About

FOX IV is a leading designer, integrator, and manufacturer of world class automated labeling solutions.  Our equipment is sold globally and includes label applicators, printer-applicators and automated packing slip solutions.  FOX IV integrates major label printer engines such as Zebra, SATO, and Epson, into our systems.   All of our industrial labeling automation solutions are designed for continual operation while being easy to operate and maintain.  

FOX IV routinely works with system integrators, automation companies, and robotics companies as well as manufacturers, warehousing, and distribution operations to successfully add labeling automation to their processes.  This enables companies to become more efficient by increasing throughput and reducing errors.

Custom labeling system design and software integration are available through FOX IV's in-house engineering group. With our experienced engineering staff, custom labeling solutions including software development, material handling, system interfaces and complete integration are available in addition to stand-alone equipment.  Additionally, because we have our own in-house machining center, we are able to quickly design and develop new products and custom systems.

Some of the common labeling solutions we have addressed include: compliance labeling, automated packing slip and shipping label systems, product labeling, UL tracking systems, GS1 bar code compliance implementation, washdown environments, RFID encoding/labeling systems, wireless and Ethernet communication, full electric, full color, and PLC based equipment.

Additionally, FOX IV is a full-service label house, providing thermal transfer, direct thermal, pre-printed and ink jet compatible labels.  Our labeling expertise gives us a special insight to manufacturing labels for use in automated labeling equipment, which can be dramatically different from labels used in manual labeling. Labels are provided both for FOX IV as well as competitive equipment.

FOX IV is an active member of the PMMI (the Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies) and MHI (material handling, logistics, and supply chain management).

FOX IV was formed in 1996 following the purchase of the labeling division from a larger international company.  Many employees from that larger corporation moved with FOX IV to start the new venture, some of which remain with the company today.  This allowed FOX IV to have continuity of engineering, sales and technical support as well as a tremendous body of knowledge in equipment design and label converting.

Over the decades, FOX IV has grown both in product line offerings as well employee and building size.  While our initial product line included thermal/thermal transfer print and apply systems, label printers, and labels, we have added packing slip automation systems, label finishing systems, and full-color print and apply.  New equipment enables manufacturing efficiencies to improve.  Additional engineers, sales, and service personnel allow the company to continue to build and grow.

FOX IV is continually improving our products and services.  We regularly update equipment designs to take advantage of the latest technologies and techniques.  Our personnel receive training in their areas of expertise to keep up to date on the latest equipment and procedures. As we focus more on sustainability, we have added equipment and options to help toward reducing energy and waste.  

Today, FOX IV is a dynamic, evolving company that strives to exceed our customer's expectations.  We look forward to continuing to evolve and help many more companies achieve their labeling goals.
