As the weather continues to warm all across the country coming into the summer months, there is a need for outdoor labels. Many shop owners, junkyard operators, and growers display products outside for extended periods of time. A standard paper label is not durable enough to withstand extensive sunlight and water. Outdoor labels are a synthetic material and use a UV resistant ink to avoid fading. Outdoor labels can be ordered for the following popular pricing guns; Monarch 1136 price guns, Monarch 1115 price guns, Monarch 1131 price guns, Monarch 1155 price guns, and Meto price gun model 2600/2. Please call us at 1-800-346-7820 regarding availability for other label gun models.

As the weather continues to warm with the breaking of Spring, many farms are gearing up for another busy season. A popular way for farms to mark their cases of produce with the PLU number is by using price guns. It’s common for the farm to have a custom printed price label with their name imprinted on the label. Also, having a label to mark a date with a pre-print reading Best If Sold By is very common as well. A general purpose adhesive will typically work for most applications, however, there are cases which will need a permanent adhesive price label.

Farms use all variety of label guns from many different manufacturers. The popular Monarch 1136 price guns along with Monarch 1136 labels allow for the grower to put multiple lines of information on the label. Farms use the one line Primark P-14 pricing guns, Garvey 22-8, Monarch 1131 price guns, and Towa price guns. Popular two line options are Towa pricing guns, XL Pro price guns, Garvey 22-88, and Meto price guns. You can view and purchase all the label guns listed as well as the Monarch labels, Garvey price labels, and Meto price labels to go along with the hand held labeling gun at our website.

Garvey price gun only takes a few steps. This label gun is known for its ease of use and minimal label jams. Genuine Garvey price labels and Garvey pricing guns are a favorite of convince stores, retail shops and various industries.

This loading process is the same for the G-Series and Contact price gun. Start by opening the front pressure plate by sliding the two black tabs down. While holding the strip of labels, drop the roll of Garvey labels into the gun with the labels coming off the bottom of the roll. You should be seeing the labels on the strip, and only backing paper on the roll. You should have about seven inches of labels out the front of the gun. Then go ahead and close the front plate. Next, we recommend you peel the price labels off the backing paper. This will help to eliminate the possibility of a label jam. When all the labels are off the backing paper, feed it into the slot with the drive assembly. There is an arrow pointing to where to put the paper. Begin clicking the hand trigger and once the paper tightens up, you should start getting printed labels out the top of the gun.

Loading the Monarch 1115 price gun is very similar to the Monarch 1110. The only difference between the two is that the Monarch 1115 gun has a label guide. The Monarch 1115 is a very popular two line label gun.

You want to first tear off the first fourteen labels from the roll of Monarch labels. The glue used to bond the last label to the roll should not go through the gun in order to avoid any jamming of the label gun in the future. With the labels coming off the top of the roll, snap the roll into place between the hubs on the back of the gun. As the roll is going into place, feed the strip through the top of the plastic label guide. Then, squeeze and hold the hand trigger half way. This will allow you to feed the label strip down the guide and through the gun. Go until about twelve labels are coming out the front of the Monarch price gun. Let go of the trigger to engage the brake wheel. Hold the front of the gun toward you and take hold of the labels. Feed them behind the black, plastic plate and stop when two labels are coming out the top right by the roller wheels. Again, squeeze the hand trigger half way and rewind the label roll as to get rid of the loop of labels in the front. Rewind until the loop is gone and the labels are tight and let go of the hand trigger. Next, grab the two Monarch 1115 labels and pull down hard and fast toward the base of the hand trigger. This action will help peel off the labels from the backing paper.

There should now be about eight inches of backing paper coming out the front of the Monarch price gun. Turn the gun upside down and feed the backing paper into the avenue that will pull the paper through the gun right on top of the hand trigger. Once you feel resistance, start clicking the hand trigger and the backing paper should catch on the feedwheel. Turn the gun right side up and continue clicking until printed Monarch 1115 labels come out the top of the gun.

The Monarch 1136 price gun only needs a few steps in order to properly load the Monarch labels. All of the Monarch price guns in the whole 1130 series use these same basic steps to load the price labels and start printing. The Monarch 1136 price gun is sold with different options that allow users to print a large variety of information including pricing, date and time coding, and product identification numbers and letters. Trust B&B Supply to get you the pricing gun with the exact options you need for your application.

Start by pulling back the two black latches near the top of the gun and open the cover until its locked open when you hear the click. Rip off the first ten inches of labels (about 15 to 20 labels). This will remove the glue from running through the gun and causing any jams. Place the roll of Monarch 1136 labels in between the roll holder tabs which are gray in color. You want the labels to unwind off the top of the roll (so you can see the labels). Pull the pricing labels and drape them over the thin, metal peel bar on the front of the Monarch price gun. With about six inches of Monarch price labels centered and hanging over the metal bar, close the cover until you hear the click shut. Next, you will have to peel off all the labels from the backing paper as to avoid the labels running through the feedwheel in the bottom of the gun. Once you have only backing paper hanging out of the gun, hold it as if you were going to price mark your forehead. Then feed the backing paper into the slot above the handle. The slot has two arrows pointing inward. Once you feel some resistance, start pulling the hand trigger and the feedwheel should start to catch and pull the paper in. Continue pulling the trigger about eight times until you have printed labels coming out the top of the Monarch 1136 gun.
