Semi-Automatic label applicators are the best option for small- to mid- sized operations where you may not have a complete conveyor system, but you want to improve efficiency.
Fully automatic label applicators work in short- or long- runs where efficiency is a requirement along your conveyor system - assembly, shipping, inventory, etc.
Your go-to labeling system for any application: product labeling, cross docking, shipping labeling, pallet labeling, or custom solution. Made in the USA and built to last, your everyday workhorse.
LabelPack Automation can not only help you choose a label printing and application system, but we can create a custom solution to all of your labeling and printing needs.
Let us help you find the right applicator for the job. What type of product are you trying to label?
Print engines are rugged, reliable printers that perform with minimal down time in high speed, high throughput environments. They are built to withstand the harshest environments to keep your mission critical operations going without interruption.
Industrial printers are durable, easily accessible, and easy to use. These printers keep your operations running efficiently, and offer flexibility when it comes to configuration to best suit your operation's needs. They are long-lasting and require low maintenance, which means rare downtime.
Quality printing, productivity, and flexibility are key features of the desktop series. The compact size makes them ideal for workstations with space restrictions. Available in thermal transfer, direct thermal, healthcare, and RFID models.

What label automation means to your bottom line.
Many companies rely on manual labor to apply labels to cartons coming off of the production line. They could be running one to three shifts and perhaps multiple lines. All and all, it’s a significant amount of manpower.
Employing a person who stands at the end of the production line all day putting labels on a box can lead to inconsistent label placement and is very expensive in the long term.
Cost Analysis of Manpower vs Label Automation
Cost of Manpower
Let’s look at a simple scenario that deals with label application at the end of a production line.
For this example, we will assume your employees are working at a minimum wage of $7.25 / hour. Payroll taxes are 10%. As part of your employment package, you give them:
We will use this information to roughly calculate your per employee cost.
When we take into account employee paid time off, we are looking at about $9.56 per hour. This gives us a strong point of reference to compare the benefits of automation.
Cost of Automation
We need to do a similar analysis for our automation system. To do that, we need to know a few things about our production.
Our Production Line Scenario is:
With the above information, we can plug in some estimated numbers for our potential print and apply labeling system. Let’s assume you got a quote and, after some due diligence, came up with the following numbers:
A new system is costing you about $24,000 with expected routine maintenance of $1500.00. Our 7% downtime includes unexpected repairs, scheduled maintenance and reloading labels, ribbons, etc.
Summary
With all the above information, our actual hourly cost of manpower is $9.56 vs $1.63 per hour of automation from our print and apply system. This is a significant savings!
That’s $126.83 difference over 2 eight hour shifts per day, $634 savings per week and $32,975 per year! Automation really shines when you look at the long term. While there is a significant investment up front, once it is made, the cost over time falls dramatically.
