Better Packages Introduces New Electronic Dispenser with Ink Jet Printing System at Interpack Trade Fair
01 April 2008
A new variation of the rugged, reliable and easy-to-use Better Pack 500 automatic water-activated tape dispenser, first introduced by Better Packages, Inc. in 2006, will be on display at Interpack in the Better Packages booth, located in Hall 11, Stand Number G70. The booth will be hosted by Better Packages Authorized Distributor, Hade Heinrich Dornseifer KG.
The new Better Pack 500 Ink Jet System consists of the Better Pack 500 dispenser with an integrated ink jet printing system designed to deliver 300 dpi, on demand printing of changeable alpha-numeric messages and logos directly on the tape as it is dispensed. Producers and distributors of food, beverages, pharmaceuticals and any product that requires time, date or code stamping or messaging can greatly improve productivity while eliminating the cost of purchasing pre-printed tape.
About the Better Pack 500 Ink Jet System
The Better Pack 500 Ink Jet System can print a one- or two-line message in variable character heights with up to three logos in each message. Up to 99 messages can be stored for frequent and easy changeover. Because the Better Pack 500 Ink Jet System can store and print high resolution logos, it is highly effective in fulfillment operations that are packing and individually shipping several brands. Fulfillment companies can offer their customers the ability to reinforce their brands to the consumer.
The Better Pack 500 Ink Jet System is a dispenser with steel side-frame construction covered in durable ABS plastic. It is a tabletop workhorse that stands up to rough handling and rugged conditions in most work settings, while maintaining the consistent performance expected from the Better Pack brand. The Ink Jet System, engineered by Digital Design, expands the capabilities of the dispenser and is comprised of components powered by Hewlett Packard, a respected brand for consumer and business printing needs. The Ink Jet printer can be programmed to print at variable speeds with variable character spacing. The ink cartridge system is designed to make changeover simple and eliminate ink spills.
The Better Pack 500 tape dispenser is built for optimal operator and electrical safety and meets or exceeds UL, CE and CSA standards. Standard safety features include a safety interlock switch, which disables the cutting mechanism when the cover is open. In addition, a thermal cutoff switch protects the motor from overheating.
