FOX IV Technologies, a long-time innovator in automated labeling, is unveiling two new print-and-apply systems—expanding their labeling range in both small-format and wide-format industrial labeling.
The new 5961 Compact Label Print & Apply and 8008 Wide Label Print & Apply systems are engineered to meet the evolving identification needs of material handling, packaging, warehousing, and industrial operations. Together, they bookend the labeling spectrum: one built for tight spaces and small labels, the other designed for oversized, high-impact applications.
5961 Compact Label Print & Apply: Big Capability in a Small Footprint
Designed for space-restricted environments and low-to-medium throughput operations, the FOX IV 5961 delivers the full functionality of a larger print-and-apply system in a streamlined, compact frame. It handles an impressive range of label sizes—from 0.79" × 0.5" up to 4" × 8"—making it ideal for precise product labeling, compliance labeling, and shipping applications.
The 5961 integrates Zebra ZE511 print technology, offers 203, 300, or 600 dpi resolution, and supports a 12" OD label roll. Its Allen-Bradley PLC, color touchscreen HMI, and easy-maintenance design make it production-friendly for operators and integrators alike.
“The 5961 brings big capability to a compact footprint,” notes FOX IV’s product team. “It’s built for operations that need accuracy and flexibility without giving up valuable line space.”
Key Features:
• Compact footprint for tight production areas
• Small-label print-and-apply capability
• Zebra print engine (203/300/600 dpi)
• Up to 4.09" print width
• 12" OD label roll capacity
• Electric or pneumatic applicator options
• Allen-Bradley PLC + color HMI
• Easy maintenance and integration
Fox IV's 8008 Wide Label Print & ApplyFox IV
When applications demand labels wider than 6", the FOX IV 8008 steps in with industrial-grade power and precision. Purpose-built for drums, pails, barrels, pallets, and large-format packaging, the 8008 prints and applies labels up to 8.75" wide with a crisp 8.5" print width.
Powered by TSC/Printronix print technology, the 8008 offers 203 or 300 dpi resolution and supports multiple printer language emulations—including Zebra ZPL and SATO SBPL—making it easy to drop into existing workflows.
With a 14" OD label roll capacity, robust construction, and a selection of application methods (including tamp, tamp-roll, rotary actuator, and vacuum belt), the 8008 is engineered for demanding industrial environments.
“The 8008 is designed for operations where a standard label simply won’t cut it,” says FOX IV. “It brings wide-format labeling muscle to applications that require bold, compliant, and highly visible identification.”
Key Features:
• Prints and applies labels up to 8.75" wide
• 8.5" print width
• TSC/Printronix print engine (203/300 dpi)
• Emulates major printer languages for seamless integration
• Large-capacity label roll (up to 14" OD)
• Allen-Bradley PLC + color touchscreen HMI
• Multiple application methods, including custom options
