Welcome to the Moon!
label dispensers and applicators decrease your labeling time
Label Dispenser - Hands you your next label
A label dispenser can literally cut your labeling time in half. The amount of time spent picking up your label and peeling it off the liner equates to about half of time, and if you're applying a lot of labels, it's nice to be able to zoom through the process.
The model shown here is under $175.
Label Applicator - Applies your label for you
Where a label dispenser makes labeling twice as fast as using no tool at all, a label applicator is more than twice as fast as a dispenser.
Simply put on the labels you want to apply, set your bottle or jar on the guide and press the peddle. Set it aside and next one up.
Another benefit of using and applicator such as this is that it puts your labels on straight and in the same location consistently.
If you are doing thousands of bottles at a time, there will come a point where getting a fully automated conveyor application system will be worth the investment, as it will make it possible to do in the tune of 60 items per minute.
If you're doing hundreds of round containers at a time, this is for you. Flat application models also available.
The model shown here is about $2,800.
