Corner-Wrap Print-and-Apply Labeller

One label across two adjacent sides of the case.

Corner-Wrap Print-and-Apply Labeller
How it works

Built around your product

Retail and logistics standards often require a barcode on two sides. The PA-160 wraps a single 6-inch label around the leading corner so it can be scanned from the front or the side.

A thermal print engine images each label by direct thermal or thermal transfer. In a print-and-apply system the liner is stripped at a peel edge and the label is held on a vacuum pad, then tamped, blown or wiped onto the pack. Servo applicators measure the approach so varying case heights are labelled without crushing.

Key features

  • Two-panel labelling with one applicator
  • All-electric servo arm — no air needed
  • Scanner option with re-apply
  • Handles mixed case sizes

Machine cycle

Process sequence

Receive

Label data arrives from ERP, WMS or the line controller.

Print

The engine prints text, barcodes and graphics at 203–600 dpi.

Peel

The label separates from its liner and transfers to the applicator pad.

Apply

Tamp, blow or wipe-on places the label on the moving pack.

Check

A scanner reads the barcode and flags no-reads.

Questions

Direct thermal or thermal transfer?
Direct thermal needs no ribbon and suits short-life logistics labels. Thermal transfer gives durable, long-life print and works on synthetic labels.
What does a pallet label need to contain?
A GS1 logistics label carries the SSCC in both human-readable form and a GS1-128 barcode, usually on two adjacent sides of the pallet.
Can one applicator handle different case sizes?
Yes. Stroke-sensing tamp applicators adapt to height automatically within their stroke range.
