Labeling & Print-and-Apply Equipment
Apply preprinted labels to cards, mailpieces, envelopes, flat cartons, pouches, packages, and other flat products using modular label heads and transport-based production systems.
These systems can operate as standalone labeling platforms or connect with feeders, transport bases, verification, and other production equipment.
Explore Labeling & Print-and-Apply SolutionsKirk-Rudy contributes modular label heads and transport-based platforms, while Pineberry integrates application-specific flat-product systems.
Modular label heads and production transports configured for flat products and connected production lines.
Kirk-Rudy
A modular production label applicator for preprinted labels that can be mounted on Kirk-Rudy bases or configured within compatible custom applications.
Kirk-Rudy
A complete production-labeling platform that combines a Kirk-Rudy transport base with a modular label head for flat products and connected production lines.
Application-specific systems combining feeding, transport, and label application for flat and semi-flat packaging.
Pineberry
Pineberry-integrated systems for feeding and labeling flat cartons, envelopes, pouches, bags, cards, and other flat or semi-flat products.
Representative applications: flat-carton labeling, envelope labeling, bag and pouch labeling, excise- and tax-stamp application, shuttle-feeder labeling systems.
Pineberry systems may combine friction feeders, conveyors, label applicators, sensors, cameras, and other components based on the application.
Five areas usually decide whether a label head alone is sufficient or a complete transport-based system is required.
Evaluate the material, thickness, stiffness, and whether the piece stays flat as it moves. Curled, bowed, or flexible items need more control beneath the label head.
Determine whether pieces are already separated on a line or must be fed individually from a stack, and how reliably the material can be singulated.
Confirm label size, roll construction, the number of labels per piece, and how tightly placement must be held on each product.
Review the required throughput along with the gap between pieces, since the applicator must complete its cycle within the available window.
Consider the transport base, downstream equipment, and whether scanning, camera verification, or production data must be part of the process.
Review dedicated systems when the item is a bottle, jar, vial, tub, or other rigid container rather than a flat product.
Explore Product & Container Labeling SystemsConsider print-and-apply when the label content changes from piece to piece rather than arriving preprinted.

Explore Service & SupportA modular label applicator is a label head that dispenses and applies preprinted pressure-sensitive labels without being tied to one dedicated product-labeling machine. It can be mounted on a transport base, feeder, conveyor, or compatible production equipment so the labeling function is added where it is needed.
In many applications it can. The evaluation covers available mounting space, how the product is held and moved beneath the head, the trigger signal, line speed and product gap, label size, and whether the surrounding equipment can maintain consistent presentation.
Cards, mailpieces, envelopes, folded pieces, flat cartons, pouches, bags, and similar flat or semi-flat items are common. The practical limits depend on the material, thickness, flatness, and how reliably individual pieces can be separated and transported.
Useful details include product samples or dimensions, material and thickness, label size and placement, required throughput, existing feeders or transports, available floor space, and any verification, scanning, or data requirements.
Describe the product, the label, and the equipment already on the line, and ATP can help determine whether a label head, a transport-based platform, or an integrated system fits.
