<h2>Label Printer Applicators</h2>
[[image:Print-and-apply-anatomy.jpg|thumb]]<p>Label printer applicators are basic robots that will automatically print and apply pressure sensitive labels to various products. Some types of labeling include shipping labeling, content labeling, graphic images, and labeling to comply with specific standards such as those of GS1 and U.P.C. A pressure sensitive label consists of a label substrate and adhesive. First developed in the early 1980's by FOX IV Technologies (at the time, a subset of Matthews International) and CRM Inc., today there are over 70 manufacturers of these types of machines worldwide.</p>
<p>Basic label printer applicators consist of three primary parts: a printer, or print engine, an applicator and a method to handle label and ribbons, referred to as media. </p>
