Label printing, data capture and consumables
The right label, ribbon and printer combination depends on the site. Here are the combinations we ship most often — send us your parameters and we will narrow it down.
Receiving, put-away, picking and shipping all need a label on the spot — media gets changed more often than the printer.
One code follows the part through every process — the label has to survive washing, drying and oil.
Frequent price changes and heavy media consumption — direct thermal keeps it simple, no ribbon to manage.
Small labels, small type, and repeated alcohol wiping that must not lift the print.
The label has to stay put — days at minus twenty, no curling edges and no rubbed-off print.
Common combinations — the final call depends on the substrate, operating temperature and daily volume. Send us the parameters and an engineer will specify the model.
