Labeling & Print-and-Apply
Improve label placement, reduce manual handling, and support changing product or shipping data with automated labeling solutions built around your product, package, line speed, and workflow.
ATP Equipment Solutions helps businesses evaluate automatic label applicators, print-and-apply systems, case labeling, and pallet labeling for standalone or integrated production environments.
The right system depends on whether the label is already printed, whether the content changes during production, and where the label must be applied.
Automatically apply preprinted branding, product, informational, or barcode labels to containers, cartons, trays, and other packages.
Best suited to applications where the label content is created before the roll is loaded onto the machine.
Print variable information such as barcodes, shipping data, product identifiers, serial numbers, or order information, then apply the label as part of the same process.
Best suited to applications where label content changes by product, case, order, shipment, or pallet.
Apply identification, routing, shipping, and logistics labels to corrugated cases and pallet loads as they move through end-of-line operations.
These systems may connect with conveyors, scanners, warehouse data, and other production equipment when required.
Labeling requirements change as products move through packaging, production, storage, and distribution. ATP helps match the equipment to the item being labeled and the role the label plays in the workflow.
Apply branding, product information, instructions, or barcodes to bottles, jars, cans, tubs, cartons, and other supported products.
Apply labels to trays, boxes, bags, shrink-wrapped packages, and other secondary packaging formats.
Print and apply order, routing, product, or barcode labels to corrugated shipping cases.
Apply identification, shipping, inventory, or routing labels to completed pallet loads.
The appropriate labeling system is based on the complete application, not simply the advertised machine speed.
Evaluate the dimensions, shape, surface, stability, and how the item moves through production.
Confirm the label size, material, adhesive, orientation, and whether it must be applied to the top, side, bottom, wraparound surface, corner, case, or pallet.
Determine how quickly products move, how often label information changes, and whether labels are preprinted or generated on demand.
Review conveyors, packaging equipment, scanners, cameras, production data, inspection requirements, and available installation space.
ATP uses this information to help identify whether the application requires a semi-automatic labeler, an automatic applicator, a print-and-apply system, or a more integrated labeling approach.

Explore Integrated SystemsA label applicator applies labels that were printed before being loaded onto the machine. A print-and-apply system prints changing information onto a label and then applies that label as part of the same process.
In many applications, a labeling system can be added to an existing conveyor or packaging line. Available space, product movement, line speed, controls, sensors, and surrounding equipment must be reviewed first.
Different applications often require different equipment or configurations. Product labeling, case labeling, and pallet labeling involve different product sizes, application distances, label placements, and production requirements.
Helpful information includes product dimensions, surface material, label samples, label size, required placement, production speed, variable-data requirements, current equipment, available space, and photographs or video of the application.
