GS1 compliance is a crucial aspect of Print and Apply labelling. For example, in the FMCG sector, Serial Shipping Container Codes (SSCCs) for pallets, and GS1-128 codes for cases, need to be applied and read and scanned successfully. This is also becoming increasingly important in the Pharmaceutical industry where item level serialisation means that Print and Apply labelling technologies are now even more important. Markem-Imaje’s 2200 series Print and Apply labellers meet the full GS1 supply chain specifications.
Depending on the substrate you wish to apply your labels you’ll need to use different techniques. If your surface is uneven it certainly creates issues, but the Markem-Imaje 2200 series Print and Apply labeller offers a range of application methods. Blow and Tamp methods can be used, the blow method is best for fragile or odd shaped substrates. Rugged surfaces can be labelled by using a press on pad called a tamp application.
The size of the label is measured by width and length, and it is important to check and identify the size of the label needed in terms of the space available. Secondly, think about the application that suits your circumstances and substrate the best. There are four methods:
The Markem-Imaje 2200 series is designed to integrate into diverse production line layouts, with left- and right-hand versions, and can be mounted at different angles. This means you are empowered by flexibility and integration into your manufacturing environment.
The Markem-Imaje Print and Apply labelling technology that we supply here at Industrial Printer Services Ltd is made to offer multiple options for where the label can be placed on the product. The labels can be printed and applied to the front, back, top, bottom, side or over corners. They also offer the ability to apply multiple labels on a single substrate.
The integration of Print and Apply technology with your production line is a crucial consideration. The labeller will need to accommodate the location of the product, case or pallet that is being labelled as it passes through. Not only that, it must be small enough to fit into the available physical space on your production line.
The Print and Apply technology that we supply here at Industrial Printer Services Ltd has been designed to work efficiently in the smallest of production environments. With a site visit to assess your production line, define your requirements and check the factory environment ensures the optimum print and apply labelling solution is installed.
