Matthews Australasia says it will expand on its range of in-line labellers now it is the Australasian agent for Compact Labelling Systems.

Compact's automatic and semi-automatic models are easy to set up and are low maintenance, according to general manager Mark Dingley.

"There is also minimal downtime and maximum efficiency, so manufacturers can confidently run their labellers for even the most demanding production lines," he says.

"The modular designs have a smaller footprint, are simple to use, and cost-effective to operate.”

Compact’s automatic, inline labellers suit top labelling, wrap labelling, wrap labelling with seam orientation, front and back, a combination of front and back and wrap, wrap labels oriented to flip marks on tubes, and wrap labelling or partially wrap labelling cones.

The portable semi-automatic models suit slower production lines, low volumes or short runs to label bottles, jars, tubs, cans and tubes.
