FrifreegoAutomatic Label Dispenser, 0.12"-5.9" x 0.16"-5.5", 0-999999 Auto Counting, Electric Label Stripper AL-1150D with Speed Adjustable Photo Cell Sensor

I was quite skeptical about whether this was going to work, but since I often am affixing hundreds of labels at a time I was willing to take a chance on anything that might save time.My initial attempts to use this machine did not go well. The edge of the roll of labels closest to the main housing was being folded over and the paper backing of the labels was tearing at the point the label was just reaching the edge at which the label and backing were to be separated.The solutions were pretty simple.To prevent the roll of labels from being folded over I just had to space out the alignment on the takeup spindle about 1/2 inch from the main housing to ensure it was being pulled slightly away from the main housing. Since figuring that out, there has been no problem.As for the issue of the paper backing tearing, I quickly realized that the clear plastic panel that holds the labels down as they approach the edge at which the labels and backing are separated had a lot of downward tension. I mean, this was causing a lot of friction and a lot of force was required to pull the strip of labels under that clear plastic panel. The edge at which the backing goes down and back to the takeup spindle is a fairly sharp angle, and the paper backing just was not strong enough to withstand the force required. I looked for a way to adjust whatever spring was holding down the clear plastic panel, but found none. So I took a small piece of the paper backing and folded it a couple times to act as a spacer between the clear plastic panel and the separating edge. There still was too much friction for the paper backing, so I folded it a couple more times. I now have probably 8 layers of the backing positioned about 1/4" to the side of where the strip of labels feeds. There still is good friction to keep the strip of labels taut as it goes under the clear plastic panel, so the backing is pulled sharply down and back to the takeup spindle while the label continues straight out. It may not look classy, but in the absence of any way to adjust the tension this works.I have not tried this with larger labels and am unsure how well the sensor would work with something larger, but for what I am doing this is effective and has reduced the time required to peel labels off the roll and to attach them to sample bags by about 40% compared to doing it all by hand.

This machine makes my job so much easier. Easy to assemble and reliable. Thank you!

Everything works as described, however, the U shape metal that holds the residual labels backing roll is very flimsy, it does not stay the same shape as it came so you need to ply it to shape once in a while.

Works well, no complaints. Works with a portable power supply.

We use 6" long x 3" wide labels. The alternative to this unit, is $500+ Uline or other manufacturer. I have not used those higher end units, but this label dispenser performs likely as well for 1/3 the cost.Length adjustment is a little finicky and has a learning curve. For our 6" long labels, its a minor annoyance. However, I could see this being a problem for someone using 2" or less long labels.The build quality is solid, and although I have not had it apart, it does sound and feel like the internal motor/gearing is robust.Removing the used up label rolls is kind of a pain, and something that should be improved.

Good

Purchased this dispenser in May 2022. Very happy with this purchase as it is easy to use and works great! Great customer service as well! I would definitely order from them in the future.
