They don't need laser etching either. Take a basket of fruits, put a label on the basket.
Except, you have to build the laser... And the assembly line...
This is a pointless, wasteful novelty
How many different avocados have you seen in a single shop? In big supermarket there can be like 2 or maybe 3, small and big ones and the "premium" one with paper and/or plastic packaging sold for double the price for idiots
thankfully you don't work in the industry
Yes, the label is plastic or paper, but you'll have 1 label (reusable) for 50 or however many fruits fit into the basket in shop instead of having every single one labeled.
That's exactly how it works.
