Automatic CN22 Labelling

Dual direct apply labelling solution

This system simultaneously applies both the carrier label and the CN22 label to moving packs. By using dual ICE Vulcan Print and Apply printers, the system is able to apply labels on the bottom and on the top of each pack.

The challenge was to be able to apply 2 labels on each pack where both would not be able to fit on a single face of the pack, whilst also ensuring throughput was uncompromised.

The solution is particularly useful for streamlining a UK based international E-Comm operation. Increasing throughput, improving accuracy, and reducing manual labour cost.

 

Key Features

  • Offering simplicity and reliability, print and apply labelling will no longer be the slowest part of the packaging line
  • Up to three times faster print speeds and no missed packs, even when packs are very closely spaced
  • No tamp applicator or compressed air required, saving costs and potential downtime from maintenance associated with these components
  • Simple mechanical design
  • 80% fewer wear parts, reducing constant ongoing maintenance requirements.
  • Electronic label supply to automatically adjust and maintain tension.
  • Proven clutchless thermal transfer ribbon drive.
  • Compact design and small footprint with simple integration into existing packaging line.
  • Vast label and ribbon capacity, for fewer reel changes.
  • Fully compatible with CLARiSUITE software products.
