Timestrip plc develops, manufactures and sells patented Timestrip smart labels
which monitor how long perishable food and other limited life products have been
open or in use.
Premier Foods trial Timestrip with leading brand
The Company is delighted to announce that Premier Foods, the UK's biggest food
producer, has adopted Timestrip smart labels for use, on a trial basis, in
conjunction with its iconic Branston Pickle brand.
From mid-December, Timestrips will feature as an on-pack trial with jars of
Branston Original sold by Tesco throughout the UK. Mounted on an innovative
perforated neck collar, consumers will be able to activate the Timestrip upon
first opening the jar, affix the Timestrip to the top of the lid and thereby
monitor for how long the jar has been open.
Reuben Isbitsky, Joint CEO of Timestrip plc, said: ' We are delighted to be
working with such a high profile brand as Branston, which currently sells over
23 million jars a year and is bought by one in three households every year. We
hope that the launch at Tesco will lead to wider opportunities with Premier and
we will provide updates on progress with this relationship in due course.'
A Premier Foods spokesperson said: 'Premier prides itself on innovation and we
are pleased to be the first company to trial this exciting technology in the UK
retail food sector.'
