THE BH700, when paired with any BH or Marathon roll-fed labeler, creates a
durable and dependable roll-on shrink-on labeling system. Based on the
patented B & H Endura®
Process, the BH700 provides high-impact shrink labeling
at a lower cost versus shrink sleeve labeling.
ENDURA FOR ENHANCED SHELF APPEAL
In the Endura process, shrinkable roll-fed
labels are applied to containers using a roll-fed
labeler. Containers are then conveyed through
the BH700 shrink system, where temperature-
controlled hot air guns gently warm the label
area. The label shrinks and perfectly conforms
to the contour of the container. The result is a
unique, eye-catching package with enhanced
shelf appeal.
A RANGE OF APPLICATIONS
With a wide array of available shrinkable
label materials, the BH700 is able to
support labeling of a wide variety of shaped
containers, from innovative contour profiles
to necked-in aerosol cans. The system
handles metal, glass, plastic and fiberboard
containers ranging in size from 2 to 3.5 inches
(50.8 to 88.9 mm) in diameter. Operating at
up to 500 containers per minute, the BH700
shrink system can interface with any roll-fed
labeler.
COST-EFFECTIVE DECORATION
Labels applied with roll-fed shrink technology
are less expensive than shrink sleeves. Initial
capital equipment investment is lower, and
change parts and label costs are less. Line
speeds are typically faster than shrink sleeve
labelers and overall machine productivity is
higher due to reduced scrap rates and lower
machine maintenance.
For aerosol manufacturers using necked-in cans,
the Endura process provides many advantages
over pre-printed litho-decorated cans: just-
in-time manufacturing flexibility, reduced
warehouse space and inventory carrying costs,
shorter production runs; and faster new
product introductions.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the Endura process, shrinkable wrap-around labels are applied to containers using a roll-fed labeler
with a hot-melt glue system. Containers are then conveyed through the BH700 Shrink system, where
six fully adjustable hot air guns gently warm the label area. The label shrinks and perfectly conforms
to the contour of the container. Independent and adjustable container rotation and conveyor speeds
ensure quality results.
