The printing and application devices (Print&Apply) – used for printing variable information on the label and label application to the product or its packaging. They are customized to operate and be installed directly on the production lines. The printing and application devices consist of a printing module based on thermal transfer technology and an applicator. The printing modules are adjusted to printing texts, numbers, weight of products, bar codes and 2D codes, and to encoding RFID tags. The printing and application devices ensure the maintenance of high efficiency of production while preserving accuracy and aesthetic look of the applied label. Label applicators used in Print&Apply devices are adjusted to applying labels to flat and round surfaces. They provide a possibility of application on two adjacent sides of the packaging. We recommend Label-Aire LA 3138NV applicators with Zebra ZE5X1 printing modules, which allow you to print labels at a speed of up to 18 inches / second and the option of high print resolution up to 600dpi. The touch color control panel allows for easy configuration of the parameters of printed labels and error diagnostics. An interesting functionality is the possibility of direct printing of labels saved in PDF format, generated e.g. from ERP systems.
Application
A system designed for labelling cartons and other flat surfaces. Printed labels can be applied using various application methods including blowing, pressing, or rubbing the label against the labelled surface. The applicator provides high precision of label application even at high operating speed of the device. The printing and application system connected to measuring equipment can print information on labels related to the product, such as weight or serial number.
A system designed for marking of pallets with a logistics label together with the verification of the correctness of barcodes. It is equipped with an automatically adjusted actuator which applies the label. The industrial labelling machine is suitable for 24/7 continuous operation. The device can be built-in or equipped with an automatic height-adjustable stand. Thanks to that it is possible to position the printing and application device at the height at which the label is applied to the pallet.
A single device which makes it possible to simultaneously print out and apply labels to two adjacent sides of a box or pallet. Such a solution makes it possible to reduce the number of devices used and lower the investment costs. Application of labels can be carried out in a sequential way or with the aid of a production-line PLC.
A labelling system with corner folding is intended for labelling and sealing of boxes. The printed label is applied to two adjacent sides of the packaging for better product identification. Depending on whether labelling takes place while the product is stopped or in motion, the application is carried out using a special adaptive split head or additional tightening accessories.
A Print and Apply system for automatic labelling of cylindrical products with large and small diameters. The printed label is automatically applied to the wrapper with or without an overlap. The labelling machine is suitable for labelling both short and long round products. Specialist heads make it possible to label cylindrical products without the need for rotating them during label application.
A labelling machine for applying flag-shaped labels to thin round products such as wires, tubes, rods, and shafts. A single tip can apply printed labels to goods of different diameters. It is possible to integrate the system with thermal transfer printers of various manufacturers.
A complete system for transportation and labelling of bottles, jars, and cans. The system integrated with printing and application devices simultaneously transports, segregates, and positions the packaging. The line has a wide scope of adjustment to the handled products and changeover options. The labelling machine makes it possible to apply labels around the circumference of a product, on opposite sides, from above or from below.
