Towa Samurai GL Price Gun – Two-Line Hand Labeler
The Towa Samurai GL is Towa Sangyo’s two-line hand labeler — a precision-crafted, Japanese-made price gun that delivers 14 print positions across two lines on a 21 mm × 17 mm label. The GL builds on the legendary steel-frame durability of the Samurai GS and adds a second line of print, enabling operators to mark price alongside a date code, SKU, unit price, or promotional reference in a single, effortless trigger squeeze. Lightweight yet rugged, the Towa Samurai GL is one of the most respected two-line labelers in the market.

Why Choose the Towa Samurai GL?
The Towa Samurai GL earns high marks from long-term users for its steel-frame durability and the surprisingly lightweight feel of a two-line tool.

The external label and ink visibility is a practical feature that retail staff appreciate: they can see at a glance when a roll needs changing and reload in seconds without fumbling with a compartment cover. For businesses that need reliable two-line labeling day after day, the Towa Samurai GL is a proven, dependable choice.
