Pre Pack Scale for Labelling and why do I need it?

If you manufacture, import, pack or sell pre-packaged products then you must comply with the National Trade Measurement legislations. As a NMI (National Measurement Institute) servicing licensee we are able to supply and/or service you with the appropriate equipment to help you comply with the NMI regulations.

Pre-packaged products can encompass a number of products and industries from fresh food and grocery items to cosmetics, and cleaning products.

When weighing and labelling variable weight items such as cheese, meat, smallgoods, poultry, seafood, nuts & lollies a label printing scale is your best option. Depending on your requirements we offer everything from retail bench style labelling scales, to commercial pre-pack labelling scales and automatic weigh/wrap/labellers.

For commercial labelling applications which demand high volume printing the Ishida IP-Ai is designed as a pre pack labeller. Featuring a wide print-head for labels which require large amounts of information, a large roll capacity for long print runs and less time changing of rolls, and the ability to produce a large variety of labels styles and shapes.
