Are you looking for a way to boost your productivity and accuracy in labeling your products? Check out our Automatic Label Applicators at Universal Labeling Systems. We are the leading manufacturer of pressure-sensitive labeling machinery, engineering labeling solutions in the USA since 1984. We design and build custom, made-to-order labeling machines that can suit any application and budget.

What are Automatic Label Applicators?

Automatic Label Applicators are machines that can quickly and precisely apply pre-printed pressure-sensitive labels to various types of products and packages. They can handle different sizes and shapes of labels and products, such as cartons, pouches, clamshells, bottles, cans or boxes. They can also apply labels to different sides or corners of the products, such as top, bottom, front, back or wrap-around.

Automatic Label Applicators come in three basic varieties:

Tamp-Blow Labeling in which the tamp head is in close proximity with a continuous or intermittently moving product. This automatic label applicator dispenses the label onto a vacuum head and then a tamp cylinder moves near the product, then a blast of air releases the label onto product. Tamp-blow automatic label applicators are used when the label wind is perpendicular to the product in motion, when a product is momentarily stationary, and when contact with the product is not acceptable.

What are the benefits of Automatic Label Applicators?

Automatic Label Applicators have many advantages over manual or hand-apply methods of labeling. Here are some of the benefits of using our Automatic Label Applicators:

Faster production: Our Automatic Label Applicators can label products from 20-250 products per minute, depending on the model. This means you can label more products in less time and increase your output and efficiency.
Higher accuracy: Our Automatic Label Applicators can apply labels with exceptional placement accuracy, up to ±0.01 inch. This means you can avoid misaligned, crooked, or wrinkled labels that can damage your brand image and customer satisfaction.
Lower costs: Our Automatic Label Applicators can save you money on labor, materials and energy. By reducing the need for manual labor, you can lower your payroll expenses and free up your workers for other tasks. By using less label material, you can reduce your waste and inventory costs. By using all-electric models, you can eliminate the need for shop air and reduce your energy consumption.
Greater flexibility: Our Automatic Label Applicators can handle various sizes and shapes of labels and products with the same machine. You can also choose from different methods of application, such as wipe-on, tamp or , tamp-blow, depending on your product characteristics and requirements. You can also adjust the settings and monitor the status of the machine remotely with a touch-screen interface or a remote access feature.
