Label Dispensing
Posted by Fred on 2/8/2019 to
Looking for a fast efficient way to dispense labels?
Label dispensers are simple machines that present a label to an operator. This can be done manually or semi-automatically.
For manual units, the label and liner is routed through channels and when the liner is pulled, the label splits from the liner and can be picked by the operator.
We also offer manual handheld units that are great for mobile operations.
For electric units, the label and liner is routed through the machine, and when turned on, the machine dispenses about half of the label. When the operator takes the label, the machine cycles to place the next label in place. We call this "pick and stick".
