear Labeler it is done with the push of a single button.

The new #10 Bear Labeler only took us two days to install and get up and running to full speed. Our through put went up on day 1 by 27%. Once we eliminate a few upstream and downstream bottle necks, we finally achieved our AOP goals of 12,000 #10 cases per shift.
Bear label machine with their dependable, simple, easy to maintain equipment and quick response service and parts has been a big win for us here at Del Monte Foods Inc. in Modesto, CA.”

“Bear label machines are much more user-friendly than the other brands we have used. About ten years ago our business increased and at the same time we were retiring older operators and hiring new employees to replace them. We were having a hard time training the new employees to operate the label machines. We purchased our first Bear label machine and found it much easier to train our new operators to label our products with the quality and quantity necessary to meet customer needs. We have since replaced all our label machines with Bear machines. For the last ten years we have enjoyed minimum maintenance downtime, and increased production using the Bear label machines. We would rely on Bear Label Machine for any future label machine needs.”

“We changed exsclusively to Bear Labelers in 2013 from Burt. These labelers are great we have 15 that we currently use. You cannot go wrong with a Bear labeler. The great thing about these machines is the ease of operation and it cuts the amount of time it takes to train operator in half,with not as many adjustments as other machines it’s easy to troubleshoot and easy to maintain. These are great machines and I would recommend any company that is looking to upgrade label machines to go with Bear. The customer service is as important to me as the machine itself, everyone at Bear is always willing and able to help with any issue that arises. Darel and Brandon can usually fix any issue over the phone that you may have and Michelle is very knowledgable with parts and part numbers. The team at Bear is great!”

“We needed a can labelling unit that would be able to fit our needs. After seeing the Bear Label Machine in action, we were impressed and placed an order almost immediately. The most convincing reason we chose a Bear Label machine is its scalability. We can run the machine with minimum quantity orders, but have the assurance that when our volume increases, the Bear Label Machine can scale up as well.”
