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.

Primera PL400 Pouch Labeler / Pouch Label Applicator - Quickly & Accurately Apply Labels To Pouches
  1. What are the prices of the applicators?
  2. AP360: $1395
    AP380: $1595
    AP550: $2395
    PL400: $1595
  3. What are the main differences between the four applicators?
    • Types of Containers:
    • 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.)
      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.
      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.
    • Number of labels applied:
    • 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)
    • Speed:
    • 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)
  4. What types of materials can be used?
  5. Any of the materials we stock can be used on the applicators. If you have another material that we do not carry, we suggest testing the material on the machine to make sure it works.
  6. What is the minimum/maximum width labels (including liner) can be?
  7. 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)
  8. How does the applicator know when to apply my label?
  9. 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.
  10. Do you offer any financing?
  11. Yes! We have relationships with both PayPal and Credit Key. Ask your sales representative for more details on these programs.
  12. How large can the outer diameter of the label roll be?
  13. Up to 8” (203mm) - all applicators
  14. What is the minimum/maximum size of the containers I can label?
  15. 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
  16. How do I make sure my label is placed exactly where I want it?
  17. 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.
  18. How many settings can I save? (AP360 does not have this feature, as it’s not needed to apply one label)?
  19. 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)
