WHAT IS YOUR LABEL SIZE?

HOW TO DETERMINE YOUR LABEL SIZE

4x6 LABEL SIZE EXAMPLEPrint Width x Print/Feed LengthThe label width is 4”, the label length is 6”.

6x4 LABEL SIZE EXAMPLEPrint Width x Print/Feed Length The label width is 6”, the label length is 4”.

* Label width may dictate size of print engine required for your system

LABEL SPECIFICATIONS & SIZING1. Labels must be die-cut with gap for label sensor. Labeling automation systems cannot run/index butt-cut labels.2. Label liner without perforations are preferred, as perforations are typically not compatible with labeling automation systems. 3. Eye-mark required for clear labels, where applicable.4. For printing, labels must be Thermal Transfer or Direct Thermal compatible.5. Label samples must be provided to Panther Industries no less than 10 business days prior to requested ship date.6. All Panther Industries systems will operate with labels wound in or out. We recommend labels wound out, as shown here.

SUPERSTRUCTUREWill your labeling system(s) require a superstructure for mounting above a conveyor? ❏ Yes ❏ No

If you answered “Yes” to the above, please collect the additional information on this and the next page.

If “No”, you may complete the online project survey with the information you have compiled up to this point.

SYSTEMS PER SUPERSTRUCTUREPlease indicate the number of labeling systems required per superstructure:

❏ 1 System ❏ 2 Systems ❏ 3 Systems 51” Superstructure Length 90“ Superstructure Length 131” Superstructure Length

SUPERSTRUCTURE SLIDEWill your superstructure require a slide for the labeling system, providing an operator with better ergonomic access and safer maintenance/service interaction?

❏ Yes ❏ No




SUPERSTRUCTUREPlease indicate the following related to a superstructure that may accompany the conveyor and labeling system (all dimensions in inches).

Standard superstructure widths are 40", 50", and 59". Depending on the width of your conveyor, combined with the distance required between it and the structure, a custom superstructure width may be necessary.

Note: The applicator rack tube extends above the superstructure height and is variable in length, depending on the length of the applicator rack.
