We are excited to share with you the next generation of Zebra Technologies industrial print engines – the ZE511 (4″) and ZE521 (6″) machines, just released to the market, and forming the backbone of many future ALTech print and apply solutions. Watch this video for an overview of the many new features of the machines. For the logistics market,…

Our already renowned high-performance ALritma label applicator has just got better! For 2022, we can now offer the machine with what we believe to be the largest full-colour touch screen of any stand-alone label applicator on the market. This new 7″ display provides increased user-friendliness and memory capabilities, Industry 4.0 connectivity, and an innovative SOS support function. Further, this…

Does your outer case box or shrink tray labeller ever miss? If so, it is likely that the products arrived too close together, meaning the tamp/tamp-blow application system could not recover in time. With our fully electric ALcode ‘Vacuum Belt’ print and apply machine, this is rarely a problem, shown here in our archive video cruising at 76 labels/min…

ALcode with Vacuum Belt is also ideally suited to two-face corner wraparound case labelling where labels are inherently long. This is a common request to ensure the label information is visible when the box is palletised. An operation example can be viewed HERE. #ALTech #Printapply #Labelling #Barcode

This retro added tamper-seal labelling solution has provided significant efficiency gains to our premium chocolatier customer, as well as enhancing the packaging appearance with ‘always-consistent’ label positioning. We designed a solution to mount around the customers existing packaging conveyor, and specifically applied the label from the side to allow the side rotated box to be base coded via TIJ…

Two-part cartridges are commonly used with resin adhesives and other similar products from the building trade. They are challenging to label due to their irregular shape and a normal requirement to wrap the label around multiple panels. We have built many ALline labelling systems over the years to meet this challenge, normally based on a ‘U-gate’ application concept. This…

ALline Horizontal provides a precision labelling solution for cylindrical tube products such as pharmaceutical test tubes. This particular machine is supplemented with a Markem-Imaje X45 thermal transfer overprinter for lot and batch code printing on the label before application. #ALTech #Labelling #pharmaceuticalmanufacturing #pharmaceuticalpackaging #labelingmachine

A common outer case labelling requirement is to apply the barcode label on two adjacent faces as a corner wraparound. This helps ensure the label can be read when palletised or stacked in racking. This video shows a recent application for two machines placed inline with an automatic carton erector for a snack bar product. Because labels are inherently…

Placing a round label on a round product is tricky because a ‘half-moon’ placement effect magnifies any inaccuracy. In this application, labelling PTFE tapes, we also need to apply labels into a recess, further increasing the difficulty of the requirement. However, in this economical solution, we are still able to use our entry-level ‘ALstep’ labelling head, which through scale…

If you have or use a front/back labelling system in your business, watch this video and compare it with your current setup times! In real-time, we change over between five different products in seven minutes thanks to our powered automated setup assistant – now a standard option on any configuration of ALline machine (and also available with our many…
