What is print and apply labelling?
It is automatic printing of variable information followed by automatic application of the printed label.
Print and apply labelling machines
Print and apply labelling machines print variable data and apply the label automatically. They are used where information changes by product, batch, order, carton, case or pallet.
Typical uses
Print and apply systems are common for barcodes, batch codes, shipping labels, product identification, logistics labels and pallet labels.
Printer and applicator choice
The correct system depends on print resolution, label size, data source, application position, product speed and whether the label is applied by tamp, blow, wipe or swing arm.
Integration requirements
Data handling, scanner verification, reject logic and line control should be reviewed before installation.
Quotation tip: For a faster recommendation, send product dimensions, label dimensions, label roll details, output target, photos and any existing line layout.
