Frequently Asked Questions
What is a print and apply label applicator for direct mail?
A unit that prints variable data on a label and applies it to the mail piece or carton in one pass on a transport. The Buskro BK731 does this at up to 50,000 labels per hour, replacing hand labeling with placement accurate to a fraction of an inch.
How fast can a label applicator run on a mailing line?
The BK731 applies up to 50,000 labels per hour, and holds tight placement tolerance at 35,000 plus per hour with active speed compensation.
Can a label applicator apply RFID tags, scratch-offs, and Post-it notes?
Yes. The BK731 handles postage stamps, promotional Post-it notes, RFID tags, security labels, peel-offs, and scratch-off panels, from half an inch square up to 5 x 7 inches on a standard 3 inch core.
Will the BK731 work with equipment I already own?
It integrates with existing Buskro mailing, printing, and finishing lines, and its aluminum rail mount moves between production lines quickly. The auto-calibrating peel point cuts changeover between jobs.
What drives the price of a print and apply labeler?
Speed, label size, and how it integrates with your line. Tabletop applicators sit at the entry level; production print-and-apply units like the BK731 cost more. Call Mailtech with your pieces per hour and label spec and we will quote the exact configuration.
