This was very much needed and at the top of the list for UAC as a need on all of their produce boxes that we send out every week to our subscribers, especially being that eggs & mushrooms are two of the most popular items. After being able to indicate if any box carried fragile eggs or mushrooms, and of which variety, for us and the customers we were able to properly handle & better communicate certain operations in the warehouse. We ultimately ended up utilizing different colored egg stickers to indicate different programs that we’re packing on a daily basis. This helped with general organizational management of the boxes tremendously.

This lead to me to spearhead the creation of “origin” stickers with the help of my manager’s initial idea of appropriately sourcing all of our items from the producers & farmers that supply us with particular goods. Signifying that they are locally sourced items with a distinct look that was subject to change was something that now had to tackle.

Urban Grown or NWK Newark Grown, based on a previous project I created before known as “Newark Grown”, then became my new interchangeable template design that I personally altered depending on where the supplier originated from if need be, so later on variations like, NWK Grown, NJ Grown & even Paterson Grown were used to indicate specific locations of a product or produce item that we utilize in the subscription boxes.
