The price for a hand labeller: here’s how to choose the right one for you
How much does a price labeller cost? Comparing prices before buying a price labeller is not a pun: it is a necessity of many companies belonging to different sectors and with varying sizes.
As it is well known, price labellers are used in retail stores, bakeries, transportation and logistics companies, manufacturing factories, and so on.
In some cases, purchasing a single professional price labeller is enough, while other times companies decide to buy a larger number of labellers.
In any case, comparing the prices of various products and, subsequently, the prices of various models be very important to be certain you are making the right choice, opting for the tool that presents all the fundamental requirements and that can boast the best value for money.
Today we will have a look at how much a price labeller may cost according to its features.
The functionality of a price labeller affects the selling price
As anticipated, influencing the cost of a price labeller is, first of all, its functionality. The first factor to keep in mind is, of course, the number of lines that a labeller can print: a price labeller which can print a line is a fairly simple tool, which has a limited number of elements inside of it.
The internal mechanisms become more complicated and more numerous in the case of two-line printing, further increasing for three-line label printing. It must be noted, however, that the price does not vary solely based on this factor.
Factors such as the height of the printed lines, the range of available characters, ergonomics, weight, materials used, and so on should also be taken into account. Now let’s have a look at what is the selling price of the main professional hand labellers by the Sato brand.
How much does a price labeller cost? Here are the selling prices of Sato professional labellers
Let’s start to explore Sato price labellers from one of the simplest professional models.
Let’s begin with the Sato Samark 26.6. It is a labeller that prints on a line up to 6 digits, therefore suitable for writing the price of products on sale, on labels measuring 26 mm x 12 mm (1 x 0.4 in), or 22 mm x 12 mm (0.8 x 0.4 in). In this case, the sale price on our e-commerce – with the current 15% discount – is 48.35 euros (VAT excluded).
Moving forward, we can have a look at the Sato Kendo 22P.8 price labeller which, in turn, prints a single line, but provides 8 characters, so as to offer more flexibility. The label measurements, in this case are 22 mm x 12 mm (0.8 x 0.4 in) as well, for a sale price of 49.56 euros (with a 15% discount as well, excluding VAT).
Should you need to print small labels, measuring 18 x 11 mm (0.7 x 0.4 in), can opt for the Sato PB1 price labeller, which prints a line with 6 numeric characters, with the ability to custom pre-print: in this case the sale price is of 72.98 euros (with a 15% discount as well, excluding VAT).
The price labeller Sato Judo 26.20 can be the choice of those who want two-line label printing, for a total of 20 characters, on labels ranging from 25 mm to 16 mm (0.9 to 0.6 in): the selling price here is 82.54 euros (with a 15% discount as well, excluding VAT).
What if you want the most complete professional manual price labeller, with the ability to print 36 total characters, numbers and letters, on 3 rows of different height?
In this case, the choice could fall on the Satp PB3 208/24 price labeller, designed to print on labels from 30 mm to 21 mm (1.1 to 0.8 in): the selling price on our e-commerce, with a 15% discount, is 242.52 euros, VAT excluded.
The price of labels and ink
We had a look at how much professional price labellers cost.
It must be noted, however, that it is not enough to consider the purchase price of a labelling machine to know how much it will actually cost: this is, in fact, a tool in which both labels and ink must be refilled.
It is therefore best to also take into account the “maintenance” prices over time. In the case of Sato labellers, due to their widespread international and Italian availability, finding refills is never an issue – obviously starting your search from our double-sided regular and industrial tape e-commerce.
It is therefore best to keep in mind that label reels prices vary between 72 cents per roll for the simplest labels to 1.85 euros per roll, for larger labels, with removable double-sided tape. It is also important to take into account the purchase price of inkers, that is, sponges which must be replaced regularly to ensure a fully readable print.
