Label Dispenser

Labelling: It is the process of displaying all the packaging information. Its purpose is to showcase clear details about the product that influence the buying decision of the customer. So how do we remove the labels once we don’t need to use the same To streamline the same, there is a product called Label Dispenser which help in removing label from its liner or black tape. Label Dispensers help the entire process of removal of labels really efficient and effective.

There are other benefits of label dispensers other than making the entire process really effective and efficient. Label dispensers help in reduction of the labor cost and consistent label placement for professional product presentation.

There are different kind of label dispensers which include manual label dispenser, semi-automatic label dispenser and label applicators.

Manual label dispensers are those which were patented back in 1920s and are only used manually. In this the operation is done by pulling the liner around the plate or bar which causes the label to peel away. This is not an automatic process

Semi-Automatic Dispensers were first introduced in the 1970s and were primarily used in the bulk mailing houses. On an average the bulk mailing house employee can apply 500 labels per hour but over the years this has increased to 2000 labels. These dispensers advance individual or multiple-row labels and remove them from their lining similar to a manual dispenser, but instead of manually pulling on the liner, label advancement occurs when a trigger on the dispenser detects the absence of a label, such as when the operator removes the label. 

The future of label dispensing technology is expected to see trends such as: 

• Automation

Automation is expected to increase in the label printing industry, with the goal of running fully automated workflows 24 hours a day. This will be driven by the need for shorter print runs, faster turnaround, and greater customization. 

• Integration

Labeling systems are expected to integrate more with other technologies, such as inventory management, warehouse automation, and e-commerce platforms. This will enable seamless information flow across the supply chain. 

• Intelligent packaging

Intelligent packaging will use technologies like QR code stickers, datamatrix codes, and hologram stickers to provide consumers with instant access to product information. 

• 2D barcodes

The use of 2D barcodes for fresh foods, such as vegetables, fish, meat, and cheese, is expected to grow in acceptance with retailers and consumers. 

• UV LED

More label printers are expected to switch to UV LED production sites, driven by the productivity improvements and energy savings that LED brings. 

• Hybrid inkjet and flexo machines

The prevalence of hybrid inkjet and flexo machines is expected to increase further as investments are made in improving these technology platforms
