The 3M-Maticâ„¢ Print and Seal Applicator PS2000 from 3M (St. Paul&#44 MN) combines sealing and labeling functions in one system. Uses a thermal printer to print custom text&#44 logos&#44 graphics and bar codes directly on PP sealing tape on boxes&#44 eliminating the need for separate labels.

Designed for closing topseams of regular-slotted cases at speeds to 15 cases/min the machine uses water-resistant tape that is linerless and comes in long rolls that need changing infrequently.
