19th March 2025
Consumers today are more price-conscious and environmentally aware than ever before. As the cost of living rises, shoppers seek ways to stretch their budgets while making more sustainable choices. One increasingly popular solution is bulk shopping. Purchasing in bulk enables consumers to minimise packaging waste while achieving significant cost savings, offering financial and environmental benefits.
For retailers, offering bulk purchasing options adds another dimension to the shopping experience. It attracts new customers, engages existing ones, and aligns the business with sustainable shopping trends. Investing in innovative bulk weighing solutions ensures convenience for shoppers and store operations, making bulk purchasing more efficient and accessible.
Innovative Bulk Weighing Solutions
Wedderburn offers a range of advanced weighing and labelling solutions designed to streamline bulk shopping experiences. From tare-free All-in-One Bulk Solutions to advanced self-service scales, our technology helps retailers deliver a seamless bulk shopping experience.
All-in-One Bulk Solution
The All-in-One Bulk Solution simplifies bulk shopping for your customers. The solution is comprised of three different scales: a hopper scale (ideal for nuts and confectionary), a scoop scale (suitable for pasta and pantry staples like flour), and a liquid scale (for items such as oil and vinegar). These scales are combined with an SM6000 Printer Console, which facilitates labelling.
- Supports zero-waste shopping: customers can bring their own containers, reducing unnecessary packaging and waste.
- Tare-free self-service: customers can fill their containers without the need to tare the container weight
- Real-time weight and pricing display: no surprises at checkout as customers see weight and price in real-time as they dispense/scoop their chosen product
- Simplifies shopping experience: correct product look-up (PLU) is automatically sent to the printer console, speeding up the shopping process
- Reduces shrinkage: with the correct PLU sent to the scale, this solution can help reduce product loss
- Regulatory compliance: approved for trade use and supports food labelling standards, including allergen information
