Paragon PLS-300 PAS Print and Apply Label Printer and Applicator from small delicate packaging to shipping cases and pallets applies labels

PARAGON

Paragon PLS-300 PAS Print and Apply Label Applicator

A PARAGON system can label most anything - from small, delicate packaging to shipping cases and pallets. It can print-and-apply most any size label and can easily perform sequential numbering, time/date imprinting, lot numbering, expiration dating, and more.

The system permits stacking of many different jobs for continuous operation, yet allows special jobs to be inserted into the run. For precise compliance labeling, the PARAGON system's versatility, label placement accuracy, and crisp thermal/thermal transfer printing quality means penalty-free performance. Changeover to different label information and sizes is fast and easy. The system even rotates 360 degrees for operation in any position. And the operators learning curve is minimal.

Labeling systems for quality and efficiency in supply chain applications Paragon’s PLS-300 series offers high-quality and cost-effective solutions for either apply-only or print-and-apply labeling of products, cartons, cases, and pallets across the supply chain. From its attractive purchase price to its rugged design and precision engineering, the Paragon PLS-300 series is an outstanding choice for standard labeling applications.

Paragon PLS-310
The Paragon PLS-310 is a robust apply-only label applicator, providing all the powerful Paragon PLS-300 chassis features for applications using pre-printed labels. This machine comes equipped with our patented Express module that features stepper drive with the ability to apply labels at 24" per second, backlit programmable display, solid state controls, and a unique “push-pull” label drive design. You can apply pre-printed labels today; then, if your needs change to require print and apply in the future, simply remove the Express module and replace it with the OEM print engine of choice to upgrade this machine to a Paragon PLS-320 printer applicator.

Paragon PLS-320
The Paragon PLS-320 offers the same performance, quality, control, and integration as the Paragon PLS-310, with a print engine for print-and-apply applications. These durable label applicators produce labels “on demand” and apply them automatically in a single, easy operation, dramatically improving quality, appearance, and productivity. Expanding on “next off” technology, Paragon PLS-320 labelers use every label, eliminating waste. They can accommodate most any size label and can easily print sequential numbers, time/date stamps, lot codes, expiration dates, barcodes, human readable text, graphics, and more

The Paragon PLS-300 PAS is UL, CSA and CE Certified.

Modular design
The PARAGON system features a unique modular design that couples your choice of high-quality print engine modules to one of several label applicator modules through a rugged chassis. Modularity results in better quality control, simplified ordering with shorter lead time, simplified maintenance and assured compatibility with future technologies. The PARAGON print-and-apply system is easy to set up, simple to operate and extremely reliable.

Easy integration
The PARAGON system's compact modular design fits into any operation without taking up a lot of valuable space. It is compatible with ThinNet and 10 Base-T networks and is easily integrated into any automated packaging line. Or, it can be set up as a transportable stand-alone labeling operation. Most popular labeling software, including Label View®, Easy Label®, Label Matrix® and Bar One®, can be used for label setup, design and download to the PARAGON system.

Engineering excellence
The PARAGON system is engineered for durable, extended operation in a manufacturing environment. Only premium-quality materials are specified and the workmanship is precise. Every system is built to exacting standards and subjected to Marprint's tough quality and performance standards to ensure exceptional long-term reliability. PARAGON is registered with leading agencies such as ETL (UL standards), CE and CSA as further quality and safety assurance.

Changeover to different label information and sizes is fast and easy. The system even rotates 360 degrees for operation in any position. And the operators learning curve is minimal.

Print engine
The PARAGON system gives you a choice of three print engines to ensure a perfect match with your own production environment. Proven print engines from SATO, ZEBRA and DATAMAX provide the high-quality 203dpi or 300dpi thermal printing that's so important for positive bar code scanability and attractive appearance. All three print engines feature a user-friendly touch-pad operator interface and are designed to mount to the PARAGON system chassis with plug-and-play simplicity.

Preprinted and blank labels
The PARAGON system is from Marprint, Inc., a labeling leader since 1974. Marprint's commitment to quality labeling solutions isn't limited to equipment. Our distributors can also provide quality labels and thermal transfer ribbons for use with the PARAGON system. Competitively priced blank labels allow you to print the entire label with the PARAGON system. Or, custom labels can be preprinted or flood-coated to include a colorful logo and artwork for on-demand printing of the variable label information with the PARAGON.

Penalty-free compliance labeling- these and more...
The PARAGON system is the easy and affordable solution for producing compliance labels that won't be rejected.

Paragon Applicators

Standard tamp
Typical applications: cases, cartons and packaged goods
Operation: a label is printed and dispensed onto a vacuum pad. When the product is detected, the air cylinder engages, causing the pad to come in momentary contact with the product to apply the label. The air cylinder then retracts and the next label is dispensed onto the pad.

Dual tamp
Typical applications: pallets, cases and cartons
Operation: a label is printed and dispensed onto a hinged vacuum grid. When the product is detected, the air cylinder causes the grid to move forward at the opposite end of the hinge point into the path of the moving product where it tamps the label onto the substrate. The air cylinder then retracts and a duplicate label is dispensed onto the grid. As the product continues forward, the second label is applied to an adjacent surface.

Roll-on
Typical application: cases, cartons and packaged goods...well-suited for long, skinny labels
Operation: a label is printed and dispensed to a hinged vacuum grid. When the product is detected, the air cylinder causes the hinge point to move forward where the application roller presses the leading edge of the label against the surface. As the product continues past the applicator, the rest of the label is rolled onto the surface.

Vacuum blow
Typical applications: irregular and/or fragile products...packaged goods, cases and cartons
Operation: a label is printed and dispensed onto a vacuum grid. When the product is detected, a valve opens momentarily and a precise burst of air accurately "blows" the pressure-sensitive label onto the product without impact or damage.

Corner wrap
Typical application: cases and cartons
Operation: the product is detected as it travels along a conveyor, causing a label to be printed and dispensed onto a 90-degree vacuum grid positioned in the path of the product. The product contacts the applicator and, as the product continues to move forward, the applicator rolls around the corner o apply the rest of the label to the side surface.
