Primera launches applicator and marking system

LP130e enables fast, in-house production of labels and tags for use in a wide range of severe and harsh-duty applications, including IUID program labels, UDI labels for medical devices and healthcare equipment, automobile VIN and under-hood part number, warning and instruction labels, aerospace and solar panel labels, serial tags for outdoor equipment, automobile parts, building materials and more. Finished labels and tags are said to be extremely robust and do not require lamination to withstand extended exposure to UV light, chemicals, liquids and temperatures of up to 300 deg C.

AP550e is a new semi-automatic label applicator that makes it ‘fast and easy’ to precisely apply product and identification labels onto a wide range of flat surfaces. Labels are applied straight, without wrinkles or folds, in exactly the location desired. This gives finished products a highly professional look and significantly increases the number of containers that can be labeled per hour versus manually applying labels.

AP550e is pitched as a suitable accessory for labels produced by Primera’s LX- and CX-Series color label printers and digital label presses.

In addition Primera’s label combos, the CX1000e/FX1000e and the X1200e/FX1200e, were presented at the manufacturer’s stand.

Utilizing Primera’s patent-pending QuadraCut technology, virtually any size and shape of label can be produced including complicated contour cuts, without the need to purchase expensive rotary or flat dies.

Primera offers a variety of materials such as normal paper in glossy or matte and polyester in white, silver or clear. Primera recently introduced its new Vintage Paper Material, which is suitable for wine and other high-end food and beverage applications, and is available for LX-series Label Printers and CX-series Digital Label Presses.
