Automated label printing and application
Printing and applying labels automatically during production is a good solution when you want to avoid unnecessary steps. With automated application solutions, product labelling can be done efficiently, consistently and accurately. Automation frees up time and resources for other tasks in production, which also means that payback periods for solutions are typically very short. There are various labelling equipment and application methods available, and the specific requirements of the product and line should always be considered when choosing your solution.
The application equipment must be suitable for the production or packaging line in terms of capacity and usability. Applicators increasingly come with verifiers that can check the quality of barcodes, text readability and accuracy of the content, as well as the positioning and adhesion of the label.
Labelling methods include feeding the label directly onto the passing product, tamp application, as well as wipe and blow application, among others. Labelling is possible on all sides of the product: on the bottom, wrapped around the corner, etc. The techniques used for pallet labelling are primarily the same, but compared to the equipment used for labelling products and groups of products, certain specific features are required of pallet labelling equipment, such as larger label sizes and longer reach of the applicator.

Markem-Imaje eTouch-S
A winning labelling system!
Markem-Imaje’s new eTouch-S won the PPMA Award for Innovative Packaging Machinery last year. The award recognises the best innovations in the packaging industry.
eTouch-S is a print and apply labelling system that has been designed in response to customer needs to reduce the environmental impact of labelling and improve occupational safety. It makes the label application process easier. The system’s easy-to-use touch screen interface makes operation quick and effortless. You can easily adjust and manage the applicator’s functions, saving time and reducing human error.
The applicator’s accuracy is second to none. It ensures that each label is applied precisely to the desired location. Thanks to its fast operation, you can apply a large number of labels in a short time, making production more efficient.
The most common way to apply a label is by touch. It is a good solution for most production lines and packaging needs. Blow is a non-contact application method that works best for fragile, soft and curved packages, and the combined touch-blow method is ideal for uneven surfaces. The advantage of the wipe method is that the label can be applied to the approaching end and/or side of the package with the same machine.
eTouch-S is particularly well-suited for delicate, soft and curved packages and products.
