daveflintstone Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Does anyone use a handheld or otherwise label applicator to apply labels to your cardboard cartons? I need to apply a UPC and a flavor label to my pre-printed cartons, one on each side, and am looking for the easiest method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott @ Twenty2Vodka Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 I gotta congratulate you on your volume if "by hand" for your cartons has grown too tedious. We haven't graduated to that point yet. -Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accutek Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Hey Dave, No such thing (that I've seen) as a hand held label applicator. The closest thing I can think of is a label dispenser - the unit dispenses one label at a time and when you remove the label that is ready, it spits out and separates from the backing the next label. We are not the manufacturer of this machine but I have only heard positive things about them: http://www.take-a-label.com/label-dispensers/semi-automatic/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveflintstone Posted January 7, 2011 Author Share Posted January 7, 2011 I've seen these online, they are only about $80. I'm just curious what others may be using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accutek Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Dave, Looks like an old price gun dispenser. If you had a longer label I guess you could pull the trigger multiple times until it the dispense length was appropriate - unless that is an adjustment I can't see in any of their videos.

Beauport Bob Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Idea, If you have an applicator for you bottles, like a Race Jr. Just hand peel from it? Otherwise if volume dictates, investigate a hand held ink jet printer. Perhaps asking GS1US (barcode people) what they would advise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is exactly that - if the label is longer than the specs of the applicator, you squeeze the trigger again. "Otherwise if volume dictates, investigate a hand held ink jet printer.
