Case and Pack Print & Apply | Reliable UAE

Case print and apply systems combine label printing with automatic application on production lines. Explore the APL35s and APL35si range with Reliable for your cases, packs and grouped products. First, share your packaging dimensions, label format and line speed so we can discuss your requirements.

Case print and apply for real-time labelling

The APL35 series from United Barcode Systems prints variable label information and applies labels automatically. For example, applications include boxes, packs, trays and sacks. However, the final equipment configuration must suit the product and its presentation on the line.

Flexible case print and apply positions

The modular range supports top, side, front, rear, corner-wrap and double-panel applications. Therefore, identify the required label position before selecting the applicator. Also, consider where downstream operators or scanners need to read the information.

For an initial review, send a photograph showing the intended label location. In addition, provide the smallest and largest pack sizes. These details help define the space and movement needed around the product.

Application speed and production requirements

Published maximum rates are up to 180 labels per minute with electric application and up to 90 labels per minute with pneumatic application. These figures depend on line speed, integration, application type and label design. Consequently, they do not represent a guaranteed rate for every installation.

Next, share your normal and peak production rates. Also, confirm the number of labels per pack and the gap between products. Together, these requirements provide a more useful basis for sizing the solution than conveyor speed alone.

Connect label data to your workflow

UBS LABMAN provides a route for connecting labelling data with ERP, MES, WMS or database systems. However, each project needs a review of its data sources and interfaces. Therefore, describe where the label information comes from and how it changes between products.

For example, your team may need to select a product record or update variable information for each run. Agree on the data flow before installation. Then, include the required checks in your commissioning plan.

Print engine and configuration choices

The manufacturer lists OEM print-engine options including Zebra and Sato. It also specifies 203 or 300 dpi configurations, depending on the selected printing module. Discuss the label content and print requirements before choosing the engine.

In addition, the brochure lists a 300 mm external reel diameter with a 350 mm option. Control and integration arrangements differ between configurations. As a result, confirm the selected model, HMI and connection requirements in the proposed specification.

For source details, visit the official APL35s and APL35si product page. You can also review the manufacturer’s APL35 series brochure.

Plan your case print and apply application

To begin, send Reliable a short line video and a sample label. Then, include the following details so we can focus the discussion on your actual operation.

  • Product: pack type, dimensions, weight and surface condition.
  • Label: size, material, artwork, variable fields and barcode requirements.
  • Position: application face and number of labels per pack.
  • Line: conveyor height, speed, product spacing and available installation area.
  • Data: source system, connection method and required production signals.

Finally, identify how your team will check the applied label. For example, define acceptable placement and barcode readability. Explore more industrial solutions from Reliable or visit our coding and marking website.

Frequently asked questions

Can the system label different pack faces?

Yes, the range offers several application arrangements. However, the selected applicator and line layout determine the positions available in your installation.

Can it connect to our production software?

Data integration is available through UBS LABMAN. First, share your system and interface requirements so the integration scope can be reviewed.
