Primera Technology, Inc., a manufacturer of specialty printers, announced that its new AP550 Label Applicator for flat surfaces is now shipping.

AP550 is a semi-automatic label applicator that makes it fast and easy to precisely apply product and identification labels onto a wide range of flat surfaces such as rectangular or tapered bottles, boxes, packages, bags, pouches, lids, tins, and more. Labels are applied straight, without wrinkles or folds, in exactly the location desired. This gives finished products a professional look and increases the number of containers that can be labeled per hour vs manually applying labels.

Operation is simple: place the container in the mechanism and pull the arm toward the container. Variable spacing, memory for up to nine jobs, and a counter with built-in LED display are all included. No air-pressure supply is required, which can be advantageous compared with other label applicators that require air compressors.

AP550 is the well suited for labels produced by Primera’s popular LX- and CX-Series color label printers and digital label presses. Together, they provide a complete print-and-apply system for a wide range of manufacturers and distributors. Roll- or fan-fed labels printed by other methods such as flexographic, offset, and thermal-transfer can also be applied with the applicator. For round containers such as bottles, cans, and jars, Primera also offers its AP360 and AP362 label applicators.
