Product labeling is a key element in any business that deals with the production and distribution process. Label applicators are becoming an invaluable tool that allows manufacturers to apply labels to various types of products efficiently and accurately.
Let’s take a look at the basic breakdown of label applicators. Applicators with reprint and applicators without reprint fall into two main categories. Our company offers a wide selection of applicators from both of these basic groups.
Label applicators with overprinting
Label applicators with overprinting are equipped with an integrated print module. This allows variable data, such as serial numbers, expiration dates or barcodes, to be printed directly on the label at the moment it is applied to the product.
This gives manufacturers and distribution companies the flexibility and ability to easily update information on labels without having to stock large quantities of pre-printed labels with different information. The application of reprinted labels is often used in industries such as food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and logistics, where personalized labeling of products in real time during their production or packaging is important.
Label applicators without reprinting
When applying labels without reprinting, labels are applied to products without simultaneous printing of variable data. This means that the labels are pre-printed with constant information such as logos, product names or graphic elements and then applied to the products using applicators without reprinting.
This approach is often used in logistics, food packaging and other industries where speed and accuracy of label application are important. Also in situations where it is not necessary to change the variable data on the labels frequently, or where this data can be added later by some other means, such as a manual sticker or other automated processes after the application of the labels.
Pallet application of labels
During pallet application, labels are applied to pallets or goods on pallets. This process is especially important in logistics and distribution centers, where pallets and their contents need to be correctly marked and identified for proper arrangement, tracking and handling during storage and transport.
The application is carried out by pallet label applicators, which are devices designed specifically for this task and are able to apply labels to pallets in a variety of ways, such as single-sided, multi-sided applications or even while the pallet is moving. This process enables quick and efficient pallet marking with minimal human intervention.
High speed label applicators
For those who need an even faster solution, we offer applicators capable of high-speed label application at speeds of around 120 m/min. This technology is suitable for industrial applications, where maximum efficiency and minimization of time spent on labeling products is important.
