TOWA SAMURAI GS Hand Labeler in UAE
The TOWA SAMURAI GS is a lightweight single-line manual hand labeler designed for everyday pricing, date marking and basic coding applications.
TOWA officially describes the SAMURAI GS as a lightweight one-line labeler suitable for pricing, dating and coding.
The model is manufactured in Japan, and current specialist product references identify the SAMURAI GS as a Japanese-made hand labeler.
Overview
The SAMURAI GS is designed for simple manual marking tasks where an operator needs to print information directly onto compatible adhesive labels and apply them immediately.
A typical workflow is:
Set Print Characters
↓
Load Compatible Label Roll
↓
Squeeze Handle
↓
Print Label
↓
Peel / Present Label
↓
Apply to Product or Package
No computer, software, network or external power source is required.
Made in Japan
The TOWA SAMURAI GS is made in Japan.
This is an important part of the product identity and is worth retaining on the NEOTECH® page because TOWA is a Japanese manufacturer and specialist current references identify the SAMURAI GS as Japanese-made.
For procurement, the exact product origin should still be verified against the actual supplied unit and packaging where a formal country-of-origin declaration is required.

Technical Specifications
Manufacturer: TOWA
Model: SAMURAI GS
Product Type: Manual Hand Labeler
Printing: Single Line
Primary Applications: Pricing, Dating, Coding
Label Size: Commonly listed at approximately 21 × 12 mm
Printing Characters: Configuration can vary by print-band version
Power Requirement: None
Printing Method: Mechanical ink roller / print bands
Consumables Required: Compatible labels and ink roller
Country of Manufacture: Japan
The exact print-band character count should be confirmed against the specific SAMURAI GS configuration supplied because current third-party references differ between 6- and 8-position versions. TOWA’s own current English product page confirms the one-line positioning but does not publish a detailed character-count table on the page reviewed.
Single-Line Printing
The SAMURAI GS is intended for single-line printing.
This makes it appropriate for simple information such as:
- Price
- Date
- Batch reference
- Basic item code
- Short numeric identifier
If more information is required on each label, TOWA also offers multi-line models such as the SAMURAI GL and GX. TOWA identifies the GL as a two-line model and GX as a three-line model.
Pricing Applications
One of the main uses of the SAMURAI GS is product price marking.
Possible environments include:
- Grocery stores
- Convenience stores
- Mini markets
- Retail shops
- Hardware stores
- Bookstores
- General merchandise stores
- Small warehouses
The operator sets the required price using the print bands, squeezes the handle and applies the printed label to the product or packaging.
Dating Applications
TOWA also positions the SAMURAI GS for dating applications.
Potential uses may include:
- Packing dates
- Production dates
- Internal stock dates
- Date-based identification
Whether the available print bands are suitable for a specific date format depends on the exact character configuration.
Coding Applications
The SAMURAI GS may also be used for short internal numeric codes.
Possible uses include:
- Product codes
- Department codes
- Batch references
- Internal inventory identifiers
- Short numeric stock references
The SAMURAI GS should not be confused with a barcode printer or electronic coder.
It is a mechanical hand labeler for relatively short printed information.
Label Size
Current label compatibility references commonly identify the SAMURAI GS with labels approximately:
21 mm wide × 12 mm high
One current compatibility chart lists the TOWA SAMURAI GS as a one-line labeler using 21 × 12 mm labels.
Another current specialist label supplier lists labels for the TOWA Samurai GS at approximately 21 × 12 mm as well.
Because third-party label specifications can vary slightly by market and die-cut format, the exact label roll should still be matched to the actual gun before ordering large quantities.
Ink Roller
The SAMURAI GS uses an ink roller to transfer print from the mechanical print bands onto the label.
The ink roller is a consumable part and will eventually need replacement.
Before ordering replacement ink rollers, verify:
- TOWA SAMURAI GS compatibility
- Correct ink roller model
- Ink colour
- Quantity required
Using the correct roller helps maintain readable printing.
Manual Operation
The SAMURAI GS works mechanically and requires:
- No electricity
- No batteries
- No software
- No network
- No printer driver
This makes it suitable for simple, mobile labeling tasks.
Retail Applications
The SAMURAI GS may suit:
- Product price labels
- Sale-price labels
- Date labels
- Internal coding
- Shelf-preparation work
- Small shop labeling
- Stockroom identification
It is most suitable where the information to be printed is short and repetitive.
Food and Grocery Applications
Possible uses include:
- Price labels
- Packing-date labels
- Internal date codes
- Batch references
For regulated food traceability or expiry labeling, the customer should ensure that the available print format and label material satisfy the applicable operational and legal requirements.
The hand labeler itself does not provide compliance or traceability software.
Warehouse Applications
The SAMURAI GS may also be useful for basic warehouse tasks such as:
- Temporary item identification
- Internal numeric coding
- Short location references
- Basic price or stock labels
For barcode or system-generated inventory labels, an electronic barcode printer would generally be more appropriate.
SAMURAI GS vs SAMURAI GL
SAMURAI GS
- Single-line printing
- Lightweight
- Suitable for pricing, dating and coding
SAMURAI GL
- Two-line printing
- Suitable where more information is required on each label
TOWA identifies these as separate hand-labeler models.
SAMURAI GS vs SAMURAI GX
SAMURAI GS
- One line
SAMURAI GX
- Three lines
- More versatile where multiple lines of information are required
The correct model should be chosen according to how much information needs to be printed on each label.
Hand Labeler vs Label Applicator
This distinction is important.
The SAMURAI GS is a hand labeler.
It:
- prints information onto compatible labels
- dispenses the printed label for application
By contrast, TOWA APN and APF label applicators:
- do not print
- only apply labels that have already been printed
So these are different product categories.
Purpose of Use
The TOWA SAMURAI GS is intended for simple manual printing and application of labels.
A typical workflow is:
Set Price / Date / Code
↓
Squeeze Handle
↓
Print Label
↓
Apply Label
This makes it suitable for repetitive manual labeling where a full desktop printer would be unnecessary.
Things to Verify Before Ordering
