TOWA SAMURAI GX 3-Line Hand Labeler – Made in Japan
Three-Line Manual Label Printing with Up to 10 Digits Per Line
The TOWA SAMURAI GX is a three-line manual hand labeler manufactured in Japan, designed for applications where more information needs to be printed on each adhesive label than a conventional one-line or two-line hand labeler can accommodate.
TOWA specifies the SAMURAI GX as a three-line model capable of printing up to 10 digits on the Top, Middle and Bottom lines, depending on the selected print-band layout.
The GX uses labels measuring approximately:
30 mm wide × 18 mm high
Its three-line format can support a variety of manually selected information depending on the exact print-band configuration.
The SAMURAI GX is mechanically operated and requires no electricity, batteries, software or network connection.
Made in Japan
The TOWA SAMURAI GX is made in Japan.
TOWA Company Limited is a Japanese manufacturer based in Tokyo.
TOWA states that its products are made in Japan and subjected to 100% inspection under its control system.
For customers specifically seeking a Japanese-made mechanical hand labeler, the SAMURAI GX provides a three-line labeling format for retail, food, manufacturing, packaging, warehouse and general product-identification applications.
Where formal country-of-origin documentation is required for a tender, export transaction or regulated procurement, the origin should also be verified against the actual supplied unit and applicable documentation.
Overview
The SAMURAI GX combines:
Mechanical Printing
and
Label Application
in one handheld device.
A typical workflow is:
Set Required Characters
↓
Load Compatible 30 × 18 mm Label Roll
↓
Squeeze Handle
↓
Print Up to Three Lines
↓
Printed Label Is Presented
↓
Apply Label to Product or Package
This makes the GX fundamentally different from a label applicator that only dispenses labels that have already been printed.

Three-Line Printing
The defining feature of the SAMURAI GX is its three-line print capability.
The label provides separate:
Top Line
Middle Line
Bottom Line
TOWA specifies printing of up to 10 digits on each line, depending on the selected band layout.
This provides considerably more information capacity than a basic single-line price gun.
Up to 10 Digits Per Line
TOWA's current GX specification states:
Top Line: Up to 10 digits
Middle Line: Up to 10 digits
Bottom Line: Up to 10 digits
The actual characters, symbols and formatting available depend on the fitted print-band configuration.
Therefore, the phrase “10 digits per line” should not be interpreted as meaning that every GX configuration contains exactly the same numbers, letters, currency symbols or date characters.
The required band layout should be confirmed before ordering.
30 × 18 mm Labels
TOWA specifies the SAMURAI GX label size as:
30 mm wide × 18 mm high
This larger format provides sufficient area for the three-line print arrangement.
When purchasing replacement labels, confirm that they are specifically suitable for the SAMURAI GX.
A label should not be assumed compatible merely because its outside dimensions are approximately 30 × 18 mm.
Feed construction, liner and label format also matter.
Available Label Types
TOWA identifies several label types for the SAMURAI GX platform, including:
-
Standard
-
Frozen
-
Removable
-
Waterproof
-
Strong adhesive
This allows the consumable to be selected according to the intended application rather than using one adhesive construction for every environment.
Exact availability should be confirmed before ordering.
Standard Labels
Standard labels can be considered for ordinary indoor applications such as:
-
Retail products
-
General merchandise
-
Boxes
-
Packaging
-
Internal identification
-
Product marking
Surface compatibility should still be checked.
Frozen Labels
Frozen-label options may be considered for applications involving low-temperature products.
Potential environments include:
-
Frozen-food packaging
-
Cold-storage products
-
Refrigerated distribution
Actual adhesive performance depends on factors such as:
-
Application temperature
-
Storage temperature
-
Surface condition
-
Moisture
-
Packaging material
The exact consumable specification should therefore be verified for the application.
Removable Labels
Removable labels may be useful for:
-
Temporary pricing
-
Promotional pricing
-
Short-term identification
-
Temporary inventory marking
-
Product information that needs later removal
Actual removability depends on the surface, adhesive and duration of application.
Waterproof Labels
TOWA identifies waterproof labels among the available GX label types.
These may be useful where the label is exposed to moisture.
However, “waterproof” should not automatically be interpreted as meaning suitability for every:
-
Outdoor environment
-
Chemical exposure
-
Immersion application
-
Washdown process
-
Extreme-temperature environment
The exact label construction should be checked against the customer's intended use.
Strong-Adhesive Labels
Strong-adhesive label options may be considered where greater adhesion is required.
Possible applications include:
-
Cartons
-
Packaging
-
Longer-term identification
-
Difficult surfaces
The correct adhesive should be matched to the actual surface.
Print-Band Configuration
The print-band configuration is one of the most important things to verify before ordering a SAMURAI GX.
Different customers may require very different layouts.
For example:
Top Line: Production Date
Middle Line: Use-By Date
Bottom Line: Price
Another application might require:
Top Line: Product Code
Middle Line: Lot Number
Bottom Line: Price
Another might require:
Top Line: Weight
Middle Line: Date
Bottom Line: Price
These are examples of possible information structures only.
The exact characters and symbols available depend on the selected band layout.
Pricing Applications
The SAMURAI GX can be considered where pricing needs to appear together with other product information.
Potential environments include:
-
Supermarkets
-
Grocery stores
-
Mini markets
-
Convenience stores
-
Hardware shops
-
General retail
-
Food shops
-
Produce departments
The required currency symbols must be verified against the selected print bands.
Date Marking Applications
Depending on print-band configuration, the GX can be considered for manual date information such as:
-
Production date
-
Packing date
-
Internal processing date
-
Use-by date
-
Other manually selected date references
The required date format should be confirmed before ordering.
For example:
DD/MM/YY
and
MM/DD/YY
require different operational consideration.
Never assume that a particular date format is supported without checking the selected bands.
Product Coding Applications
The three-line format can also be useful for short manually selected codes.
Possible information may include:
-
Product codes
-
Batch references
-
Lot references
-
Department codes
-
Internal identifiers
-
Short serial references
The GX is a mechanical hand labeler.
It should not be confused with an electronic coding, serialization or database-driven printing system.
Food and Grocery Applications
The three-line format may be useful where several pieces of short information need to appear together.
Possible applications include:
-
Product identification
-
Price
-
Production date
-
Packing date
-
Use-by information
-
Weight
-
Batch reference
For regulated food products, the business remains responsible for ensuring that the label content, date format, language and labeling procedure meet applicable requirements.
The SAMURAI GX is the printing tool; it does not determine regulatory compliance.
Retail Applications
Potential retail uses include:
-
Product pricing
-
Promotional pricing
-
Product coding
-
Date marking
-
Weight information
-
Internal identification
-
Multi-field product labels
Three lines provide greater flexibility where one or two lines would not contain enough information.
Manufacturing Applications
Potential uses include:
-
Production dates
-
Batch identification
-
Lot references
-
Product codes
-
Inspection information
-
Internal tracking
-
Short serial references
For system-generated traceability or barcode requirements, an electronic label printer should normally be evaluated instead.
Warehouse Applications
Potential warehouse uses include:
-
Internal stock codes
-
Date marking
-
Batch references
-
Product identification
-
Temporary inventory information
-
Multi-field manual labels
For data generated directly from ERP, WMS or inventory software, an electronic barcode printer would generally be more appropriate.
No Power Required
The SAMURAI GX is mechanically operated.
It requires no:
-
AC electricity
-
Batteries
-
Charging
-
Computer
-
Printer driver
-
Software
-
Wi-Fi
-
Bluetooth
-
Network connection
This makes it portable for manual labeling tasks.
SAMURAI GX vs SAMURAI GS
TOWA SAMURAI GS
Print Lines: 1
Designed for simple pricing, dating and coding.
Best where only one short line is required.
TOWA SAMURAI GX
Print Lines: 3
Label Size: 30 × 18 mm
Up to 10 digits on each line depending on band layout.
Suitable where substantially more information must appear on one manually printed label.
SAMURAI GX vs SAMURAI GL
TOWA SAMURAI GL
Print Lines: 2
Label Size: 21.6 × 17 mm
Suitable where two information fields are sufficient.
TOWA SAMURAI GX
Print Lines: 3
Label Size: 30 × 18 mm
Up to 10 digits per line depending on configuration.
Suitable where three separate information fields are required.
Choose the model according to the required printed information rather than simply choosing the model with the greatest number of lines.
Hand Labeler vs Label Applicator
The distinction is important.
TOWA SAMURAI GX
Prints information onto compatible labels and presents them for manual application.
TOWA APN / APF Series
Applies labels that have already been printed.
Therefore, a customer requiring manual printing of price, date or codes should evaluate the SAMURAI range rather than treating APN/APF as equivalent products.
Hand Labeler vs Barcode Printer
The SAMURAI GX is also different from an electronic barcode label printer.
A barcode printer can typically produce:
-
1D barcodes
-
QR codes
-
Variable text
-
Graphics
-
Database-driven information
-
ERP/WMS-generated data
The SAMURAI GX is intended for short information manually selected through mechanical print bands.
It should not be marketed as a replacement for an electronic barcode printer where automated or variable digital data is required.
Purpose of Use
The SAMURAI GX is designed to make repetitive three-line manual labeling straightforward.
A typical process is:
Set Required Information
↓
Squeeze Handle
↓
Print Three-Line Label
↓
Dispense Label
↓
Apply to Product
This may be suitable where a computerized label-printing system would add unnecessary complexity.

Things to Verify Before Ordering
For SAMURAI GX, we strongly recommend providing an example of the exact desired finished label.
For example:
TOP: PROD 16/09/26
MIDDLE: EXP 16/10/26
BOTTOM: AED 25.00
or another required format.
The example allows the available band layout to be checked before supply.
Do not assume every GX can print every combination of letters, numbers, date symbols and currency characters.
