Label application or print-and-apply?

Label application controls the position and adhesion of a label on the pack. Print-and-apply combines variable-data label printing, data control and automatic application. Define the pack, label, data and required good output before comparing the machinery.

For a sample trial, provide the pack range, label size and roll specification, required data and label-position or code-readability criteria. Confirm the result with representative samples and a written acceptance test.
