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…
For use in secondary foreign markets, a common labelling requirement is to over-label already printed packaging such as pouches, sachets, and cartons. We build many offline feed & labelling systems to provide this function. This example is a machine built for various types of filled sachets. It can feed, label and restack sachets into defined stack quantities to allow…
We are sometimes asked to provide simple automation solutions for other tasks connected to the packaging of products, where it would make sense to complete this in line with labelling. One example is this UK designed and developed, simple lid press/lid sealing machine for tamper-evident Tupperware type container lids, which are difficult to manually apply due to the pressure…
Our combination ALline 3-Roller/Direct Wraparound labelling machine offers total cylindrical product labelling flexibility. Choose the 3-roller application function for best-possible accuracy or rotational registration. Or linear direct wraparound labelling for high-speed application/maximum throughput. All in one machine. #ALTech #Labelling
We recently supplied this high-speed print and apply labelling system for retail magazines, working in line with an automatic feeder and restacking system to apply barcode ID/price point labels for foreign markets. The ALTech solution included (in-house developed) bespoke control software that imported the customer’s data file to send the correct print information, and a barcode scanner to reconcile…
