3-Panel CD Case Labeling System
Custom System

The Challenge
A leading CD manufacturing company required a labeling system to print-and-apply barcoded labels to the unhinged
edge of CD jewel cases. This company also required a barcode scanner to verify the barcodes and an ejection
system to reroute any product with incorrect barcodes or missing labels. What was needed was a printer applicator
system that was fast and reliable.

The Solution
Label-Aire’s custom solution was to modify its new Inline Series 6000 open-frame labeling system for print-and
apply labeling. The barcode labels are applied using the all-new 3138-N printer applicator. By combining Label-Aire’s
proven inline conveyor technology with the advanced 3138-N, the end result is a fast and reliable labeling system
the customer was looking for. The Label-Aire 3-Panel CD Case Labeling System prints and applies labels at speeds
up to 60 products per minute. The 3-panel application is achieved by a pneumatic wipe down station that effectively
wipes the top and bottom of each jewel case as they pass through. The barcode scanner then scans each barcode. If
a CD is missing a label or the label’s barcode cannot be verified, a pneumatic eject system “reroutes” that particular
CD preventing it from moving down the line.
