Towa APN-60 Label Applicator

I am another Amazon seller. I have my own brand of cell phone accessories, so before sending my product to amazon, I must label them with barcodes. Peeling and sticking thousands of barcode labels is very time consuming, and actually becomes difficult the longer you do it. I bought this label applicator with the hopes that it would work for what I was doing. I was unsure how well it would sense the edge of labels, but I thought I'd give it a try. Upon receiving this applicator, I decided to test it out. And it worked perfectly. I still don't quite understand how it works, but it has not once missed a label or double fed a label with 10,000+ applied. It has also allowed me to at least double the speed I apply labels. It is possible to do 1000 units an hour with this thing. This is a very specialty market, so I was surprised to find such a simple and affordable solution. If you happen to need to apply thousands of labels, you can't go wrong with this applicator.

find a way to keep it from getting lost. otherwise it is an amazing tool to apply retail stickers in a short period of time and works well all the time. too expensive to lose though. our employees walk off with them and we never see them again.

Shipping to Amazon FBA you need SKU labels on your products if you want to avoid labeling fees, this combined with a thermal printer is the way to go if you have around 200$ to dedicate toward this part of your business. I also highly recommend a label rewinder, but they are 150$+. As for this applicator specifically, I thought I would try making my own but after closer inspection of how this applicator works, it is VERY well engineered. Even when you do accidentally pull the lever a little too hard, it can "jam" but most of the time I've found it just rips off the excess label backing prematurely, but it doesn't actually affect the flow because of the location of the backing pulling teeth. You're able to resume normal function immediately.

If you are apply barcodes printed on 1"x2" by hand this thing will change your life. Take a task that took 15 minutes and get it done in 2. Easy to use once you take a few minutes to understand its operation. We are using thermal labels from a zebra printer to place barcodes on products we produce. I would say we have applied easily 25k of labels with no real issues. Thinking of purchasing more to have on hand to keep us from having to swap label rolls for our different products.

works great for labeling amazon fba buy this the rolls of paper and a rollo printer and your good to go I was able to do about 100 boxes in 5 min or less longest part was lining them up on the floor in a row took a total of 12 min compared to a hour. It does jam sometimes but is a easy 30 second fix and your good for another 1000 labels just depending on the roll size was a little to big i had to cut out 100- 200 labels so it would fit but you can hand roll them around later on and re use

These things work great - came back and bought a few of them for the warehouse guys - they love them. They are able to apply stickers in a specific spot (as required) with lightening speed. very happy with these - wish we bought them years ago.

This barely works and is a terrible deal for the price. The labels barely come out of this and it damaged most of them while you are trying to use it. Way better to just use your hands. This is definitely a waste of money and I recommend just using your hands.

We use these every day, all day at our warehouse. They take a beating and keep working. Sometimes the labels get jammed up at the applicator, but for the most part, they do a great job.
