This delivers unrivalled adaptability to those companies who require the printing and application of labels to products where label position is subject to change, enabling these companies to future-proof their production lines without large initial setup costs. \u00a0The PandA Cube has been designed and constructed to make it suitable to operate in the harshest working conditions where ingress from airbone particulate needs to be minimised in order to protect the electromechanical sub-assemblies and components of the printer applicator, this helps further increase the flexibility of the machine.\u00a0 For example, the print engine and label roll unwind unit are encased in an environmental enclosure with a polycarbonate door.\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.etiquette.co.uk\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright\" alt=\"The PandA Cube\" src=\"http:\/\/www.etiquette.co.uk\/blog\/images\/panda-cube-blog-redo.png\" width=\"150\" height=\"250\" \/><\/a>Protecting the inner workings of the machine in such a way is of great benefit to the customer as print engine wear and printhead damage are drastically reduced, resulting in minimal applicator downtime and an increase in productivity.<\/p>\n<p>Reliable operation and print accuracy are of paramount importance in today\u2019s packaging applications, this is due to the demands placed on suppliers by major retailers and supermarkets where stringent quality control and precise scanning of barcodes on outer-case labels leaves no margin for error.\u00a0 In fact, scan errors due to poorly printed or unreadable barcodes often result in a complete rejection of delivery, leaving suppliers with pallet loads of unwanted products and a damaged reputation.\u00a0 The protective construction of the PandA Cube ensures that this problem is eradicated as the print engine will perform with additional reliability and accuracy than other machines presently available on the market and is engineered to effortlessly integrate into any production environment. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.etiquette.co.uk\/\">Etiquette<\/a> Sales and Marketing Director Tom Bunce said:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have introduced the PandA Cube as the most versatile Industrial Print and Apply labelling solution available, for such a modest capital outlay.\u00a0 Flexibility in 21<sup>st<\/sup> century production environments is paramount to staying ahead in today\u2019s competitive world, but even so, interest in this machine has been beyond our expectations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For more information about the range of machinery from Etiquette visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.etiquette.co.uk\/\">www.etiquette.co.uk<\/a> or call our expert sales team on 0845 222 0354.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the UK\u2019s independent experts in labels and labelling, Etiquette prides itself on providing the reliable and cost-effective solutions that allow our customers to meet the demands of the ever-changing world of packaging.
