LIFE CHANGING!!!
We manufacture beverages, so label application is very important to the success of our products. The AP360 was great hand label application device that got us through our start up times. However the additional steps of dealing with the plastic used after the label was applied was definite choke point. The AP380 is LIFE CHANGING we recently updated to it and our label application speed is 3x faster. I would recommend upgrading to the AP380 to anyone who uses any label application unit especially if your still using the AP360.

We Have 3 Primera Products
We have a printer, label winder and applicator and they are all excellent. The documentation was great. I made a mistake when setting up the label applicator so I had to use support and they got us up and running in less than an hour. Would recommend.

AP360 and AP380: Cylindrical (able to roll in a straight line – bottles, jars, etc.) Let us test your container if it is not completely round, or if it is tapered.
AP550:
1. Flat Surfaces (boxes, filled pouches, flat faced containers/bottles, etc.)PL400: Empty pouches or other flat items between 3.2" to 9" (81mm to 229mm) W and 1.75" to 32" (45mm to 812mm) H.
2. Empty pouches or slim containers need to be placed on some type of additional platform to raise the container, as the applicator’s neck will hit the edge of the platform if the container is too thin. Books, wood, foam, etc. are great additions to raise the container.
AP360 and AP550: 1 label at a time
AP380: 2 - Front and back label (labels need to alternate front and back on roll)
PL400: 2 - Front and back label (labels need to alternate front and back on roll)
AP360: 1200 containers/hour (semi-automatic – operator has to load container, so this really depends on the operator of the machine as well)
AP380: 1500 containers/hour (semi-automatic – operator has to load container, so this really depends on the operator of the machine as well)
AP550: 500/hour (semi-automatic – operator has to load container, so this really depends on the operator of the machine as well)
PL400: 1300/hour (semi-automatic – operator has to load pouch, so this really depends on the operator of the machine as well)
AP360 and AP380: 0.75” (19mm) to 8.25” (210mm)
AP550: .875” (22mm) to 4.125” (105mm)
PL400 0.75” (19mm) to 8.25” (210mm)
AP360 and AP380: Uses a physical sensor that moves based on the thickness of the material to sense the label and gap.
AP550: Uses an optical sensor. This is important when using a clear material as it would require the black registration mark on the back of the material vs. the AP360/380 which does not require this.
PL400: Uses a physical sensor that moves based on the thickness of the material to sense the label and gap.
AP360 and AP3380: 1” (25mm) to 9.4” (239mm) wide - .6” (15mm) to 6.7” (170mm) diameter
AP550: .002” (0.05mm) to 8” (203mm) high – Platform size: max 12” (305mm) wide x 12.2” (310mm) long (So container could be longer or wider, but label may not be placed where they want it to if it’s too long or wide)
PL400: 1.75” (45mm) to 32” (812mm) high and 3.2” (81mm) to 9” (229mm) wide
AP360: There are guides that move back and forth to ensure your container does not move when applying the label. This also ensures the label is applied without wrinkles.
AP380: If using a front and back label, make sure your front and back labels are alternating on the roll. Measure the spacing you would like between the front and back label on the container. You can set this measurement on the machine and save it in the “mode” settings, so you only have to set the measurement one time, for each container. Place your container in the base and press the foot switch. The front and back labels will be applied by hitting the foot switch only one time.
AP550: The platform underneath the application mechanism can be moved forward and back with the + and – buttons. You can save the setting of the platform for the particular container in the “mode” settings, so you only need to set the placement for the container one time.
PL400: There are guides that move to ensure your pouch stays in place for accurate label placement. You can save the setting of the label (distance from top of pouch to top of label) for the pouch in the "mode" settings, so you only need to set the placement for the label once.
AP362: Up to 9 settings (spacing between front and back label)
AP550: Up to 9 settings (platform location)
PL400: Up to 9 settings (distance from top of pouch to top of label)
