IMA Labeling at Interpack 2026
At Interpack 2026, IMA Labeling turns labeling into a strategic lever for performance and integration within the massive IMA Group Hall 17 hub.
Multi-side pallet labeling
Pallet3 is IMA Labeling’s automatic pallet labeling solution, engineered to deliver precise and repeatable label application in logistics, manufacturing and distribution environments.
Designed for stationary pallets, it combines a programmable multi-axis applicator with a protected industrial architecture to ensure reliable product identification and full supply chain traceability.
Supporting front, side and rear applications with configurable labeling cycles, Pallet3 adapts easily to different pallet formats and production requirements while integrating seamlessly with leading print engines.
Pallet3 combines intelligent motion control with a programmable multi-axis applicator to deliver accurate label placement on one, two or three sides of the pallet.
Its enclosed industrial architecture protects critical components while providing easy access for loading consumables and routine maintenance. Compatible with the leading print engines and designed for seamless integration into automated logistics environments, Pallet3 delivers the flexibility, precision and reliability required by modern end-of-line operations.
Apply labels on one, two or three sides of stationary pallets through fully programmable application cycles, ensuring maximum flexibility for different logistics requirements.
The synchronized X, Y and Z axes with articulated wrist ensure accurate and repeatable label placement across different pallet sizes and application positions.
The enclosed solution safeguards mechanical and electronic components, improving operator safety while minimizing maintenance requirements.
Compatible with Zebra, SATO, TSC, Novexx and Carl Valentin print engines, Pallet3 integrates easily into automated production and warehouse environments.
