The demands for ever greater productivity within modern manufacturing facilities means that production equipment must provide the highest levels of flexibility and reliability. This requirement extends through all stages of production to the labelling and printing systems that generate the product identification, date coding and traceability information which is an essential element of any production process. Having equipment which can cater for a diverse range of products, each with their own specific marking and labelling requirements is crucial in the drive for ongoing efficiency.

The Alpha Compact system quickly and accurately applies pre-printed labels onto products and packaging in conjunction with various applicator units. The new integrated controller further reduces the space required for this already compact unit.
