RTL - real time label print and apply system The RTL labelling system forms the platform for a wide range of our print and apply labelling systems available as standard build products, or customised to suit specialised requirements. These heavy-duty industrialised label applicators are available to apply labels to the top, side, front, front/side combinations and even the bottom of products. Both standard and wide print width models are available allowing labels up to 170mm wide to be printed. As well as being ideal for long repetitive product identification, the RTL's Real Time (no label queue) design allows approaching product to be automatically identified and uniquely labelled for Real Time identification.

The RTL (like our other label print and apply systems) can be supplied with an integrated Barcode Checker. This aid to quality control can check for an applied barcode label, check the barcode reads correctly and can even confirm that the barcode label contains the correct information for the product
