Label Applicator
Whether you are looking to label bulk products, industrial items, or a conveyor line, a label applicator can automate the general process, minimize costs, and enhance business efficiency.
Label applicators are machines that apply pressure-sensitive labels to bottles, containers, drums, or packages as part of the labeling process. Label rolls are placed inside the applicators, dispensed, and applied onto the product surface, thereby upgrading the labeling process, reducing costs, and improving operational reliability. Due to their small size, label applicators can be installed practically anywhere without hogging large spaces. They also offer a wide array of helpful features that can be configured to fit any operation. There are different types of label applicators, including:
- Hand-held label applicators. These are easy to use and more precise in delivering the results due to the high accuracy of label placements. This label applicator is perfect for smaller labels and application processes requiring more mobility and flexibility.
- Bottle label applicators. These applicators are designed to accommodate cylindrical containers and sit smoothly on the product surface. Both big and small bottle label applicators come in semi-automatic and manual variations and either utilize a brush or roller application.
- Tamp label applicators. These tiny devices are used to place the product label forcefully on the container’s surface, thus creating a seal between the product and the label.
Automatic Label Applicators
Automatic label applicators offer precise placement of pre-printed labels and reduce the need for a hand-apply or manual process. There is a built-in feature on these label application machines that allows the container to be positioned before a label can be applied. The label is applied smoothly once it has been positioned. Certain automatic label applicators have a system of repositioning the product more than once to apply multiple labels. The automatic label application machine you choose will depend on the following factors:
- Operating expenses and price. Some automatic label applicators cost as little as $3000, while others can go as high as $20,000, depending on their features. Since fully automated applicators require zero human intervention, they come with a hefty price tag but can help the business save overtime, especially labor costs.
- Company operations. If your business deals with a wide range of products, an automatic label applicator is ideal since it allows you to change the shapes and sizes of containers on the production line.
- Power requirements. Heavy-duty automatic label applicators might require an outlet upgrade. The use of pneumatic machines and air-blown applicators requires compressed air.
