Labeling machinery is equipment that dispenses, applies
or prints-and-applies labels to packages or products. Labeling machinery
manufacturers make varying types of machines, from completely automatic
print-and-apply high production units to simple manual dispensing devices.
Labeling machinery is designed to apply labels to a variety of products
and packages. Because of their multiple uses, different types of labels
are able to adhere to a variety of surfaces, such as fiber, aluminum,
glass, steel and plastic. Labels can be created in an array of designs
and colors, ensuring that there is a proper label for everything.
Manufacturers make labels for numerous purposes, such as shipping addresses,
product information, bar codes and inventory control and pricing. Because
the demand for labels is great in many situations, labeling machinery
is integrated into the processes of various companies that have a high
volume of packaged products being shipped. Other businesses that have
a system of inventory storage and management also require the use of
special labeling machinery and equipment. One of the most popular types
of labeling machinery is the automatic labeling machine, which is able
to do its job without needing an operator. This machine is simply made
up of a labeling applicator, a conveyor to transport the products and
a control system.
Compliance labeling is another compelling reason for the use of labeling
machinery as many equipment manufacturers frequently integrate these
machines into their overall plant processes. The development of compliance
labeling has had a widespread effect on retail manufacturers and other
warehousing facilities, and thus has created special relationships between
the retailers and manufacturers. This has resulted in the need for facilities
to use specialized labeling machinery and equipment. The government and
FDA have much influence over what products need to be labeled, and with
what information, for the safety and health of consumers.
Because labeling is so prevalent, many industries utilize labeling machinery
manufacturers. Some common examples of where labeling machinery is used
include industries such as food and beverage, cosmetic, animal care,
mail, agricultural, electronics, laboratory, construction, data collection
and communications. When choosing from labeling machinery manufacturers,
keep in mind whether special coding is needed, like bar coding, the volume
of labels to be printed at any given time and the variety of labels.
Also, make sure that the labeling machinery is equipped to run the kind
labels that are needed for a specific product, as they come in many different
sizes and uses.
Types of Labeling Machinery
Automatic applicators are
used for high volumes of labeling to label containers and other products.
As the conveyor moves the product or container into
position, a photo eye senses it and activates the application of the
label.
Label applicator dispensers are electrical label dispensers that provide
labels which have been partially peeled from the web. The operator
applies the label by hand to the product after removing it, and a sensor
in the dispenser recognizes the removal of the label and moves the
next forward.
Label applicators are machines that automatically apply printed labels to products.
Label machines can dispense, print, or apply labels to packages.
Labeling equipment includes the machines used to print and apply labels.
Labeling systems are used in the packaging process and can print and apply labels to final products.
Print-and-apply models/semi-automatic
applicators print labels when
needed and apply them. An operator positions the product and activates
the unit for label application by depressing a foot switch or a proximity
switch, palm button or hot eyes; the operator then removes the product
and continues the sequence again.
Labeling Machinery Terms
Acrylic Adhesive
- utilized with laser labels that is sensitive to pressure derived from
high-strength acrylic polymers
Adhesion - A bond created when two
surfaces come in contact; usually needs at least twenty four hours for
ultimate adhesion
Applicator - An apparatus that automatically
runs labels through and applies them to products
Barcode - A binary coding system in
optical reading utilizing bars of differing thickness or position in the
encoded field; theses codes are printed by machines
Coated Paper - Paper with a coating
on the surface that results in a smooth finish; these surfaces range from
eggshell to glossy
Cold Temperature Adhesive - an adhesive
that bonds to frozen or refrigerated typically colder than thirty five
degrees or less
Debossing - A procedure that presses
an image down into the paper surface; varies from embossing, which produces
a raised image.
Face Cut Label - square cut or die
cut label that does not have waste or matrix between labels removed
Fan-Folded Labels - labels on continual
backing that are pressure sensitive and have alternating folds along perforations
resulting in a type of flat pack.
High Temperature Adhesive - The purpose
of this adhesive is for labeling in environments where the heat exposure
is to temperatures exceeding four hundred fifty degrees
Label - the practical side of a pressure
sensitive assembly, consisting of a face and adhesive; consists of a variety
of shapes
Lift Tab - A label edge not covered
with adhesive for ease of removal; the coating of the adhesive used is
known as patterned gum
Machine Readable - the ability of
a label to be read through scanning barcode with a laser scanner or similar
apparatus; also known as Scannability
Pattern Gummed Adhesive - adhesive
coating that varies bands of non-adhesive going parallel with the direction
of the machine with bands of adhesive; frequently utilized with a lift
tab
Permanent Adhesive - typified with
a high ultimate adhesion since the label cannot be removed whole, or needs
a lot of effort to remove
Pressure Sensitive Adhesive - This adhesive is constantly tacky
and adheres to a wide range of surfaces it meets in conjunction with hand
pressure; the adhesion value determines whether it is removable or permanent
as well as the particular surface it bonds to
Release - The process of removing
a pressure sensitive label from the carrier or liner; this is interrelated
to the degree of tension required to release the label
Removability - the pressure or state
that pressure sensitive labels can be detached from a surface
Static Cling Labels - this label sticks
to a substrate through static electricity without adhesive
Tacky - The pressure sensitive label’s
preliminary bonding to a surface with the least amount of pressure and
contact time; also a description of the sticky feeling from physically
contact with adhesive
Web - A continual roll of label stock
that differs from sheets that are run through printing presses
