The Corner Wrap system applies the label to the trailing corner of the pack, using the Vulcan ‘direct apply’ printing method. It includes a simple, secondary pneumatic roller wipe to ensure full adhesion of the label around the corner and side of the product. For front of pack applications, the system uses a pneumatically-controlled arm applicator.
Both systems incorporate integrated pack detection and applicator home/extended sensor functionality to ensure accurate label placement every time. ICE claims throughput speeds are faster than typical front-of-pack and corner-wrap machines.
ICE will also show its new Scorpion thermal inkjet printer. This features a novel printhead design which has cartridge protection. This reduces the uncapped time of the cartridge, allowing the use of inks suitable for non-porous substrates without loss of reliability or print quality.
