Application evidence
Match the top or side applicator to the product datum
Flat products need repeatable height, lateral position and separation before they pass the label head. Flexible pouches may need flattening or controlled feed; cartons may need guides that do not crush or open them. Confirm the label position from a stable edge and the wipe-down method over seams or flaps.
Flexible products
Trial the least rigid pouch, card or lid to determine whether flattening, vacuum, belts or a dedicated feeder are needed.
Wipe-down path
Show seams, flaps, ridges and openings that could interrupt label contact or be damaged by guides and rollers.
Use the line-layout guide to prepare the trial and enquiry information.
Check a top or side application
Send the lightest and least rigid products, final labels and the intended feed method so presentation and wipe-down can be reviewed together.
