The Story of Race Label Razor
The first Race Labeling machine was designed for use in our own food company, Crown Jewel Gourmet. After procurring a large order for a nationwide gourmet products store, we started out as many companies do by hand labeling. Hundreds of labels and PVC containers were wasted in our initial production run. The labeling process was the slowest part of our production line and 3 or more people could not keep up with our conveyors. It was also the least popular job position with our employees.We began the tedious search for an affordable semi-automatic labeling machine. These machines were slow, difficult to thread, wasted labels every time the roll stock needed to be changed and were very expensive. They also had electrical parts that were costly and unreliable.
After numerous designs and testing in our own company, we put the first machine onto our production line. We built another machine for our own use. Several food manufacturer's in New Mexico saw the machines and asked if we could build one for them. Our first machines were sold to a candle company, a winery and a local popular restaurant "El Pinto". El Pinto labeled over 650,000 salsa jars the first year they had the machine. From our small manual labeling machine, they purchased an in-line machine costing several thousand dollars.
The RL-1 was patented over 7 years ago. We have since sold machines all over the world, including the Heineken(r) Museum in Amsterdam. Take a look at some of the applications our machines are used for. In many cases, our machines were customized to label products that no other machine could label.
