Automatic Carton Label Pouch Feeder Machine With Thermal Inkjet Printer Manufacturer & Supplier In Great Britain

In regulated and high-throughput packaging environments, accurate feeding and coding of cartons, labels, and pouches is no longer optional—it is a necessity. Pharmaceutical, food, and FMCG manufacturers operating across Great Britain, particularly in industrial and logistics hubs such as Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Nottingham, Milton Keynes, and the wider Midlands corridor, face increasing pressure to improve traceability, reduce manual intervention, and maintain consistent packaging quality.

The Automatic Carton Label Pouch Feeder Machine with Thermal Inkjet Printer manufactured by Technogen Enterprise is engineered to meet these exact challenges. This advanced system combines reliable carton, label, and pouch feeding with precise thermal inkjet printing, delivering a unified solution for batch coding, expiry marking, and product identification within modern packaging lines.

What Is an Automatic Carton Label Pouch Feeder Machine with Thermal Inkjet Printer?

This machine is a specialised packaging auxiliary system designed to automatically feed cartons, labels, or pouches into a production line while simultaneously performing high-resolution thermal inkjet printing. It is commonly installed upstream or mid-line before filling, sealing, or cartoning operations.

The integrated thermal inkjet printer enables direct printing of variable data such as:

• Batch numbers

• Manufacturing dates

• Expiry dates

• Product codes

• Regulatory information

By combining feeding and coding into a single platform, the machine improves efficiency, accuracy, and line coordination.

Machine Overview

The Automatic Carton Label Pouch Feeder Machine is built with a fully fabricated SS 304 stainless steel structure, ensuring hygiene, durability, and long-term reliability. A variable speed conveyor system enables smooth handling of different carton and pouch formats, while the thermal inkjet printer ensures crisp and legible printing at production speeds.

This machine is widely adopted in packaging facilities across Southern England, the Midlands, and Northern England, where manufacturers demand both operational flexibility and compliance with GMP-oriented packaging practices.

Working Principle

1. Carton / Label / Pouch Loading

Cartons, labels, or pouches are stacked into the feeding magazine or tray. The stacking mechanism ensures consistent separation and alignment.

2. Controlled Feeding Mechanism

A red and black belt drive system accurately picks and feeds individual cartons or pouches onto the conveyor, maintaining precise spacing and orientation.

3. Conveyor Transfer

The product moves along the conveyor belt at a controlled speed, adjustable via a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) to match downstream equipment.

4. Thermal Inkjet Printing

As the carton or label passes the printing zone, the thermal inkjet printer applies high-resolution coding. Print parameters are synchronised with conveyor speed for consistent print quality.

5. Discharge to Next Machine

Printed cartons or labels are discharged in correct alignment for downstream operations such as filling, sealing, or cartoning.
