The system weighs the product, calculates the price based on a pre-programmed price per kilogram or price per unit, and prints and applies a label containing the weight, price, barcode, product description, use-by date, and any other required variable data. This eliminates manual data entry, reduces labelling errors, and ensures full compliance with UK and EU weights and measures legislation for pre-packed and pre-packed for direct sale (PPDS) products.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur range covers standalone weigh price labellers for manual packing operations, semi-automatic systems for medium-throughput lines, and fully automatic in-line weigh price labelling systems for high-speed production and packaging environments. Capacities range from bench-top units handling products from a few grams to several kilograms, through to heavy-duty in-line systems for larger food, industrial, and logistics applications. All systems are available with thermal transfer or direct thermal printing, and can be integrated with ERP, MES, and traceability systems via Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or serial communication.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSelecting the correct weigh price labelling system requires consideration of throughput rate, product type and size, label format and data requirements, integration with upstream and downstream equipment, and compliance obligations under the Weights and Measures Act and PPDS regulations.

The product is placed on or conveyed across the weighing platform; the system captures the weight, retrieves the product data from its PLU database, calculates the price, and prints a label containing the weight, price, barcode, description, and any other required variable data. In fully automatic in-line systems, this process is continuous and hands-free, with products conveyed through the system at production line speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAre weigh price labelling systems compliant with UK weights and measures legislation?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. All weigh price labelling systems in our range are designed to comply with the UK Weights and Measures Act 1985 and the associated Packaged Goods Regulations, which govern the accuracy of weight declarations on pre-packed products sold by weight. Systems intended for use in trade must use approved weighing equipment meeting the relevant OIML or WELMEC accuracy requirements. We can advise on the correct accuracy class and approval requirements for your specific application and product type.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat is PPDS labelling and do weigh price labellers support it?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003ePPDS stands for Pre-Packed for Direct Sale — food products packed on the same premises from which they are sold, such as sandwiches, salads, and deli items prepared in a retail or food service environment. Under Natasha's Law (in force from October 2021), PPDS products must carry a full ingredients list and allergen information on the label. Our weigh price labelling systems support PPDS compliance by allowing full ingredients and allergen data to be stored in the PLU database and printed on each label at the point of packing. Contact our team to confirm PPDS label format compatibility for your specific system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCan weigh price labellers be integrated with our ERP or production management system?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Most systems in our range support Ethernet and Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing PLU product data to be managed centrally and downloaded to labelling terminals across a site. Integration with ERP, MES, and production management systems is possible via standard communication protocols including TCP\/IP, Modbus, and OPC-UA, depending on the system model. Our technical team can advise on the integration options available for your specific system and software environment, and can assist with configuration and commissioning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat label sizes and formats are supported?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eLabel size and format support varies by system model, but most weigh price labellers in our range support a wide range of label widths and lengths, with thermal transfer and direct thermal printing options. Standard label formats include EAN-13 price look-up labels, GS1-128 logistics labels, and custom formats for retail, food service, and industrial applications. Label design software is included with all systems, allowing custom templates to be created and managed on-site. Contact our team with your label size, format, and data requirements for confirmation of compatibility with a specific system.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"dibal-ls-5000-automatic-labeller","title":"Dibal LS-5000 Automatic Weigh Price Labeller","description":"\u003ch2 data-sourcepos=\"1:1-1:88\"\u003eDibal LS-5000: High-Speed Weigh-Labeling System for Demanding Production Environments\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-sourcepos=\"3:1-3:854\"\u003eThe Dibal LS-5000 supports a wide range of barcodes, including EAN-8, EAN-13, EAN128, CODE 128, ITF-14, QR code, GS1 Datamatrix, and GS1 Databar, with the ability to print up to four barcodes per label.
