Avery vs Cas Scale Labels: Which Is Right for Your Butcher’s Shop?

Choosing Between Two Leading Label Options

When it comes to labelling meat, poultry, and deli products, butchers rely on thermal scale labels that deliver clear pricing and essential food information. Avery and Cas are two of the most popular brands - but which is right for your shop?

Avery and Cas scale labels are thermal stickers designed for weighing scales to print product details such as weight, price per kilogram, and use-by dates. Both are food-safe, reliable, and widely used in butcher shops. The best choice depends on the scale system you already own.

In this guide, we’ll compare Avery vs Cas scale labels, highlight their differences, and help you decide which option suits your business best.


What Are Scale Labels and Why Do They Matter?

Scale labels are direct thermal labels used in weighing machines to print key product information. They are essential for:

  • Compliance with food labelling regulations.

  • Customer confidence and transparency.

  • Efficiency in busy retail environments.

Whether you choose Avery or Cas, these scale labels ensure every pack of meat is clearly marked with the information customers expect.


Avery Scale Labels Explained

Avery Berkel is one of the most widely used scale brands in the UK retail sector. Their compatible labels are:

  • Direct thermal – no ink or toner required.

  • Food-safe – suitable for fresh meat, poultry, cheese, and deli items.

  • Available in common sizes like 58mm x 100mm Avery Berkel Direct Thermal Scale Labels.

  • Reliable – producing crisp prints that remain clear throughout shelf life.

Avery labels are a go-to for many butchers thanks to their consistency and compatibility with leading weighing machines.


Cas Scale Labels Explained

Cas is another major supplier of weighing scales for butchers and food retailers. Their compatible labels share many of the same advantages as Avery:

  • Durable adhesive – sticks securely to packaging.

  • Clear print quality – ensures prices and dates are easy to read.

  • Thermal printing – no ink cartridges required.

  • Cost-effective – often more affordable than manufacturer originals.

Cas scale labels are ideal for butchers who already operate Cas machines, offering dependable results without unnecessary expense.
