Frequently asked questions
Common questions buyers ask when comparing print and apply labelling machines.
Is carton barcode labelling suitable for a UK production line?
Yes, if the pack shape, label size, data source, throughput and application position are confirmed before specification.
Can the machine print variable data?
Yes. Print and apply labellers are commonly specified for barcode, QR, batch, date, SSCC, lot, serial and destination data.
Can it integrate with conveyors and warehouse systems?
Systems can be configured with sensors, HMI controls, stands, conveyors, PLC I/O and database or ERP data links where required.
What is the first step for a quote?
Send the label artwork or size, pack dimensions, line speed, application position, barcode format and photographs or video of the existing line.
