Types of Label Applicators
|
|
|---|---|
Top – The label is placed on a product from above. Applications include clam shell containers, cartons, DVD cases, & container caps or lids. It can be easily integrated into production lines.
Side – Labeling the side of a box or product. Used for case labeling, spot labeling, or prime label applications, and can be integrated into custom production lines.
Bottom – The label is placed onto the product from below. Applications include prepackaged food, clam shells, bottles, cartons & cases. This uses a hugger or split conveyor.
Front/Back – Applies labels to the front & back of a product. The prime label is applied with merge/wipe on. Common use is retail products but can be used for any type of front/back applications.
Corner – wraps a single label around the corner of a carton traveling down a conveyor line. As the carton comes by, the tamp pad applies the label to the front panel, then swings around the corner & wipes the rest of the label on the adjacent side. View Video
Dual – Applies label front/side or back/side of the same product (multiple labels onto one product). It can be used with case labeling. View Video
Wrap – uses a vacuum drum that follows the shape of the product. It can partially or completely wrap around a round container. It can be used to apply front/back labels with the correct application. A common use is wine bottles
Swing Tamp – The tamp swings down to apply a label. The applicator is positioned away from the product so not to be in the way for moving down a product line. Applies label to leading/trailing edge of a product. Example: case labeling
Loose Loop – Integrates a stand alone label printer & a standard label applicator. This offers a wide variety in printers with a choice for labels sizes, print speed, and application speeds. Labels are printed on the stand alone printer & threaded into an interfacing label applicator. The loose-loop method has a faster application rate than a print engine. They are great for labeling larger product lots. It can be used to merge or wipe on thermal transfer labels.
Rotary – handles four panel, neck-on oval, semi-oval, triangular, three panel, or safety seal (tamper-evident) labeling.

Tamp Blow – applicators eliminate contact & blow a label on a product from approximately ¼” away or by lightly hitting or tamping a product as it passes by. View Video
Air Blow – applicators apply labels without contact & from a further distance away using air. View Video
Wipe On – applicators apply longer labels by wiping over the label with a soft brush. View Video |
