Labeling a product is more than just applying a sticker. There are many factors to consider when choosing the right labeling system. Determining the right criteria in advance prevents the labeling system from becoming a bottleneck in your production line.
Of course, there are often situation-specific criteria that come into play when choosing the right labeling system. Criteria that come into play in many cases:
Below you will read a brief explanation for each item.
It probably sounds very obvious. But you will be surprised how often, in practice, people think about all kinds of things, but carefully determining the right label hardly gets any attention.
Another obvious one, but also definitely important to consider carefully.
What degree of flexibility is required of the labeling system? Consider the difference between placing printed labels and labels that need to be printed in real time. In the latter case, there must also be a printer on the labeler.
How easy the labeler should be to operate depends on those who operate it. Should anyone be able to do it or are they individuals who have been trained (internally) to do so?
The amount of space available for the labeler within the production process largely determines how the labeling system can be placed.
The purchase of a labeling system is also a good opportunity to consider the future.
As mentioned, you will get only a brief explanation of the criteria listed here. Automator's Sales Engineers will be happy to look at your specific situation and go through all the choices in detail!
