Bagging machines add on shipment data
OneStep bagging machines have 'Print-n-Pack' order fulfilment technology that offers high-quality, pre-printed bags with shipping data directly onto the bag.
Low cost packaging void filling makes no mess
A desktop packaging void-fill system is claimed to be fast and easy-to-use, providing protective air-filled cushions at a rate of 15 linear metres per minute.
The new PI-404i printer uses the latest PrintPro Label Designer software - a Windows based label design program developed to help the user design and print labels containing alphanumeric and text information.
This product data is then transferred via the printer directly onto the pre-formed Autobag polythene bags in a simple one-step 'print-and-pack' operation, saving the cost of a paper label.
APS product manager, Nick Long, said: "We know that by using our existing PrecisionT thermal transfer printer our customers have made considerable savings in terms of time, printing and material costs associated with producing separate labels and headers.
The PI-404i will enable users who only require basic product data, such as text and bar codes rather than graphics to gain the same benefits at a lower cost commitment.
It is ideal for product data, batch, time and date coding." The new printer supports a wide range of bar code types and accepts true type fonts for creating simple, informative and effective labels while maximising production efficiency by eliminating the need for a separate off-line printing process.
Nick Long concluded: "The printer is both flexible and versatile.
It's also productive - capable of printing up to 30 bags/min in-line as part of the packaging process. Request a free brochure from Automated Packaging Systems ...
The introduction of this new printer reflects our commitment to constant product development in line with our customers' needs for new machinery, materials and service offerings - our total systems approach to packaging.".
