Print and Apply
CAB label applicators are state-of-the-art devices designed to automatically apply labels to products, packaging or components in a variety of industries. Unlike traditional label printers, which require manual operation, CAB applicators integrate the printing and application process in one continuous cycle, significantly increasing efficiency and repeatability.

Printer and label applicator for modern manufacturing
Traditional industrial printers, even the most advanced ones, require manual label application. For many companies, this is no longer enough. More and more companies are reaching for integrated 2-in-1 solutions – devices that print and automatically apply labels without operator intervention. This saves time, costs and increases productivity.
How does the label applicator work?
The automatic label applicator is a system that combines the function of printing with immediate application on a product, carton or pallet. The entire process takes place in real time and does not require the intervention of an employee. Such a solution is perfectly in line with the direction of development of modern plants – full automation of processes.
Where will automatic applicators perform well?
Integrated print and application systems are a solution for companies that focus on efficiency and precision. They will prove themselves in, among other things:
warehouses and logistics centers,
manufacturing plants,
Pharmaceutical, cosmetic and food industries.
Modern applicators can handle a variety of product shapes – from cardboard boxes to semicircular packaging and delicate glassware.
