Avery Dennison 81x Label Printer Applicator

Wednesday, 15 May, 2013 | Supplied by: Matthews Australasia Pty Ltd


Using LightSmart technology, the Avery Dennison 81x Label Printer Applicator (LPA) uses a backing-paper-free label material, reducing energy and material use, and therefore waste, for carton, tray and pallet labelling - at a lower total applied cost. The LightSmart label material does not need backing paper, which traditional pressure-sensitive labels do.

Coated on the reverse with a non-tack adhesive, LightSmart labels become sticky through heat activation after the print and cut. The material can even withstand high-temperature warehousing; it only activates in the 81x LPA.

The machine gives manufacturers the flexibility to print different-length labels, because the material is on one roll that can be cut to the desired length, thus maximising material use.

This also lets manufacturers change message lengths ‘on the fly’ so they can create marketing messages or simply change label formats without needing to change the label stock. It also reduces supply SKUs, as only one roll is needed for different label lengths.

Being backing paper free eliminates an entire waste stream - and associated disposal costs - as well as expensive silicones and liner materials, energy and assets from traditional labelling.

The LPA is suitable for secondary packaging such as cartons and shrink trays with content and shipping labels.
