BBK - Labelling Machines and Barcode Printers

BBK are a labelling machine and systems manufacturer from – low-cost label applicators, semi and fully automatic labelling systems, and print-and-apply labelling systems, through to design-to order-solutions.  We also supply and integrate desktop barcode printers from Intermec, Zebra and HP, and can provide offline labelling systems as a stand-alone solution.

Whether you prefer a standard solution or a special machine designed precisely to meet your requirements, BBK offer a comprehensive product range, including table-top or manual dispensers for adhesive labels on reels, semi-automatic labelling systems that are loaded by hand and fully automatic labelling systems.

LABEL PRINTING AND DISPENSING

Our range also includes label printing and dispensing systems. These applicators print and dispense labels by means of a single device. We provide the experience of specialists for all possible applications and work out the best technical and economical solution.

We are continuously developing novelties, such as a fully automatic pallet-labelling machine, for use in a variety of sectors, as well as customised solutions for all kinds of industries.

Our customers operate in a wide variety of industrial sectors, including:

• Pharmaceuticals
• Chemicals
• Cosmetics
• Food
• Electrics and electronics

We ensure that we meet the specific needs of our customers: for example, we supply the drinks industry with a labelling and removal system for marking drinks crates.

LABEL-DISPENSING SYSTEMS

BBK produce RAPID label-dispensing systems. These dispensers utilise high-quality components, an excellent finish and a robust mechanical construction. These factors make the RAPID dispensing systems a reliable partner to deal with all concerns involved with labelling and facilitate optimally adapted solutions. A modular structure ensures fast and simple retrofitting or extension to the system.

ADHESIVE LABELS

We manufacturer adhesive labels on rolls, and our product range includes the following label materials:

• Thermal papers
• Thermal transfer papers
• Coloured and metallised papers
• Polyethylene foils
• Polypropylene foils
• Polystyrene and polyester foils

For printing on computer printable materials with thermal transfer printers, we can supply you with the right thermal transfer ribbon from our large range.

BARCODE SCANNERS

We produce a range of barcode scanners, including linear, two dimensional, wireless and handhelds. Wireless scanners are optimal for applications requiring flexibility and independence during scanning. Handhelds combine the advantage of a consumer PDA with that of a high-end Industrial Mobile Computer (IMC) in a robust housing. Like the PDAs, the product is small and light in weight and, like the high-end IMCs, it provides targeted functions and greater connectivity.

DIRECT THERMAL PRINTERS

Direct thermal printing uses chemically treated, heat-sensitive media that blackens when it passes under the thermal print-head. Direct thermal printers have no ink, toner or ribbon.

Their simple design makes thermal printers durable and easy to use. Because there is no ribbon, direct thermal printers cost less to operate than inkjet, laser, impact and thermal-transfer printers. Most mobile printers use direct thermal technology.

THERMAL-TRANSFER PRINTERS

In thermal-transfer printing, a thermal print-head applies heat to a ribbon, which melts ink onto the material to form the image. The ink is absorbed so that the image becomes part of the media. This technique provides image quality and durability that is unmatched by other on-demand printing technologies.

Thermal-transfer printers can accept a wider variety of media than direct thermal models, including paper, polyester, and polypropylene materials. Thermal-transfer printers can create extremely durable wristbands, asset tags and certification labels, in addition to common labels, tags and tickets. The specific label material and ribbon must be carefully matched to ensure print performance and durability.

Whatever your labelling requirement, BBK will find a solution to meet your needs cost-effectively.
