Hermes label printing systems have been in use in industrial, commercial and service companies in all sectors for 20 years. The 3214 swivel applicator labels very small to medium-sized labels laterally on slides. The pad for pressing or blowing the label onto the material surface is positioned in front of the dispensing edge. The label is printed and transferred to the applicator. A rotary cylinder swivels into the labeling position. The label is placed on the slide by means of a lifting cylinder. Adjustment to individual applications takes place via an adjustable angle of rotation and linear stroke.

Cylindrical bodies, inclined or curved surfaces can be labeled with a siliconized form stamp. Bubble formation is prevented during label transfer. In the case of a test tube, for example, the label can be wrapped up to 200 degrees.

Two-color labeling according to GHS guidelines

When the GHS, a globally uniform system for the classification and labeling of chemicals, was adopted and came into force under European law, the thermal transfer printers in the XC series were the first to enable two-color label printing in a single operation. This means that users no longer have to keep large quantities of pre-printed labels in stock. An automatic economy function reduces material consumption for expensive thermal transfer ribbons used as spot colors. Device versions are available for print widths of up to 105.6 millimetres and up to 162.6 millimetres.

The XC series' counterpart for fully automatic labeling is Hermes C. It can be used to label containers such as bottles, canisters, barrels, cartons or pallets. The integrated retraction system makes it possible to print and apply individual labels on demand without an empty label. The system was awarded the German Packaging Prize. as
