Where end-of-line labelling fits
- After filling, capping, packing or case sealing.
- Before palletising, wrapping, warehousing or dispatch.
- At a pallet station where SSCC or shipping labels are created.

Questions buyers ask
Quick answers for planning the right labelling configuration.
Can an end-of-line labeller handle both cases and pallets?
Some projects include more than one applicator or station because case and pallet labelling have different mechanical requirements.
Can the label be printed after scanning the product?
Yes, systems can be configured to print after a barcode scan or control signal identifies the product.
Can Lancing advise on conveyor integration?
Yes, the labeller can be specified with sensors, stands, guards and line integration support.
