What Machine Is Used To Put Labels on Bottles

Many manufacturers are looking for machines that can apply unique labels on bottles to increase the brand's market share. As an important container, bottles can be divided into round bottles, oval bottles, square bottles, conical bottles or special-shaped bottles according to their shapes. Due to the different packaging products, the labeling machine may need to realize functions of security seals labeling, small non-freestanding bottles labeling. Below will introduce several kinds of bottles labeling. If you can not find the one you need or you have detailed packaging requirement of the machine, please send us email to get the customized packaging solution.

1. Single side/double side/wrap-around labeling on round bottles/jars

①Single side labeling

If you don’t have more labeling requirement and just need a labeler for the single side labeling on regular round bottles, we will recommend labeling machine with press belt. Bottles/Jars will roll through the pressing belt during transporting and complete labeling work. This is faster than other kind of labeling method.

②Double sides labeling & wrap-around labeling (end to end)

If you have the packaging requirement of double sides labeling or wrap-round labeling, then we will recommend the three roller labeling machine. For double sides labeling, the distance between front and back side labels can be adjusted according to production need. For wrap-around labeling(end to end), the labeling machine with press belt can realize this function as well, but the labeling accuracy will not so higher than the three roller labeling machine. The two sides of the label will be staggered at the junction, usually with an error of 2-3mm.The three roller labeling machine can reduce this error to 1mm.If you are not the end to end wrap-around labeling, your label only needs to cover three-quarters of the bottle or leave a distance at both ends of the label, then we will recommend the labeling machine with press belt.

2. Double side/wrap-around labeling on square bottles/jars 

①Double sides labeling

For double sides labeling on square/oval bottles, we will recommend labeling machine with below labeling structure, it is also suitable for single sides labeling on square/oval bottles. Another side labeling structure can stop work if you need the single side labeling.

②Wrap-around labeling

For wrap-around labeling on hexagonal bottles, we will recommend labeling machine with below labeling structure. There is a roller on the top side to fix bottles, and bottom plate will rotate bottles and finish labeling.

3. Tamper evident labeling on round bottles

Some of manufactures will need to label tamper evident stickers on round bottles/jars. Labeling machine for this kind of self-adhesive stickers is normally equipped with two labeling structure, one for bottles/jars body, one for bottle caps.

①The tamper-evident label is a complete

 ②The tamper-evident label is two separate 

4. One bottle with two label stickers on different position

If you need to label two stickers on different position of one bottles, like jam/honey bottles, some manufacturers may stick one labels on bottles caps, and stick another labels on bottle body. Or like the beer bottle labeling, one for bottle body, and another one for bottle neck. Then we will recommend machine with below labeling structures.

5. Labeling machine for conical bottle.

Above bottle labeling machine is for bottles with identical and parallel rounded tops and bottoms. But the conical bottles is different from this. Not only the labeling structure, but also the label winding structure will be customized according to the bottles. Tapered labeling machine can apply stickers to conical bottles perfectly.

6. Labeling machine for small non-freestanding bottles

This kind of labeling machine can not stand up during transporting, and as they are so small, it is hard and troublesome to put them one by one onto the conveyor. Then horizontal labeling machine with bottle grouping machine can solve this problem perfectly. Bottles can be separated and arranged one by one and finish labeling work.
