The APP family –
your solution for direct
Print-on-Packaging
You are a thriving player in the industry,
especially in food, pharmaceuticals or
cosmetics. The packaging of your products
is essential to your success in the industry.
Therefore, you print for example best-before-
codes, charge-numbers, barcodes or other
variable data directly onto the packaging
material. To communicate this important
information as best as possible, you need
special thermal transfer printers with a high
degree of quality. Here’s your solution.
The APP family
Printers of the APP series by Avery Dennison
are of strong quality, have a high engineering
level and specifications that exceed those of
the competition. They will help you to opti-
mize production line uptime while reducing
total cost of ownership.
The thermal transfer printers deliver a sharp and
clear print result image without compromising
print speed or production output, on materials
like PE, PP and paper and even on Tyvek®.
The APP family provides a comprehensive range
of high-speed thermal transfer printers for
intermittent and continuous mode.
The intermittent Print-on-Packaging solution
APP 312 and APP 315 are Avery Dennison’s
printer-solutions for intermittent applications.
With print widths from 53 x 106 mm
(APP 312) and 128 x 106 mm (APP 315),
the APP 31x family covers the demand for fle-
xible and reliable thermal transfer printing on
all kinds of material. In combination with a
print speed up to 600 mm/sec, the APP
31x family takes care for high output of your
products.
As with all Avery Dennison’s APP print modules,
the APP 31x are controlled by the APP Control-
ler. This user-friendly device with touch screen
enables you to integrate the APP 31x in your
production-line fast and easily. Create your
print design on the APP Controller or by use
of the EasyDesign software on a PC.
Everything
under control
All Avery Dennison APP-printers for printing
on packaging are supplied with an APP
Controller. The APP controller has a 5,7”
LCD touch screen. Convince yourself of the
user-friendly menu structure.
Designing your print can be done by using
the touch screen or by connecting the APP
Controller with an external PC. The standard
built-in Ethernet-port can be used for any net-
work-connectivity.
Besides the print-design, the APP Controller
can be used to handle the printer-settings
and parameters, define macro’s or run a
users-administration.
The Windows-based system guarantees
you easy use. Its CF card has an internal
memory of 128 MB, upgradeable to 512 MB
with external CF. You operate the system
on a 5.7” touch screen.
The full printdesign-feature eliminates the
need for additional design-software.
Connectivity is ensured via serial RS 232
and Ethernet. For harsh environment, the
APP Controller is also available in a pro-
tected housing.

Your continuous
Print-on-Packaging solution
The APP 325
The APP 325 is Avery Dennison’s thermal
transfer print solution for large print widths
at high print speed.
The APP 325 prints 128 mm width print
designs at a print speed of 800 mm/sec
easily. This is your perfect, reliable solution
for continuous print-mode.
The APP 325 includes a revolutionary foil-
fading system, that allows up to 80 % foil
saving. This fading system results in the print
used on the foil being less than the actual
print achieved. A feature which will reduce
the costs of printing by at least 20 % in
relation to competing printers.
Your economical solution
High output, robust design and low foil
consumption makes the APP 325 your
economical solution and creates the best
possible cost of ownership.
