Print and Apply Automation | BoxLogix

Technology Benefits

Print and apply labeling systems are essential for modern distribution and manufacturing environments, ensuring products are identified, tracked, and shipped with accuracy and speed. By automating labeling directly on cases, totes, or pallets, these systems eliminate manual steps, reduce errors, and support compliance with retailer and regulatory requirements. Print and apply solutions help streamline order fulfillment, improve traceability, and keep operations moving efficiently.

Accuracy and Compliance: Automated labeling ensures correct placement and readable labels, reducing errors and meeting industry or customer standards.
Efficiency: Speeds up packaging and shipping processes by integrating labeling directly into conveyor or production lines.
Flexibility: Can be configured to print and apply labels for cases, pallets, or custom packaging, adapting to changing operational needs.
Reliability: Consistent, automated labeling reduces downtime associated with manual processes and ensures high system uptime.
Cost Savings: Minimizes labor requirements, prevents mislabeling fines, and improves throughput, leading to long-term savings.

Considerations

Label Materials

The type and quality of label stock and ribbons directly impact print performance, durability, and long-term operating costs.

Label Placement and Orientation

The location and consistency of label placement (case, tote, or pallet) must align with downstream scanning, compliance, and customer requirements.

Throughput and Line Speed

The system should match or exceed conveyor speeds and production rates to prevent bottlenecks and maintain operational flow.

Customization

Choosing the right system depends on your label format, product mix, and throughput requirements.

Environmental Conditions

Dust, temperature, humidity, or freezer environments can affect print quality and label adhesion. Choose hardware and label stock suited to your conditions.
