Product description

The CUNU Model 2516 foodservice labeling gun helps you implement HACCP regulations and is ideally suited for kitchens, the hospitality industry, suppliers, and many other food production and processing companies. Clearly mark goods in cold storage with the day of the week. Prevent errors through precise and unambiguous food labeling. Further improvements in food safety can be achieved using color-coded labels. Unused print characters can be set to "blank," allowing you, for example, to print the day of the week on the top line while leaving space on the bottom line for a manually entered employee initial—or to print that identifier as a numeric code.

Technical advantage: The print bands, manufactured using a vulcanization process, are significantly more robust and durable than the laser-cut bands typically found in labelers from other manufacturers. This advantage is particularly beneficial in industrial settings where the devices see heavy use. Weighing just 281 grams, this is one of the lightest two-line labelers on the market, yet it offers maximum stability thanks to its full-shell housing (injection-molded in Germany). CUNU offers a 4-year warranty on its hand labelers, though with proper care, they can last an entire working lifetime.

The CUNU C2516 Gastro is a reliable hand labeler designed for precise food labeling in professional environments. Capable of applying 25x16 mm labels quickly and legibly, the device is particularly well-suited for businesses required to implement HACCP standards.

Typical areas of application include commercial kitchens, butcher shops, bakeries, foodservice establishments, and canteens, as well as food processing companies that require clear, structured labeling based on days of the week and storage periods.

Thanks to its manual operation, the labeler can be used independently of the power grid at any time, enabling quick and easy labeling directly at the point of use. Colored labels can also be used to visually distinguish between product groups or shelf-life dates. This makes the C2516 particularly suitable for small to medium-sized businesses looking for a practical, low-maintenance solution for food labeling.

Key facts: What is the HACCP labeler, and what can it do?

The HACCP labeler is a manual labeling device for the foodservice industry, used to label food products in accordance with HACCP principles. It enables fast, standardized, and traceable food labeling in kitchens, storage areas, and cold rooms—without the need for electricity, software, or digital infrastructure.

As a two-line labeler, the device combines predefined text with variable information such as dates or numbers. Typical labels include "Frozen on," "Thawed on," "Best-before date," "Use-by date," and "Produced on," as well as the days of the week (Monday through Sunday). The second line can be set to display a date (format DD.MM.YYYY), a number, or a simple price.

Key facts: What is a HACCP labeler used for?

A HACCP labeler is used wherever food is processed, prepared, stored, or served and clear, visible labeling is required. This includes, in particular:

• Labeling shelf-life dates (best-before/use-by dates)
• Labeling freezing and thawing dates
• Labeling the day of the week in the kitchen
• Labeling production and usage details

Using this type of food labeling device supports internal organization and helps prevent mix-ups, the use of expired stock, and unnecessary waste. While it does not replace HACCP documentation, it is a practical tool for the daily implementation of labeling requirements.

Key facts: Where is this foodservice labeler typically used?

This foodservice labeler is designed for professional use and is suitable for:

• Foodservice establishments and restaurant kitchens
• Hotel kitchens
• Commercial kitchens and institutional catering
• Catering businesses
• Bakeries and butcher shops
• Cold rooms and cold storage facilities

Thanks to its manual operation, this kitchen labeler can be used in damp, cold, or confined spaces. As a non-electric device, it operates independently of technical systems and is ready for immediate use.

Technical details: What kind of device is it?

It is a manual HACCP labeler—sometimes referred to as a foodservice labeling gun or a stamp-style labeler. The device uses labels measuring approx. 26 × 16 mm and is designed for text and date marking, rather than barcodes or digital process chains.

With its fixed text selection for the top line, this text-and-date labeler is particularly well-suited for standardized workflows. Unnecessary characters can be hidden so that only relevant information appears on the label. This HACCP labeler for the foodservice industry is a robust, manual device used to mark food products with shelf-life, daily, and production information. It is an ideal solution wherever clear visual labeling, ease of use, and independent operation (without software) are required.
