Glossary

A label applicator is a machine or device used in the adhesive label industry to automatically apply labels onto various products, packaging, or containers. It streamlines the labelling process, making it more efficient and accurate compared to manual labelling. LabelAn adhesive Label is consists of four layers: topcoat, facestock, adhesive, and liner that is cut into desired shapes More applicators are commonly used in industries such as manufacturing, packaging, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, logistics, and more.

LabelAn adhesive Label is consists of four layers: topcoat, facestock, adhesive, and liner that is cut into desired shapes More applicators come in various forms, ranging from simple handheld devices to sophisticated automated systems. Some common types of label applicators include:

1. Manual Handheld Applicators: These are handheld devices that allow an operator to manually place and apply labels onto products or packages. They are suitable for smaller-scale operations where automation is not necessary or cost-effective.
2. Semi-Automatic LabelAn adhesive Label is consists of four layers: topcoat, facestock, adhesive, and liner that is cut into desired shapes More Applicators: These machines require some manual input but automate certain aspects of the labelling process. An operator typically loads products onto the machine’s conveyor or feed system, and the machine then applies the labels.
3. Fully Automatic LabelAn adhesive Label is consists of four layers: topcoat, facestock, adhesive, and liner that is cut into desired shapes More Applicators: These advanced machines are capable of handling large volumes of products and labels with minimal operator intervention. They often include features like automatic label feeding, precise label placement, and integration with other production line machinery.
4. Wraparound LabelAn adhesive Label is consists of four layers: topcoat, facestock, adhesive, and liner that is cut into desired shapes More Applicators: These applicators are designed to apply labels around cylindrical products such as bottles, cans, and jars. They ensure the label is accurately placed and aligned around the curved surface.
5. Top and Bottom LabelAn adhesive Label is consists of four layers: topcoat, facestock, adhesive, and liner that is cut into desired shapes More Applicators: These machines apply labels to both the top and bottom surfaces of products as they pass through the labelling process. They are commonly used for labelling flat or rectangular items.
6. Print and Apply LabelAn adhesive Label is consists of four layers: topcoat, facestock, adhesive, and liner that is cut into desired shapes More Applicators: These systems can print information (such as barcodes, dates, or variable data) onto labels in real-time before applying them to products. They are often used for high-speed packaging and labelling operations.
7. Pressure-Sensitive LabelAn adhesive Label is consists of four layers: topcoat, facestock, adhesive, and liner that is cut into desired shapes More Applicators: These applicators are designed to apply pressure-sensitive labels, which adhere to surfaces when pressure is applied. This is a common method in the adhesive label industry.

LabelAn adhesive Label is consists of four layers: topcoat, facestock, adhesive, and liner that is cut into desired shapes More applicators play a crucial role in ensuring consistent and accurate labeling of products, which is essential for branding, product identification, regulatory compliance, and consumer safety. The choice of a label applicator depends on factors such as the type of products being labeled, production volume, labeling accuracy requirements, and the level of automation desired.

We stock a small range of semi-automatic (desktop) applicators, and also have applicator manufacturing contacts and would be happy to help.
