\/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p><strong>The proof is in the pudding <\/strong>\ud83c\udf70<\/p>\n<p>A new machine is just completing workshop testing for an existing customer \u2014 a dessert manufacturer who asked us to build them a repeat case labelling system.<\/p>\n<p>But this time, we decided to go one better.<\/p>\n<p>The customer applies large labels with a lot of printed information, making the application ideally suited to a<a href=\"https:\/\/www.altech-uk.com\/index\/labellers-print-and-apply\/label-print-and-apply\"><strong> batch print<\/strong>&#8211;<strong>and<\/strong>&#8211;<strong>apply <\/strong><\/a>process.<\/p>\n<p>Rather than forcing the printer to print every label in a one-to-one cycle at the point of application, the system can print between applications as well as during the application cycle.<\/p>\n<p>That allows a more conservative print speed, improved print quality, less mechanical stress and much lower real-world maintenance than a typical one-to-one print and apply solution.<\/p>\n<p>On the original machine, the intended process was to apply labels to the side and then the trailing face of the case.<\/p>\n<p>However, legacy pre-printed label stock was orientated the opposite way, meaning we had to adapt the sequence to label the front and then the side instead.<\/p>\n<p>It worked, but we never felt it was the most refined way to run the process.<\/p>\n<p>So, when the customer asked us for a new machine, we added<strong> dual functionality.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As shown in the video, the operator can select:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022<strong> Side and rear<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2022<strong> Front and side<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2022<strong> Side only<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>That gives the customer flexibility for different label stocks, case requirements and production needs \u2014 without being locked into one fixed configuration.<\/p>\n<p>The flexibility provided is not only mechanical.<\/p>\n<p>This machine also shows our mini-management concept: taking the control platform of a standard<a href=\"https:\/\/www.altech-uk.com\/labellers-label-applicators\/alritma-label-applicator\"><strong> ALritma <\/strong><\/a>labelling head and expanding it to manage<\/p>\n<p>the wider machine operation.<\/p>\n<p>That gives the operator a simple interface while allowing the system to control operating modes, application sequences and process logic.<\/p>\n<p>A repeat machine does not have to mean a repeat solution.<\/p>\n<p>We looked at the previous installation, understood the compromise, and used the opportunity to improve it.<\/p>\n<p>So, excuse the pun, but this machine really does make a strong case for itself.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Select. Print. Apply. Adapt.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>All in one flexible case labelling solution.<\/p>\n<p>#CaseLabelling #PrintAndApply #CaseLabeller #BoxLabelling #OuterCaseLabelling #BatchPrinting #AutomaticLabelling #PackagingAutomation #EndOfLineAutomation #FoodManufacturing #ALritma #ALTechUK<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 1280px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><!--[if lt IE 9]><script>document.createElement('video');<\/script><![endif]-->\n<video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-3730-1\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" loop autoplay muted preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/www.altech-uk.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/linkedin-import-7490864229873397760.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.altech-uk.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/linkedin-import-7490864229873397760.mp4\">https:\/\/www.altech-uk.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/linkedin-import-7490864229873397760.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"text-justify\"><p>The proof is in the pudding \ud83c\udf70 A new machine is just completing workshop testing for an existing customer \u2014 a dessert manufacturer who asked us to build them a repeat case labelling system.
