4PL - Print & Apply
Highest functionality
When labels land fully automatically exactly where they belong - then our Print & Apply system is behind it. Whether products, packaging or entire pallets: The 4PL system combines a powerful printer with a precise applicator and applies labels exactly where they are needed. The result? Thanks to a label roll circumference of up to 400 mm and a print speed of an impressive 457 mm/s, your production runs at full speed - with fewer roll changes and more output. The modular system is infinitely expandable: applicators, printing units and connection - everything adapts flexibly to your requirements. The interchangeable print head, brilliant 600 dpi resolution and future-proof technologies ensure razor-sharp labels.
