THREE TYPES OF LABELLING MACHINES


 There are many differing types of labelling machines. They range from small handheld devices to massive factory items. Some are incredibly inexpensive while others represent a major investment. Let us look at the three most common types of labelling machines. These three machines handle almost every labelling job.
 
 Automatic Label Applicators
 
 Automatic applicator labelling machines are used for high-volume jobs. A conveyor belt moves the item to be labelled into position where it is sensed and a label is applied. If you imagine the kind of massive labelling machines, you may find in a busy factory, you are thinking about automatic applicators.
 
 Semi-Automatic Label Applicators
 
 Semi-automatic labelling machines are often used in a slightly less hectic environment than their fully automatic counterparts are. When semi-automatic machines are used, a person manually positions the item to be labelled and then activates one of the labelling machines. The label is applied mechanically. They are sometimes referred to as “print and apply” labelling machines.
 
 Electrical Dispensers
 
 Labels can be dispensed as necessary using an electric tool before being applied to the product by hand. These dispensers are the least expensive labelling machines and are usually used in relatively low-volume situations or when labels are only occasionally required. By automatically dispensing the next label to be used, they do increase efficiency over using a simple roll of labels.
 
 Automatic, semi-automatic and electrical dispenser labelling machines are probably the three most common types encountered. Almost any labelling job can (and is) handled by one of these systems. Labelling machines are chosen based on the amount of labelling to be done, and the different types of machines are built to handle different workloads.
