Industrial Conveyor Print & Apply Labelling for Production Lines

The DB4 automatically prints and applies labels to products moving on a conveyor, handling most pack shapes and sizes with ease.

It is particularly well suited to production environments where:

    • Products run in short batches or multiple SKUs
    • Label information changes frequently
    • Space and budget are limited
    • Reliability and simplicity matter more than extreme speed

Typical applications include:

  • Food & beverage packaging
  • Secondary packaging and outer cases
  • Labelling of large or bulky products, such as panels, boards, cabinets and worktops
  • Furnishing and fit-out samples, including laminate flooring, carpet and surface samples

Real-Time Variable Data Printing & Application

The DB4 print & apply system prints variable information at the point of application, removing the need for pre-printed variable labels and reducing manual handling.

Variable data includes:

    • Use-by or best-before dates
    • Batch and lot numbers
    • Product quantities
    • Barcodes and human-readable text

Print quality supports both direct thermal and thermal transfer printing, with resolutions up to 300 dpi, producing clear, consistent labels across a wide range of materials.

Multi-Orientation Automatic Label Application

The DB5 supports multiple label orientations, allowing it to adapt to different product formats and production layouts:

    • Top apply
    • Bottom apply
    • Side apply
    • Front apply
    • Wraparound application

The system is supplied with optical product detection, a robust support stand and a digital control unit with LCD interface. The label position is adjusted using simple push-button controls, making setup and changeovers quick and repeatable. An integrated labels-applied counter supports basic production monitoring and line oversight.

Stand-Alone Applicator or Fully Integrated Conveyor System
