Epson makes label creation easy

Saving businesses, consumers time and money with versatile LabelWorks range

Building on its success in the business printing and labelling markets, Epson has announced its range of versatile, easy-to-use label makers. Addressing both mobile and desktop labelling needs, the range comprises the compact LabelWorks LW-300, ideal for office labelling, and the lightweight LW-400, with backlit screen, designed for mobile labelling in almost any environment. Both models are compatible with a wide selection of Epson label tapes and offer savings with economical, nine-metre tapes.

Straightforward to use, the LW-300 and LW-400 feature an integrated keyboard for standalone operation and dedicated buttons for quick access to cutting and printing functions. Businesses can save time by storing favourite label designs in the label makers’ internal memory for re-use: the LW-300 stores up to 30 designs and the LW-400 up to 50.

Targeting both businesses and consumers, the two models offer versatility with a choice of font types, character sizes, symbols, borders and styles. The LW-400 also provides barcode printing.

Epson’s wide selection of labels in 6, 9, 12 and 18mm widths cover practically every labelling need. The range includes standard, black, transparent, matte and writable matte paper labels, index tab and flag labels, a variety of colours such as fluorescent and pastel, and two adhesive strengths. All Epson labels are very durable, resisting water and withstanding hot and cold conditions.

 “To help our customers get more labels for their money, our label makers minimise the margins of each label to prevent tape wastage. Furthermore, at nine metres long, our economical tapes are some of the longest in the market,” said Mukesh Bector, Regional Sales Manager for Epson East Africa.

The Epson LabelWorks range will be available for purchase from January next year.
