Labeling small cylindrical components like tubes, valves, and fittings can be a significant challenge in manufacturing and packaging. Inconsistent placement, label misalignment, and wasted materials often slow down production and add costs. That’s why Dartronics has engineered a Custom Flag Labeling System for Fittings designed specifically to solve these problems with precision and speed.
In this detailed video demo, you’ll see how this advanced labeling system expertly folds and wraps labels around small parts, ensuring every label is applied perfectly—eliminating errors and boosting productivity.

In-Depth Video Highlights:
The demo video walks through the system’s key features and workflow, including:
- Custom Engineering (0:11): Dartronics builds each Flag Labeling System to meet specific client needs, ensuring seamless fit and function.
- Precision Labeling for Small Parts (0:16): Watch the system wrap labels around curved fittings with perfect uniformity.
- Simple Manual Loading (0:33): Operators can quickly load fittings by hand for smaller runs or mixed production.
- Optional Robotic Loading (0:40): For high-volume facilities, robotic feeders can be added to fully automate the process.
- High-Speed Application (0:49): Apply more than 20 flag-style labels per minute without sacrificing accuracy or consistency.
- Uniform Wrap Application (0:53): The folding mechanism ensures each label wraps tightly and evenly around the fitting, reducing label damage and read errors.
- Flexible Operation Modes (1:52): Switch between automatic mode and manual control with an easy-to-use foot pedal.
- Quick Size Changeover (2:10): Quick-change adapters allow fast adjustments for different fitting diameters, reducing downtime.
- Print & Apply Capability (2:48): Integrate with high-resolution printers to add variable data on demand.
- Increase Throughput (3:52): One operator can triple the labeling output compared to manual methods.
- Smart Sensors (4:56): Sensors detect product presence and prevent conveyor movement if parts don’t drop correctly.
- No Product, No Label Logic (5:30): The system ensures labels are only applied when a fitting is present, preventing wasted labels.
Why Choose the Dartronics Flag Labeling System?
This system addresses many common pain points faced by manufacturers and packaging lines handling small, round parts:
.
- Consistent, Professional Label Application: Every label is wrapped perfectly with no crooked or loose edges.
- Reduced Label Waste: Intelligent sensors and control logic minimize wasted labels and materials.
- Fast Changeovers: Adapt quickly to different product sizes with modular adapters.
- Increased Production Speeds: Automate a process that was previously manual, tripling throughput with fewer operators.
- Traceability and Compliance: Print variable data on demand to keep your products fully traceable and compliant with industry regulations.
- Flexible Integration: Seamlessly fits into your existing line with compatibility for conveyors, printers, and vision systems.
What Makes the Flag Labeling System Stand Out?
Unlike traditional labeling machines, the Dartronics Flag Labeling System is purpose-built for small, cylindrical fittings ranging from ½ inch to 1 inch in diameter. Its unique folding mechanism creates “flag-style” labels that wrap neatly around hoses, tubes, and valves—making critical product information clearly visible and securely attached.
Engineered and tested in Perth Amboy, NJ, this system integrates effortlessly with your existing production line components such as printers, conveyors, and barcode vision systems. This integration supports real-time printing of variable data like barcodes, lot codes, and expiration dates—essential for traceability and regulatory compliance.
