Avery Dennison TH 1500

Improve labeling speed and efficiency by imprinting and bonding variable-data labels permanently onto garments, shoes and other branded products. The computer-controlled system integrates a thermal-transfer printer and heat-seal bonder in a streamlined solution that can bond labels in less than a second and offers potential labor savings of 15% to 20%.

Improve labeling productivity while you meet market demands
The Avery Dennison TH 1500 system lets you eliminate the time, cost and effort required to manage numerous preprinted care labels or hot-stamping plates. It lets you produce a variety of unique labels from stock rolls of film or coated fabric, without stopping to modify text or graphics. This flexibility allows you to adapt easily to the demands of modular manufacturing and Quick Response turnaround.

Combine text, graphics and bar codes creatively.
Computer-controlled data management and printing simplify and speed the entire label generation process. Bar codes, graphics (like permanent care symbols or logos) and fine-print text (as small as 3-point), all print with equal crispness and clarity.

• Faster, more cost-effective than sewn-in or hot-stamped labels
• Computer-generated, on-demand printing adapts to different languages, care symbols, bar codes, serial numbering, etc.
• Efficient performance provides for a quick payback
• Adapts to modular manufacturing, short-lot runs and rework
• Optional security features discourage counterfeiting and product diversion

Print variable data on one side of the label
The Avery Dennison TH 1500 allows you to heat-seal labels into the garments for long lasting, durable labels that hold up to almost any type of washing.

Comfortable for consumers. Durable for you.
Avery Dennison Heat-Seal film and fabric labels are soft and supple enough to be used on garments worn right next to the skin. Yet, when they are thermal transfer printed with compatible permanent inks, they are tough enough to resist manufacturing treatments and home launderings so that permanent care instructions and other information remains clearly readable for the life of the garment.

Protect against product counterfeiting and diversion
By incorporating features like encoded microstrips, bar codes and consecutive serial numbers into your Avery Dennison TH 1500 solution, you can discourage counterfeiting, track product movement and protect against diversion of products.

Multiple production and data management options adapt to your operations
The Avery Dennison TH 1500 in-line system feeds freshly printed labels into position for bonding as quickly as your operator can position the target item under the heat-seal bonder and press a switch. You can also isolate the printer to generate labels for use at other locations or to serve multiple independent bonding stations - roll-feed bonders convenient for longer runs, or hopper-feed bonders suited for short runs and frequent changeovers.

With any Avery Dennison TH 1500 option, you are prepared for changing production schedules and emergencies. You can use label data either manually entered at a local workstation or transmitted for a central computer or network. You can even scan production bar codes to search for and generate appropriate label content and quantities, automatically. Versatile Windows-based Avery Dennison software is also available to help manage your data flow and print process.

Complete solution. Complete support
Whatever your application or system configuration, Avery Dennison is the single source for a complete solution - hardware, installation, label and data management software, operator training, complete equipment maintenance and support and helpful customer service.
