Sato Judo 22 Price Gun – Two-Line Hand Labeler
The Sato Judo 22 is a two-line hand labeler from Sato’s acclaimed JUDO series — the flexible, user-friendly labeling system built around a unique platen mechanism that supports a wide variety of label shapes and sizes. The Judo 22 prints eight numeric characters over eight numeric characters, letting you display two independent pieces of variable information — price and date, price and code, or regular and sale price — on a single label in one trigger pull. With its wide-open loading path, mess-free capsule ink roller, and precise label feed registration, the Judo 22 delivers professional two-line labeling with remarkable ease of use.

Compatible Labels
The Sato Judo 22 uses 22 mm × 16 mm labels, available in white, yellow, black & white, and red & yellow color combinations. Labels are sold in multi-roll boxes, and custom pre-printed labels with your store name or promotional message are available. The Judo 22 shares its capsule ink roller with the Sato Kendo 22, so a single ink consumable serves both models — a practical advantage for stores running a mixed fleet.
Why Choose the Sato Judo 22?
Two-line labelers often trade ease of use for capability — the Sato Judo 22 refuses that compromise. The wide-open loading bay and drop-in capsule ink roller make it as simple to maintain as a basic one-line gun, while the platen mechanism and positive-registration feed slots deliver the precise, consistent two-line print that professional operations demand. Coming from Sato — the original inventor of the hand labeler — the Judo 22 offers outstanding value for any business stepping up from single-line marking to richer two-line labeling.
