For automatic labeling equipment, Paragon Data Systems, Inc. is the leading Value Added Reseller (VAR). Our line of automatic labeling equipment has an international reputation for reliability and durability, even in the harshest of environments.

Paragon offers a complete line of printer/applicators that can accurately tamp, blow, wipe, or wrap labels onto products in-line at high speeds. Our equipment combines years of experience and the latest innovations in thermal transfer technology to solve in-line, variable data labeling requirements. Our printer/applicators are microprocessor-controlled to print and apply next-out labels in numerous resident fonts while supporting all popular bar code symbologies. Selectable modes of operation with LED display, external pneumatic controls, and a menu-driven interface make operator use simple. With print speeds of 12 inches per second, up to 100 products per minute can be labeled.

Paragon gives its customers automatic labeling systems that meet the requirements of:

• UCC Shipping Labels
• Compliance Labeling
• Pharmaceutical Labeling
• UPC Product Identification
• Adjacent Side Labeling w/Product Labeling
• UL/CSA Rating Labels
• Corner Wrap Labeling
• Pallet Labeling

Paragon Data Systems does more than install printer/applicators to your production line, we customize a software application that is interfaced into your existing production and manufacturing system, thereby eliminating the need for operator input. Our system ensures accurate, high-speed labeling even in multi-product or multi-case lines. Paragon integrates in-line data terminals and fixed-mount laser scanners into the system for 100% verification of product labeling. The scanned data can be used to provide pallet building, production counting, product routing, or any other real-time information capabilities you may require.

The real strength of a Paragon system is our experience with creative labeling network designs. Need more than just a stand-alone printing system? We can design state-of-the-art automated labeling systems that can scan a box, print the appropriate labels and verify the integrity of the label. Our printing solutions can involve simple data entry on strategically-placed on-line data terminals or bar code scanning that generates labels when and where customers need them.
