A: Yes, our solutions can be tailored to a wide size range. For very small pouches (tiny sachets, for example), we can use a feeder system that handles small packets and applies appropriately sized labels accurately. For very large bags (like 20–25 kg sacks), we have heavy-duty print-and-apply machines that can print large format labels (up to A5) and firmly apply them to bulk bags. We select the right applicator and support mechanism based on your minimum and maximum package dimensions. Adjustable guides, stronger vacuum suction, or custom label pads may be used to accommodate extremes. In most cases, one Kelgray bag labelling system can be configured to handle everything from little 50g pouches up to big sacks by adjusting settings or attachments, providing great versatility.

A: In most cases, yes – our labelling systems are designed to match typical packaging line speeds. For example, if your vertical form-fill-seal machine produces, say, 40–60 pouches per minute, we can integrate a labeller capable of handling that rate. Our equipment applies labels in real-time without slowing the line. For very high speeds, we can employ techniques like tamp-blow application (which is extremely quick) or even dual applicators in a staggered setup for continuous operation. Kelgray has experience integrating with fast bagging lines, focusing on real-time labelling at maximum cycle rates. During our planning, we’ll confirm your throughput needs and ensure the chosen system meets or exceeds that output. The end result is that the labeller will not be the bottleneck in your process.

A: Absolutely. We often supply print-and-apply labelling systems for bags and pouches. This means the unit includes a printer (typically a thermal transfer printer) that can print variable data on each label just before application. For example, if each pouch needs a unique batch code, expiration date, lot number, or barcode, our system can print that data onto the label in real time and immediately apply it to the bag. The software can pull this information from your database or scale system so that every package gets the correct info. This is ideal for generic bags that require product-specific labels or for meeting compliance (like printing allergen info, use-by dates, etc.). Kelgray’s integrated approach ensures you don’t need separate pre-printed label stock for each variant – the system will handle printing and labelling in one automated step.
