On 23 September 2026 a distributor in New Zealand — a new customer we met at a machinery exhibition — ordered one RF-200D desktop flat surface labeling machine for a 1 L ice cream tub with a recessed lid. It shipped from stock after a test run on their own tubs. Then a nine-second clip came back, with one line attached:
“It is very good, thank you. I need to try get you some more orders!”
No survey, no follow-up call — just footage of the machine running, and a promise to bring more orders.
The clip is nine seconds of the machine on their own product: a tub goes on the conveyor, the label drops into the recess, a brush presses it flat, the finished tub runs out.
The RF-200D puts one sticker on the flat face of a product — tubs, trays, boxes, bags, lids — at 20–40 pcs/min, with ±1 mm placement and labels up to 150 mm wide. A ribbon coder can print a date or batch code in two lines before the label goes down. 220 V single phase, bilingual English/Chinese touchscreen, one operator.
For this order the label had to sit inside the recessed panel rather than bridge the rim, and the coder printed two lines: production date 2026.09.23 and best-before 2028.09.23.
The same unit handles tubs, trays, boxes, bags and lids — if a container has a flat face, it can be labeled. Not sure whether a desktop machine is enough for yours? Send a photo with a ruler beside the label area and we will tell you. See the RF-200D →
