Forward thinking. Before it was necessary ⚙️ Around 15 years ago, we delivered a bespoke solution to a forward-thinking board game manufacturer looking to remove plastic film wrapping from their products. Long before sustainability became a widespread requirement, the objective was to replace shrink wrap with transparent tamper seal labels — maintaining presentation while securely sealing the box. The…

Repetitive Task. Obvious Savings. ⚙️ Sometimes, the benefit of automation is immediately visible. This video was taken just after installation of an ALfeeder stepper-driven friction feeder, fitted to automatically place a non-adhesive base card at the infeed of a flow wrapper. Taking a volt-free contact from the host machine, the ALfeeder delivers a precise single-shot drop of each card…

Easy drinking. Not-so-simple labelling. Made manageable with ALTech. 🥃⚙️ This is an ALline drinks labelling system we built for a premium pre-mixed cocktail producer. Like a good recipe, the line follows a precise routine: a sequence of proven steps executed in the correct order, every cycle, to deliver a consistent result. In the drinks market, that repeatability matters —…

ALwrap: not a dispenser. not a box–shift. ALwrap is our entry-level industrial desktop labelling machine — a genuine engineered platform (35kg+), not a lightweight dispenser-style unit. And it’s built around the brain of an advanced inline labelling machine from a labelling specialist, bringing control and capability you wouldn’t normally expect at this price point. But that power is only…

Premium Italian flair meets Welsh ingenuity 🏴 Crash-lock and corrugated outer case boxes don’t normally mix on one feed system — crash-lock blanks are often irregular / non-stackable with uneven mass, so “standard hopper feeding” becomes a compromised, tiny stack that isn’t worth the loading effort. This solution avoids compromise: • Bulk hopper + shingle infeed with automatic replenishment…

Just another simple case labeller… 📦 …until you look at what it actually has to do, 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐲 — and keep doing it the same way for 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬. This project is a good example of how “simple” can actually be quite complex. There isn’t a standard machine that should exist for this exact requirement — the 𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐭, 𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, and overall…

𝘼𝙇𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙚 — 𝘽𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙒𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙄𝙩 𝙈𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙨 ⚙️ This video shows a multi-panel ‘U-gate’ label application running as part of a multi-function ALline EC labelling system — also configured for front/back and wraparound labelling within the same platform, tailored to the specific requirements of our customer. Applications of this type demand consistent set-up and total reliability. They require high-frequency precision,…

Something a little different: TIJ direct–to–product marking ✍️📦 We’re known for labelling machinery, but in reality, labelling and coding are inseparable — and we routinely integrate everything from TTO through to laser. For many years, we’ve supplied TIJ (thermal inkjet) on a high proportion of our desktop labelling systems, because it’s a flexible and economical way to add variable…
