Print and Apply labelling is a cornerstone of efficient manufacturing and logistics. Effective labelling not only streamlines production but also enhances traceability across your operations. There are numerous Print and Apply labelling solutions available, each offering ease of use, low cost of ownership, and exceptional efficiency.
Print and Apply labelling technology allows you to create and affix labels directly onto products and packaging. These labels can carry a wide array of data, including barcodes, serialised alphanumeric text, 2D codes, and QR codes, ensuring comprehensive traceability and data management.
As a channel partner for Markem-Imaje, Industrial Printer Services Ltd provides cutting-edge Print and Apply technologies designed to enhance your operational efficiency. Utilising Markem-Imaje’s 2200 series, our solutions reduce labour costs, minimise human error, cut down on reruns, and free up time for your team to focus on core business activities.
GS1 compliance is a vital component of effective Print and Apply labelling. In sectors such as FMCG, SSCCs for pallets, and GS1-128 codes for cases are essential for tracking and scanning. This compliance is also critical in the pharmaceutical industry, where item-level serialisation is mandatory. The Markem-Imaje 2200 series fully adheres to GS1 supply chain specifications, ensuring your labels meet industry standards.
The substrate and surface characteristics of your products dictate the labelling technique required. For uneven surfaces, the Markem-Imaje 2200 series offers versatile application methods including Blow and Tamp. The blow method is ideal for fragile or irregularly shaped substrates, while rugged surfaces can be efficiently labelled using a tamp application.
Choosing the right method for label application depends on the size and surface of the label area. Here are the four primary methods:
Blow Method: Fast, easy, and cost-effective, though slightly less precise.
Tamp Method: The most common approach, suitable for most labelling needs.
Tamp and Blow (Combined Approach): Ideal for applying labels to uneven surfaces.
Wipe Method: Best for longer labels that require a smooth application.
The Markem-Imaje 2200 series is designed for seamless integration into various production line configurations, offering flexibility with left- and right-hand versions and adjustable mounting angles.
The Markem-Imaje Print and Apply labelling technology enables diverse label placement options on your products. Labels can be applied to the front, back, top, bottom, sides, or even around corners. Additionally, the system supports the application of multiple labels on a single substrate, offering comprehensive labelling solutions for complex needs.
Integrating Print and Apply technology into your production line requires careful consideration of the available space and the positioning of the product, case, or pallet being labelled. The compact design of our labelling technology ensures it fits into even the smallest production environments.
