The Evolution of Mini-Con: Small Machines, Big Impact

At Tach-It, innovation starts with listening. When we launched our very first Mini-Con machine—a compact top labeler designed to simplify a single task—we had one goal in mind: make automation more accessible.

That original model did more than just apply labels. It sparked a shift in how small-to-mid-sized operations think about packaging. It showed that automation doesn’t have to be complex, expensive, or out of reach.

From One Machine to an Entire System

What began as a single top labeler quickly evolved into a complete ecosystem of automated labeling solutions. Today, our Mini-Con line is one of the most diverse in the industry, with purpose-built machines for almost every labeling need:

  • Mini-Con T – Our original top labeler for flat surfaces.
  • Mini-Con TB – A top and bottom labeler for dual-side applications.
  • Mini-Con S – A side labeler designed for narrow or vertical surfaces.
  • Mini-Con R – Perfect for round products like bottles, tubes, and jars.
  • Mini-Con L & L-80 – Applies L-Clip seals or labels from the side to the bottom of cartons.
  • Mini-Con CTL / BLP / BL / BLM-110 / BLA-110 – Specialized for pouches, bags, flat boxes, and more.
  • Mini-Con C – For “C-wrap” style labeling around three sides of a product.
  • Mini-Con ALR – High-efficiency labeler for round products with optional feed systems.
  • Optional Accessories – Feed tables, accumulation tables, and mobile stands to customize your workflow.

Whether you’re labeling retail cartons, food packaging, or medical pouches, there’s a Mini-Con designed to fit.
