Weigh Price Labellers for Meat & Cheese Packaging: Efficient Solutions | SameGram
In the fast-paced world of food processing, especially when dealing with perishable items like meat and cheese, precision and speed are everything. Weigh price labellers stand out as essential tools that streamline the packaging process by combining accurate weighing, real-time pricing, and seamless labeling—all on a single conveyor line. These systems ensure that every tray or pack is weighed correctly, the price is calculated based on that weight, and a label is printed and applied instantly. This not only cuts down on errors but also helps businesses meet strict regulatory standards while keeping production lines humming.

A weigh price labeller is more than just a machine—it's a complete system that handles the entire workflow from weighing to labeling without skipping a beat. Here's how it typically works in meat and cheese packaging: Products, whether they're trays of sliced ham or blocks of cheddar, move along a conveyor belt. First, a checkweigher accurately measures the weight—often with precision down to ±0.3-2g, depending on the model. This data is instantly transmitted to a connected computer or controller. Using predefined pricing rules, the system calculates the exact price. Then, an on-demand printer generates a custom label with details like weight, price, barcodes, QR codes, ingredients, and expiration dates. Finally, the label is applied precisely to the package, all while the product keeps moving at speeds up to 60 items per minute.
This integrated process solves real-world headaches in food packaging. For instance, inconsistent weights in meat portions can lead to pricing disputes or waste, but with automatic data syncing, every label matches the actual content perfectly. In cheese packaging, where products might vary in size or moisture, the system's auto-adjustment for position and size ensures labels stick right every time, reducing rejects and rework. Our SameGram weigh price labellers, like those in our combination systems, feature modular designs that make this seamless. They support weight ranges from 1g to 50kg, with belt speeds up to 28m/min, and integrate easily with ERP or MES systems for full traceability. This means you can track every package from production to shelf, aiding in recalls if needed and ensuring compliance with standards like HACCP, GFSI, and USDA.
If you're dealing with high-volume lines, consider issues like manual labeling slowdowns. Traditional methods require stopping the line or extra staff, but our systems automate it all, boosting throughput by up to 40% in some setups. Plus, with IP66-rated stainless steel construction, they're built for washdown environments common in meat and cheese processing, preventing contamination and extending equipment life.
Key Applications in Meat and Cheese Packaging
Weigh price labellers shine in scenarios where accuracy and speed directly impact profitability. In meat packaging, they're ideal for handling variable-weight items like ground beef packs or steak trays. The system weighs each one dynamically, prints labels with catch-weight pricing, and applies them on the top or side—perfect for retail-ready displays. This addresses the challenge of fluctuating raw material weights, ensuring fair pricing without over- or under-charging.
For cheese, whether it's shredded mozzarella in bags or whole wheels, the labellers manage diverse pack sizes efficiently. They can incorporate barcode scanning for verification, preventing mix-ups in multi-product lines. Imagine a busy dairy facility: Products come off the slicer, get weighed, priced based on per-unit rates, and labeled with multilingual info for export markets. Our SameGram models, such as the Checkweigher with Labeller Combination System SCL-7035L5, handle up to 50 pieces per minute with ±0.5-2g accuracy, making them suitable for medium to large operations.
Beyond basic labeling, these systems tackle practical problems like regulatory compliance. In food safety-focused industries, labels must include allergen warnings, nutritional data, and origin tracing. Our weigh price labellers support real-time printing of 1D/2D barcodes and QR codes, linking to databases for instant audits. They're also customizable—add vision checks for label placement or metal detection to catch contaminants, solving quality control issues before products leave the line.
Benefits: Why Invest in a Weigh Price Labeller?
The advantages go far beyond speed. First, efficiency skyrockets—by automating weighing, pricing, and labeling, you cut manpower needs significantly. In a typical meat processing plant, this could mean reallocating staff from tedious tasks to quality oversight, reducing labor costs by 20-30% over time.
Accuracy is another big win. Manual weighing often leads to errors, but our systems deliver consistent results with servo-controlled labeling at ±2mm precision. This minimizes giveaways (overfilling to meet minimum weights) and ensures every cheese pack meets exact specs, saving on materials and boosting margins.

Real-World Examples: Success in Action
Picture a mid-sized meat processor struggling with bottlenecks during peak seasons. By implementing a weigh price labeller combination system, they automated their line, handling 25-50 trays per minute without extra hires. The result? Reduced errors from 5% to under 1%, plus full traceability that impressed auditors.
In another scenario, a cheese packaging facility faced export challenges due to inconsistent labeling. Switching to an integrated system allowed multilingual prints and QR codes linking to supply chain data. This not only sped up production but also opened new markets, with compliance rates hitting 99.9%.
These examples draw from our extensive experience at SameGram, where we've supported over 5,000 installations globally. Our factory's rapid prototyping and in-stock parts mean quick customizations, like adjusting for specific conveyor layouts in meat lines.
