Price Guns
Lynx-C8 Date or Weight Price Gun (26mm x 12mm label format)
The Lynx-C8 is a handheld, one-line labelling gun designed for fast, consistent marking on self-adhesive labels. It’s commonly used for pricing and date/batch style coding where you need clear, repeatable numeric information on packs, trays, and products. The C8 format is widely referenced as an 8-digit, one-line numeric print layout, making it a practical choice for straightforward codes that staff can apply quickly at the point of packing, prep, or sale.
Key Features
One-line, 8-digit numeric format
Designed around a simple one-line layout that sellers describe as an 8-digit numeric configuration—ideal for clear price, date, or batch-style codes without multi-line complexity.
26mm x 12mm label size compatibility
Commonly paired with labels in the 26mm x 12mm format, a popular size that balances readability with efficient label usage on a wide range of packaging.
Fast, repeatable application
A hand labeller helps standardise how information is applied across teams—useful when multiple staff members need to mark items consistently throughout the day.
Practical for retail and back-of-house workflows
Often used in environments where speed matters—such as retail shelves, stock rooms, food prep areas, and packing benches—so items can be labelled as they move through your process.
Simple, handheld operation
As a manual labelling gun, it’s intended to be easy to pick up and use for routine labelling tasks without needing powered equipment.

Lynx-C8 Date or Weight Price Gun — Full Product Guide
Hand labellers are a simple way to keep product marking consistent, legible, and fast. The Lynx-C8 is positioned by multiple suppliers as a one-line, 8-digit numeric labelling gun, commonly used for pricing and date code style applications. If you’re choosing a labeller for day-to-day operations, the key is matching the print format and label size to the information you need to display and the surfaces you’ll be applying labels to.
How It Works
The labeller prints a numeric code onto a label and applies it to the product or packaging in one action. This style of tool is typically used when you want staff to label items quickly and consistently—without handwriting or separate printing steps. The Lynx C8 is described by suppliers as a one-line, 8-digit numeric labeller, which suits straightforward codes that need to be read at a glance.
Materials and Construction
As a handheld labelling gun, the focus is on practical day-to-day handling: a comfortable grip, a trigger mechanism for repeated use, and a label path designed for routine roll changes. Exact construction materials and component specifications can vary by production run and supplier listing, so if you need a particular compliance detail for your site, it’s best to confirm with the product documentation supplied with the unit.
Label Format and Print Layout
Suppliers commonly associate the Lynx C8 with a 26mm x 12mm label size and an 8-digit, one-line numeric layout. This combination is popular because it provides enough space for clear numbers while remaining compact on packaging. When planning your code, consider how many digits you need for your price, date, or batch format and keep the layout consistent across your operation.
Surface and Packaging Compatibility
Hand-applied labels are typically used on common packaging surfaces such as cartons, sleeves, bags, and wrapped items. Real-world performance depends on the label stock you choose and the surface condition (clean, dry, and free from dust or oil helps adhesion). If you’re labelling chilled or handled items, selecting an appropriate label adhesive and ensuring good application pressure will improve results.
Health and Safety
For safe use in busy environments, keep fingers clear of the dispensing area during operation and store the labeller where it won’t be dropped or damaged. In food prep or hygiene-controlled areas, follow your site procedures for keeping tools clean and preventing cross-contamination. Always use the labeller as intended and replace consumables according to your workflow needs.
Ideal Applications and Use Cases
Retail pricing: Apply consistent price labels quickly to packaged goods and promotional items.
Date/batch coding: Use numeric codes to support stock rotation and internal traceability.
Back-of-house organisation: Mark cartons, trays, or packs for picking, packing, and dispatch processes.
High-throughput environments: A manual labeller can be a practical choice where staff need to label items continuously throughout the day.
Maintenance, Cleaning and Care
To keep print quality consistent, replace ink rollers when the print becomes faint and store the labeller in a clean, dry place. If labels begin to feed poorly, check that the roll is loaded correctly and that the label path is free from torn backing paper. Routine checks—especially in high-volume use—help reduce downtime and misprints.
Case Study (Typical Workflow Example)
A small packing bench team needs to apply numeric codes to outgoing items for quick identification at goods-out. By using a one-line numeric labeller, staff can apply the same style of code across all packs, improving consistency and reducing the time spent handwriting or reprinting labels. The compact label format helps keep packs tidy while still providing clear information for internal handling.
Who is it for?
- Retailers who need fast, consistent numeric pricing labels
- Food and prep environments using numeric date-style codes for rotation
- Warehousing and packing teams needing simple batch/lot identification
- Any operation that benefits from quick, repeatable label application
Colours / Features Available
This product page may represent a configurable listing (for example, different bundles or consumables). Feature availability can vary by variant and supplier pack configuration. Check the selected option for what’s included.
Sizes Available
As a labelling gun, sizing typically relates to the label format it uses rather than the tool itself. The Lynx C8 is commonly referenced with 26mm x 12mm labels. If your workflow requires a different label size or layout, consider confirming compatible label rolls and print formats before ordering.
Need help choosing labels or consumables?
If you’re matching this labeller to existing label rolls or planning a new coding format, ensure the label size and the number of digits in your code align with the one-line layout described for the Lynx C8.
