New Label Applicators Now Available for the Epson ColorWorks CW-C6000P On-Demand Color Label Printer

LONG BEACH, Calif. – Sept. 2, 2020 – Epson today announced two label applicators have been designed specifically for the ColorWorks® CW-C6000P on-demand label printer with peel-and-present capabilities. The General Data PAC5 and the LabelMill LM3612CTT label applicator, when combined with the Epson ColorWorks CW-C6000P, deliver an on-demand, full color print-and-apply labeling solution. The Epson ColorWorks CW-C6000P 4-inch model, as well as the ColorWorks CW-C6500P 8-inch model, are the first printers with peel-and-present coupled with remote I/O control, enabling integration with an automated label applicator to print, then apply the label.
“Both LabelMill and General Data are experienced leaders in the applicator market, with great depth of experience in creating products for any packaging need, whether food, transportation or manufacturing,” said Bonny Chou, product manager, Commercial Labels, Epson America, Inc. “In today’s world, workers must be vigilant about safety, often needing to wear gloves on the production line, which makes peeling and applying labels difficult. Using the peel-and-present option, or an automated label applicator, are ways to maintain an efficient workflow.”
About the General Data PAC5
The PAC5 color label print and apply label applicator is designed to make label printing and applying easier and simpler. The solution prints full color labels on blank media, then automatically applies the label to a wide variety of products. The PAC5 is available as a manual or fully automatic print and apply. After sending a color label job to the printer, the machine detects the presence of a product and triggers the start of the application process. The PAC5 is attached to the Epson ColorWorks CW-C6000P printer in order to print, feed a label on to the pad and extend the dual tamps to apply the label. Once the label is applied, the PAC5 retracts the tamps allowing the cycle to repeat. A video of the PAC5 can be found here: https://youtu.be/ZUrFyh1MgYE.
“Together with the CW-C6000P, the PAC5 solution offers the benefit of applying labels in the same place every time, which is a crucial aspect of the packaging esthetics,” said John Roberts, vice president, General Data Automation.

Designed as a compact, semi-automatic tabletop configuration, the LabelMill label applicator is built for heavy-duty industrial use and offers a user-friendly interface for quick changeovers and adjustments. The LabelMill solution offers an adjustable product fixture, providing the flexibility to label a wide range of products with repeatable precision.

“Creating a label applicator for the new CW-C6000P on-demand label printer was a no brainer, and with the combination of the ColorWorks printers and the LabelMill applicator, users will receive quality and reliability,” said Chris Wachter, business development, LabelMill.
