Since Sarco and Actitec have jointly introduced the new printers for printing packing tapes, a number of them have been successfully installed. Although the printer was initially intended for onion packagers, installations have now also been carried out at carrot and potato packhouses. The compact design means the printer casing can easily be built onto multiple types of machines, including ERC, Manter and Pro-Pak machines.
Storage reduction
Users don't have to keep large amounts of tape in all sorts of sizes, weights and other particulars anymore. One standard tape is sufficient. Then you decide, aided by software suite Labelstar, what product information will be included on the tape.
Certainty
An automatic tape alert system stops the packing machine in case, for whatever reason, something goes wrong during printing or feeding the tape into the sewing machine. That way you're certain that no bags will be delivered without tape.
Exporters
The tape printer also provides clear progress for exporters. Fresh produce is, after all, a trade with highs and lows. Tape often has to be bought on an ad hoc basis, which means it could take half a day or an entire day for the packager to start readying the order. With this printer, production can be started right away, because the special tapes for Malaysia, Brazil etc., are also directly printed on the packaging machine. So there are no residues that then have to be thrown away.
Traceability
With this printer, it's also easy to print special fields and codes. For instance, a field that is updated automatically every minute with the current date and time, to create one's own traceability code. Or a serial number that increases automatically. In short, the traceability of your products will be a lot easier with this solution.
