The innovative labeling system automatically switches between two applicators should labels run out, remains functional if a jam occurs on the line and automatically ejects unlabeled bottles. — Label-Aire Inc., 550 Burning Tree Road, Fullerton, Calif. 92833; 714/441-0700; www.label-aire.com.

Also new is the company’s AquArmor Flooring Systems that uses a revolutionary new water-based resin technology for use underneath any flooring or as a stand-alone system. — The Sherwin-Williams Co., c/o Ultimate Lead System, P.O. Box 739, Berea, Ohio 44017; 800/524-5979; www.sherwin-williams.com/im.
Print and apply
The Imaje 2000 Print and Apply is capable of placing labels anywhere on the package. The print and apply uses modular applicators to place labels on the top, sides and corners of packages. The choice of consumables and software allow the user to create and download label formats to pilot printers in a network. Seven applicators come in four categories: tamp, blow, wipe and articulated arm. All applicators are suitable for stationary packaging, but for moving packages it is recommended to use a tamp, wipe or blow applicator. The tamp applicator is suitable for labeling the sides and tops of packages. The applicator applies the label by punching it directly onto the package in one motion. The wipe applicator can label the sides, top and corners of packages. It applies the label and wipes it smoothly onto the box. The blow applicator applies the label to any side of the package with a source of air that blows the label smoothly onto the surface. — Imaje USA, 1650 Airport Road, Kennesaw, Ga. 30144; 770/421-7700; www.imaje.com.
