This helps customers to make informed decisions and improves organisation within a store. Setup: First, assembly of each label maker was completed. We timed how long it took to take the product out of the box and prepare it for use, and recorded how useful and detailed the included instructions were.

Handheld label guns are a great, low cost and effective option for compliance product date and traceability marking. As government legislation continues to increase traceability and retail food dating requirements, having an affordable, easy to use, uniform procedure during the product marking process has become paramount. Our most popular choice is a labeller that will display the month, day, and year; MM/DD/YY. An example would be 07/22/13. Date codes on food containers can be as simple as using a label gun or as complex as having a continuous ink jet printer installed on a conveyor. Having a date label gun is an ideal solution for smaller operations, or when portability is required to enable simple fully portable on-demand coding. If you are specifically looking for a desktop labeler, the Brother P-Touch PT- D610BTVP Business Professional Connected Label Maker is our top choice. We want to be clear that we tested an older model, the Brother PTD600 PC-Connectable Labeler. But, with that option now discontinued, and this updated version available in its place, we're excited about the possibilities. Position the labelling gun – Hold the labelling gun firmly in your hand, with your finger on the trigger. Maintain a strong but comfortable grip for maximum stability and control during the labelling process.Wax ribbons are an ideal solution for low volume printing.
