Flexible Dual Labelling system set to impact manufacturing
We are delighted to unveil a unique real-time print and apply application that delivers the functionality the market has been asking for.
The Dual Action Case Printer application allows selectable real-time print and apply of labels to the front, side or front and side of corrugated cardboard cases. Labels are applied with identical or different label content. Database driven auto configuration is available for quick changeover, removing the responsibility from operators. This is a solution that provides manufacturers with both flexibility and complete peace of mind.
The application does not require conveyor synchronisation delivering a low cost of ownership and high ROI, complemented by an industry best 3-year warranty.
