Specialized digital printing company Primera Technology debuted a new label applicator, the AP380, designed for round or cylindrical containers. Primera is promoting increased speeds and new features on the AP380.
“We are excited to introduce the AP380 Label Applicator, which represents a significant advancement in label application technology,” said Mark D. Strobel, Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “This applicator not only speeds up production rates but also elevates product presentation, a critical factor in driving sales. With the AP380, labels are applied flawlessly and reliably, ensuring a consistent look across every package.”
Speed: Primera says the AP380 moves approximately 30% faster than its AP360/362 label applicators. That is a significant boost in labeling efficiency, allowing for more containers to be labeled per hour.
Features: A rewinder! The waste liner is rewound as the labels are applied to the container. This keeps the waste liner material off of the floor and winds it into a roll for easy disposal. Very handy.
The AP380 uses a mechanical flag switch instead of ultrasonic sensors that must be “trained,” which makes for a more robust and easy-to-use semi-automatic label applicator. Primera’s purpose-built flag switch has been installed in over 38,000 AP-Series applicators and is known for its longevity and reliability with various label types and thicknesses.
The AP380 Label Applicator complements Primera’s comprehensive range of label printing and applicator solutions, including the LX-Series color label printers and AP360/AP550 Label Applicators. It is also compatible with labels produced using various printing methods, such as flexographic, offset, and thermal transfer.
As with all of Primera’s products, AP380 is manufactured in the United States in Plymouth, Minnesota.
