Automated Labeling Increases Productivity

Lowry’s Paragon Labeling Systems Division offers a complete line of modular, automated labeling systems that provide ideal solutions for labeling anything from small, individual products and delicate packaging to large shipping cartons, cases and pallets. Paragon is committed to engineering and manufacturing quality products that can be easily set up, used, maintained and upgraded.

In addition to standard apply-only and print-and-apply systems, Paragon’s PLS-440 system prints, encodes and applies labels to cartons, cases and pallets for RFID applications. This system verifies each tag, and any tag that cannot be verified is rejected and remains on the waste liner. Due to Paragon’s modular construction, customers can choose print-and-apply initially, then migrate to RFID as technology needs change.

Paragon sets a new standard for precision engineering combined with cost-efficient pricing. All of its labelers are compact enough to fit into any operation and flexible enough to integrate into any automated packaging line. The modular design of Paragon’s automated labeling systems ensures compatibility with future technologies and applications.
