When it comes to product identification, branding, and compliance marking processes, businesses typically rely on label applicators machines as a solution. But what if there was a better and cheaper way of marking products without incurring label costs, ribbon expenses, or downtime costs? RNJet Inkjet printers could provide this alternative – directly print products.
Introduce RNJet industrial inkjet printers: an efficient solution that lets you print directly onto products while saving time, reducing costs, and contributing positively to the environment.
Traditional Label Applicators Have Unseen Costs
Label applicator machines are widely used across food and beverage, pharmaceutical, cosmetic and logistics industries for automating label placement on products or packaging. Unfortunately, however, this traditional approach has multiple disadvantages that should be taken into consideration:
1. Recurring Material Costs
Labels, adhesives, ribbons and label rolls can be costly expenses on an ongoing basis; not only are they costly but they take up storage space as well. Furthermore, regular reorders need to be placed.
2. Regular Maintenance
Label applicators are mechanical systems. Over time, belts wear out, applicator arms lose calibration, and mislabeling increases. Businesses should devote resources to routine maintenance services including parts replacement and technician visits.
3. Downtime and Errors
A jammed or misaligning label can halt production in its tracks. Line stoppages and troubleshooting waste production time.
4. Environmental Waste
Labels and their backing liners contribute significantly to industrial waste, often ending up in landfills. Misprinted labels, overproduction and adhesive waste also increase your ecological footprint.
5. Limited Flexibility
Redesign your lot number format? Increase expiry dates? Restructure the layout? These changes often necessitate stopping production lines, altering software/hardware configuration, and swapping out label stocks – which all involve significant resources and disruption.

Direct Printing Matters More Now
Today’s businesses are moving toward on-demand manufacturing that’s leaner and wasteless. Labels tend to be inefficient and slow. As consumers seek quicker deliveries with customized packaging options that adhere to eco-friendly practices, direct-to-surface printing has become an invaluable competitive advantage.
With government imposing increasingly stringent environmental guidelines, reducing label waste could also serve to future-proof compliance with environmental standards.
