Label makers dispense or print labels for various items, with a wide range of models available for different applications and industries. They can be manual or automatic, portable or heavy-duty, and designed for personal or professional use. Mid-range options are available for home business owners.
A label maker is used to dispense or apply labels to various items, products, containers or packages. Some label makers are used not only to dispense or apply labels, but also to print them. There is a wide range of labellers on the market, ranging from high production units that allow complete automation of the printing and application process, to manual devices that allow simple label dispensing.
Some label makers are designed to apply labels to specific items or products, while others are designed for use with a wide variety of packages, containers and products. There are numerous models currently on the market, made by various manufacturers. With so many different types available, you can find the right label maker for virtually any application. One company may use a label maker to apply shipping addresses and product information, while another may use one to apply barcodes and prices. Some companies use specialty labeling machines that can apply or dispense a variety of label types.
Labellers are used in an amazing range of industries, from cosmetics, gifts and mail order to agriculture, electronics and pharmaceuticals. Some companies use small, portable and easily transported label makers. Others require heavy-duty label maker equipment, capable of dispensing and applying labels automatically without operator assistance. An automatic labeling machine of this type could consist of a special label applicator, a conveyor that moves products and packages, and an integrated control system. Because this type or label maker can be quite large, it is often used by larger companies with a significant amount of available space.
In addition to label makers intended for professional use, there are label makers designed for personal use. Some of these label makers are designed to add address labels to envelopes and packages, while others are made to label compact discs (CDs), digital video discs (DVDs), and videos. There are also label makers designed for making name badges and filing system labels. In general, a personal label maker is likely to cost less than one designed for business use.
A home business owner may want a label maker that is a little more sophisticated than one designed for personal use, but less complicated or expensive than the average business model. Luckily, there are plenty of mid-range label makers that meet the needs of the average home business owner. Additionally, there are some personal units that fit the bill for both home and business use.
