📝 Description

This Used CTM Model 3600-PA Printer Applicator is a high-speed thermal labeler designed to print and apply pressure-sensitive labels to moving products with precision.

It is configurable for either right-hand or left-hand conveyor setups and supports label widths up to 7.1 inches with a print width of 6.6 inches.

The system includes built-in barcode and alphanumeric font printing, a portable stand, and a parts unit.
