Logopak has supplied Jersey-based internet mail order specialist Play.Com with three purpose designed labelling systems that allow cartons to be tracked through the final closing and sealing process and then identified automatically for transit with a full size shipping label on the top.
Six Logopak 515T print and apply labelling machines have been installed, two for each of three packing lines. The first creates a tracking label to identify each carton and its contents while it is automatically closed. The second creates the shipping label.
“Unlike systems in which cartons are identified, but then simply put in a registered queue for automatic closing and labelling, the use of a tracking label ensures there is no blind spot in the closing and labelling process,” explains Logopak UK general manager Wilson Clark. “If a carton needs to be removed from the closing machine, perhaps to clear a jam, its identity remains intact, with no risk of mis-labelling,” he says.
