SEBRING, OH - April 19, 2005 - The new 3600RW Label Printer/Applicator from MPI Label Systems now allows users to print, validate, write and affix variable RFID labels in a single process, eliminating the need for pre-printed RFID labels. The 3600RW builds on the successful design of MPI's 360RW Label Applicator by incorporating the use of a Sato or Zebra thermal printer.

"The 3600RW's all-in-one design allows the end-user to incorporate RFID directly into the content and shipping label -right at the point of shipping," said MPI president Randy Kocher. "This will be of particular benefit to higher-volume manufacturers currently labeling cases with thermal printed labels."

The new device prints, validates, writes and affixes an RFID label in real time at speeds up to 30 labels per minute. Other systems require writing to the transponder before the point of label application. In that information and production requirements change frequently, users could end up with a pre-written roll of labels with inaccurate transponder information.
