Handlabelers are manually operated, mechanical devices that print and dispense labels. Handlabelers can be used to quickly and easily label and mark goods with a wide variety of information.
A handlabeler is used for effective and legally binding customer communication at product level. It allows you to communicate information such as prices, best-before dates or other mandatory information quickly and easily on your product via a printed label. These contribute to effective customer communication.
Fields of application are for example
Advantages of Meto handlabelers:
Handlabelers are available in a wide range of standard variants.
A basic distinction is made between handlabelers according to the area of application. The area of application in turn determines the final label size as well as the number of lines and digits of the price labeller.
In principle, a handlabeler should be durable and robust. For users, this means that such a price labeller is just as user-friendly to use as it is ergonomic. In addition to the quality workmanship itself, a handlabeler should be perfectly matched to the respective area of application. An optimally coordinated and certified setup consisting of a handlabeler, suitable labels and a high-quality ink roll results in a perfect print image.
By pressing the handle, the print ribbon or stamp is guided over a roller-shaped "stamp pad" and moistened with black ink. In the same step, the stamp is pressed onto a label and the imprint or printed image is created. Thanks to the optimised lever travel in the device, very little force is required to operate the handlabeler.
When the handle is released, the printed label is dispensed from the front of the labeller via a dispensing lip. The label tape in the device is automatically fed a little further. The next label is then in the perfect position for the next print.
Individual print positions can be set to the desired value using an adjustment knob on the printing unit. To do this, simply move the slider to the position to be changed and turn the wheel until the desired value appears in the printing unit window. This allows you to set each individual position. If positions on the label are to remain blank, it is also possible to set blind values. Finally, move the slider back to the starting position. The print ribbon or stamp is now set to your desired print image.

A handlabeler consists of plastic and metal parts. You can dispose of the handlabeler with normal household waste. The ink roll is also free from harmful substances and can therefore also be disposed of with household waste
