How a Label Applicator Machine Can Keep Your Business Moving Forward

Momentum and growth are key goals in any business operation. As your business grows reevaluating systems and equipment needs is essential. What worked for you a year ago, or even just in the idea phase, may not be right at this point. Remaining open to the possibility of better systems and higher productivity are crucial. Purchasing a labeling machine for your production and manufacturing oriented company will move your business forward by leaps and bounds. The added efficiency, increased production, and time saving possibilities can’t be overstated. Work smarter, not harder, right? Finding the right label applicator machine for your business will help you do just that.

Efficiency As You Grow 

Most likely, you and your team pride yourselves on efficiency. You work quickly and effectively, and generally operate in sync with each other. It’s amazing when you hit that sweet spot with a team, especially in a product based business that involves manufacturing a product. BUT, there comes a point of diminishing returns. Humans can only move so fast, and the days of hand labeling as a cost saving measure can’t last forever. No matter how productive, efficient, and professional you and your team are, there's a point where keeping up may become a problem. Ultimately your output is limited by the speed at which you can package your product and get it to market. Labeling (printing and the application process) becomes a major challenge for most manufacturers at some point in their growth process. 

Growth pains don’t have to mean frustrated employees, and stunted growth for your business, though. Investing in equipment that will provide you with the opportunity to continue moving forward, increasing your output, and spending more time doing what you really need to be doing is priceless. Okay, okay, so it may not feel priceless when you’re forking over money for said new equipment, but the good news is that labeling equipment comes in a range of prices and sizes, so you can find something that will fit your budget and your space. The addition of efficient labeling equipment can dramatically increase productivity and output, and will pay for itself quickly by ramping up your output immediately.

Increasing Productivity 

Adding one tabletop or semi-automatic labeling machine to your business can increase productivity by almost 500%. That means up to 150 products per hour can be labeled. Think about the possibilities this opens. You might even be able to respond to emails for once. These smaller labeler machines are more affordable than their larger counterparts, and are a great solution for new or smaller manufacturers as they have a fairly insignificant footprint in your space. Fully-automatic in-line labeling machines are physically larger and a bit more expensive, but they’re a great investment for growing manufacturing companies as you’ll be able to label up to 500 bottles per hour. The ability to fill more products without getting backed up in the labeling stage is invaluable. The increased amount of products leaving the warehouse and hitting store shelves will quickly justify your investment. 

Who doesn’t want increased productivity and sales? But choosing the right new equipment can be daunting. There’s a lot out there, and it’s important to make sure you’re not only reactively purchasing equipment, but actually strategically investing in your business’s future.
