Automatic tags are automatic. In an automatic labeling machine for bottles and cans, containers are fed from one end, labeled, and then automatically fed to the next machine - there is no need to move bottles or cans from one machine to another, nor to drop labels or sleeves manually. As a result, there is no room for human error and production process problems are eliminated.
Although the initial cost of the automatic labeling machine is high, your final expenditure will be reduced, and the labeling opportunity will recover the cost quickly. You will reduce waste due to improper handling of containers and labels. There will be no downtime for rest, vacation or illness, and your overall speed will be twice or even triple the original speed. The online fully automatic labeling machine is designed to be inserted in place and never leave.
As you may have experienced, manual marking is a difficult process that can cause arthritis. There are instructions on how to obtain good results through manual labeling on the Internet. But fair warning - you may feel a tingle of tendinitis when you read them. It is hard enough to make the pressure sensitive label straight and free of bubbles/tears, let alone hundreds of times in shifts.
Upgrading to semi-automatic labeling machine is a huge upgrade, but it still requires employees to load and unload cans and bottles from the machine. In the case of shrink tubing labelers, they may also have to place the shrink tubing on the container by hand. Compared with manual marking, human error factors are significantly reduced.However, employees may still drop containers, be distracted and miss a step, or simply run slower than the machines in front of and behind the labeling station, resulting in production errors.
To sum up, it is more appropriate to use automatic labeling opportunities.
