Case Study 1

Revolutionizing the Gift Card Label Industry through Consistent Customer Experience

Our commitment to understanding and addressing customer challenges resulted in a groundbreaking product that set new benchmarks and fostered positive change in the market.

Before engaging with our services, the customer had been struggling with a multitude of issues related to their gift card labels. These issues included variations in label sizes, inconsistent label quality, and a range of methods of use that often resulted in scratching and peeling. The lack of a standardized and high-quality label impacted the overall customer experience and, in turn, the brand reputation of our customer.

Understanding the customer’s challenges, we embarked on a comprehensive year-long project to develop a revolutionary gift card label that would address all the pain points faced by the industry. Our team conducted in-depth research to identify the right materials and suppliers for creating a label that would be both durable and aesthetically pleasing.

The key objectives of our solution development were as follows:

  1. Consistency: We aimed to create a label that offered a consistent size, quality, and usage experience across all gift cards.
  2. Durability: The label had to be resilient to scratching and peeling, ensuring a long-lasting and visually appealing appearance.
  3. Industry Compliance: We worked closely with the customer to ensure that the new label adhered to industry standards and regulations.

The outcome of our collaborative efforts was a groundbreaking gift card label that set new industry standards. The label not only met the customer’s initial requirements but exceeded expectations by introducing features previously unseen in the market.

The new label was:

  1. Materially Superior: Crafted from a unique material that enhanced durability and resistance to scratching and peeling.
  2. Universally Applicable: Designed to fit all sizes of gift cards, providing a standardized and consistent appearance.
  3. Easy to Use: The label incorporated a user-friendly application method that streamlined the process for both customers and retailers.

The introduction of this innovative label had a profound impact on the industry, effectively moving it forward by addressing longstanding challenges faced by businesses and customers alike.

Upon implementing the new label, our customer witnessed a significant improvement in customer satisfaction and brand perception. The consistent and satisfying experience across all their gift cards contributed to increased customer loyalty and positive reviews.

Furthermore, the industry as a whole benefited from the advancements introduced by our solution. Competitors soon followed suit, adopting similar approaches to enhance their own products and contribute to the overall elevation of industry standards.

An Innovative Adhesive Solution for Customer’s Unique Requirement

STL provides customized adhesive solutions for a wide range of industries. In this case study, we explore a challenging project initiated by a machine manufacturer (referred to as “MM”) who approached us with a unique adhesive challenge.

MM’s client had a specific need for an adhesive solution that posed a considerable challenge. The requirement was to develop an adhesive patch capable of applying a thick layer of adhesive to a material, allowing for subsequent rolling without any oozing or separation of the adhesive.

MM’s client, despite having a clear objective, lacked a precise idea of how to achieve the desired outcome. Recognizing our expertise in coating and converting products, MM approached STL with the expectation that our unique capabilities could provide a solution to their client’s challenging problem.

*Machine Manufacturer (MM): A leading manufacturer of industrial machines catering to various sectors.

Recognizing the client’s limited understanding of the required solution, we got to work developing a custom adhesive patch capable of applying a thick layer of adhesive to a material and enabling subsequent rolling without oozing or separation. Collaborative discussions and iterative prototyping were crucial to refining the specifications.

Creating an adhesive that maintained its integrity through the application of a thick layer and subsequent rolling required a deep understanding of material science and precise formulation.

STL initiated a collaborative design process involving close communication with the end client. This ensured a thorough understanding of the project requirements.

The collaborative efforts between STL, MM, and their end client resulted in the successful creation of a groundbreaking adhesive solution. The custom adhesive patch, with its unique ability to apply a thick layer without oozing or separation during rolling, not only satisfied the immediate need but also set a new standard in the industry.

  1. Custom Adhesive Formulation: Leveraging our in-house research and development capabilities, we formulated a custom adhesive designed to meet the unique demands of the project.
  2. In-House Conversion: Our state-of-the-art conversion facilities allowed us to seamlessly convert the custom adhesive into patches meeting the specified dimensions and requirements.
  3. Innovation in Adhesive Technology: The successful development of a custom adhesive patch that met the complex requirements showcased STLs’ innovation in adhesive technology.

This project exemplifies STL’s commitment to innovation and problem-solving. By overcoming challenges and leveraging our expertise in coating and converting products, we not only met the client’s expectations but also left a lasting impact on the industry. The success of this project has strengthened our reputation as a reliable partner for customized adhesive solutions.

Tailored Solutions: Custom Product Development

STL was approached by a customer facing a unique challenge. The original equipment
manufacturer (OEM) product they were using did not function optimally with their specific machinery.

As the credit card industry evolved, the existing labels on the market were slow to change. To the frustration of card manufacturers and customers, labels intended for plastic were attached (unsucessfully) to newer cards made out of metal and eco-friendly materials.

Recognizing the opportunity to create a tailored solution, STL collaborated closely with this customer to understand their requirements, specifications, and goals. Then, we got to work!

STL was granted the freedom to experiment and develop a custom label that would seamlessly integrate with their machinery. Regular bi-weekly visits were scheduled, allowing STL to test prototypes on-site and make real-time adjustments based on machine performance.

Through this collaborative partnership, STL was able to fine-tune the label design and adhesive properties to perfectly suit the customer’s equipment.

The end product was a custom-tested label that not only resolved the initial issue but also outperformed the OEM product in terms of efficiency and durability.

The successful collaboration not only solidified the customer’s trust in STL but also showcased the company’s commitment to providing tailored solutions.

This positive experience prompted another manufacturer facing a different challenge to seek our expertise.
