Print and apply systems
Hermes C
for printing with two colors
Print labels with two colors and apply them in real time
Hermes C is the world's first system for printing labels with two colors and applying them right after. It has been designed in particular for applications according to GHS.
Integral retraction enables individual labels be printed and applied on demand without loss.
All shapes of containers can be labeled, such as bottles, cans, barrels, buckets, cardboard boxes or pallets.
A modular system provides solutions for any application.
- Designed for industrial operation
- Easy to install in production lines
- Interface-based access to ERP and process control systems
For the labeling of chemicals and hazardous substances GHS and REACH demand standardized pictograms. The directives apply worldwide. Hazard symbols, such as empty diamonds, are not permitted.
Hermes C enables individual labels be designed and printed.
cab supplies labels and ribbons for Hermes C applications, certified to BS5609/3, if required.
Sample label
" GHS demanded two-color printing. For us it was important that the bags and barrels are labeled directly in the line taking into account the product speed respectively the speed of the conveyor belt."
Daniel Jardot, General Manager of TFL France
