Best Industrial Label Printers and Cutters: SMARTECH Powers In-House Packaging Success
In today’s fast-paced packaging environment, businesses need reliable, flexible, and high-quality label solutions that keep up with demand. SMARTECH delivers exactly that with its powerful combination of the OKI Pro1050 Label Printer and the Graphtec DLC1000 Digital Label Finishing Cutter. This integrated solution enables print service providers and manufacturers to streamline their in-house label production workflow from design to finished product.
OKI Pro1050: A New Era in Flexible Label Printing
The OKI Pro Series Label Printers, available through SMARTECH, are engineered to meet a wide range of label printing needs. These printers offer exceptional media handling, allowing users to print on a diverse range of materials, including uncoated, glossy, and textured papers, as well as synthetics with clear, opaque, metallised, white, or coloured substrates.
The OKI Pro1050 stands out with five-colour (CMYK + White) narrow-format printing, enabling on-demand, short-run colour label production. The addition of white ink allows for striking designs on coloured or metallic substrates like gold and silver, surfaces that are typically challenging for other digital technologies. This capability helps brands create eye-catching, cost-effective labels that stand out on shelves.
Additionally, the Pro1050 produces robust, waterproof labels that are resistant to chemicals and UV fading. Labels printed on synthetic materials like Teslin have been tested to meet EU standards, surviving underwater for up to three months without deterioration, making them ideal for demanding environments and regulatory compliance.
Graphtec DLC1000: Advanced – Digital Label Finishing Cutter
The Graphtec DLC1000, supplied by SMARTECH, is a digital label finishing solution designed for continuous, high-efficiency production. Unlike traditional rotary cutters, it eliminates the need for costly cutting dies by using a built-in cutting plotter, significantly reducing operational costs.
With its laminating function, the DLC1000 enhances label durability, resisting chemicals, environmental exposure, image fading, and abrasion. It supports roll-to-roll processing of up to 200 metres, making it ideal for short-run and on-demand label finishing.
Key features include:
- Roll-to-roll processing up to 200 metres.
- Media width support up to 216mm.
- Laminating and slitting functions for enhanced durability.
- Cross-cutting capabilities for sheet or roll finishing.
- Direct operation from Illustrator or CorelDRAW via Cutting Master plug-in.
