In the dynamic world of pet food packaging, efficiency and accuracy in labeling can significantly impact productivity and brand perception. 

PaladinID’s semi-automatic labelers offer an optimal solution for businesses looking to upgrade from hand labeling to a more streamlined, automated process. 

This post explores the benefits of using a semi-automatic label applicator in your dog treat packaging line, featuring cutting-edge options like 4 color process labels and labels with deadened adhesive.

The Problem: We had a customer approach us that was hand labeling their products, in this case it was dog treats by hand. They were labeling 2 treats a minute. They thought there must be a better way.

The Solution: They came to us to see what we could do. Although there was not a machine specifically designed for their application, we took one standard machine, label dispenser and married it up to a custom label wrap machine for a total solution. 

As you can see by the video that the labels are not touched by the worker, are straight and they can label up to 12 products a minute. 

The customer was thrilled and ordered 4 more machines.
