By Joe Danyow

To determine which is right for the product to be labeled, it first must be determined which will provide the best presentation and the lowest cost per label. Once this is determined there are many considerations for choosing a labeler that best suits your need.
With today’s ever-changing packaging requirements, it is important to choose a machine thatcan label a variety of container shapes and sizes, as well as a variety of label applications.
