History of the hand labeller
The hand labeller was invented by Yo Sato in 1962. It quickly became a success around the world and opened many new markets. Correspondingly, in 1964, Sato began manufacturing their own labellers which saw the launch of its supply business. Contrarity, POS systems began to emerge in 1970. Resultantly, hand labellers were being produced that were compatible with barcodes and optical character recognition (OCR) Presently, Sato hand labellers can be used across a range of industries such as food and beverage, and manufacturing sectors.
