Why Vertically Aligned Print and Apply Labelling is Best-Practice

Cobalt Systems’ NEXUS 20 print and apply labelling technology features a vertical orientation that offers several significant advantages for businesses seeking efficient and reliable labelling solutions.

Here’s why:

GS1-Compliant Barcode Printing

The vertical design ensures that barcodes are printed in the correct GS1-compliant orientation. This compliance is crucial for maintaining supply chain standards and ensuring seamless product tracking and identification.

Extended Printhead Life and Reduced Costs

By adopting a vertical orientation, the NEXUS 20 extends the life of its printhead. This design reduces wear and tear, leading to lower consumable costs over time. Businesses can benefit from decreased maintenance expenses and less frequent replacements, contributing to overall cost savings and a winning ROI.

Increased Label Roll Capacity

The vertical configuration allows for printing with the wide edge leading, accommodating more labels per roll. This feature minimises downtime associated with roll changes, enhancing production efficiency and maintaining workflow continuity.

Ergonomic Advantages

Loading labels into the NEXUS 20 is simplified by its vertical design. Operators can leverage gravity during the loading process, making it more ergonomic and reducing the physical strain associated with horizontal systems. This ease of use can lead to quicker reload times and improved operator comfort.

Simplified Maintenance

Maintenance procedures are streamlined with the vertical orientation, as engineers have full access to the machine’s back without needing to remove it from the production line. This accessibility can save hours of potential downtime, ensuring that maintenance tasks are performed efficiently and with minimal disruption to operations.

In summary, the vertical orientation of Cobalt Systems’ NEXUS 20 print and apply labelling machine provides numerous benefits, including GS1-compliant barcode printing, extended printhead life, increased label roll capacity, ergonomic loading, and simplified maintenance.

These advantages make it a valuable asset for businesses aiming to optimize their labelling processes and enhance overall operational efficiency.
