Tamp/Tamp-Blow/Air-Blow application methods 🌬️ are commonly used with print and apply machines because they allow the label to be printed in a different rotation to its application, e.g. printed Portrait, applied Landscape.
These solutions all have their place, but often, they are selected through necessity – being the only option available to the competitor – and are not ideally suited to the application if there is a need for contact application while the product continues to move.
In this flat sack application, we demonstrate a special swinging plate solution where the label is accepted at 90 degrees to the application orientation from the advanced Sato print engine with our ALcode print and apply machine.
In this way, the barcode can be printed optimally, “with the pin,” which provides a fixed relational distance between the bars for ANSI verification while providing the benefit of a positive ‘contact’ application where an air-blow or tamp machine would likely have long-term issues in such an arduous environment.
At ALTech, our range of application solutions is second to none. Don’t compromise! Please feel free to contact us for an optimal labelling solution providing inherent reliable operation.
