Overview

This machine labels cartons before they are folded. Unfolded cartons (flat blanks) are stacked on the card dispenser at the infeed, separated one at a time, conveyed to the labeling position and collected in a receiving tray after labeling. Besides cartons it handles paper boxes, folders and large paper cards, and it can apply either labels or self-adhesive film to the top surface.

Swapping the label-pressing (wipe-down) mechanism lets the machine label uneven surfaces as well. Speed is 30–60 pcs/min depending on product and label size, accuracy is ±1 mm (excluding product and label tolerances), and the product size range is built to the customer's samples. Standard labels run from 6 to 250 mm in length and 6 to 150 mm in liner width, and other label sizes can be made to order.

At approx. 3000 × 1000 × 1350 mm, the machine weighs 230 kg and runs on 220 V / 50 Hz. For dates, batch numbers or barcodes on the blanks, a ribbon coder, inkjet coder or label printer can be added.

Selection tips

  • For bags, color boxes and hang tags 40–300 mm in size, choose the automatic card-dispensing labeler (40–120 pcs/min).
  • For packed, folded cartons that need a printed label on the side, choose the side print-and-apply labeler.
  • For light cartons, protective film or silicone pads loaded in large batches, look at the automatic lifting-platform labeler.
  • If each card or carton needs a barcode or QR code printed on the spot, see the card-dispensing print-and-apply labeler.
