ALcode with ‘air-blast’ applicator is an ideal print and apply solution for bakery products, as demonstrated in this recent video. Like all ALcode machines, the solution offers the ability to change the label data at the touch of a button (e.g. for short batch runs), combined with a non-contact application compatible with the delicate nature of the product, including…

A shortage of sunflower oil and the profound effect this could have on the food industry is currently dominating the news; see BBC NEWS for further details. In 2020 we supplied this non-stop ALline labelling system to ADM in Erith (featured in the above article) to label large bottles of sunflower oil, which present the difficult combination to handle…

This retro added tamper-seal labelling solution has provided significant efficiency gains to our premium chocolatier customer, as well as enhancing the packaging appearance with ‘always-consistent’ label positioning. We designed a solution to mount around the customers existing packaging conveyor, and specifically applied the label from the side to allow the side rotated box to be base coded via TIJ…

Two-part cartridges are commonly used with resin adhesives and other similar products from the building trade. They are challenging to label due to their irregular shape and a normal requirement to wrap the label around multiple panels. We have built many ALline labelling systems over the years to meet this challenge, normally based on a ‘U-gate’ application concept. This…

ALline Horizontal provides a precision labelling solution for cylindrical tube products such as pharmaceutical test tubes. This particular machine is supplemented with a Markem-Imaje X45 thermal transfer overprinter for lot and batch code printing on the label before application. #ALTech #Labelling #pharmaceuticalmanufacturing #pharmaceuticalpackaging #labelingmachine

A common outer case labelling requirement is to apply the barcode label on two adjacent faces as a corner wraparound. This helps ensure the label can be read when palletised or stacked in racking. This video shows a recent application for two machines placed inline with an automatic carton erector for a snack bar product. Because labels are inherently…

Placing a round label on a round product is tricky because a ‘half-moon’ placement effect magnifies any inaccuracy. In this application, labelling PTFE tapes, we also need to apply labels into a recess, further increasing the difficulty of the requirement. However, in this economical solution, we are still able to use our entry-level ‘ALstep’ labelling head, which through scale…
