Wrap Around Labeling Machine

SUNHAN wrap-around labeling machine is an automated device capable of applying labels completely and smoothly to the entire outer circumferential surface of a labeling object. It is suitable for containers of various geometric shapes—including cylindrical, square, hexagonal, conical, and others.

Common Labeling Objects & Challenges

Round Bottle/Jar

The beginning and end of label are easy to misalign when the dispensing speed is not synchronized with the bottle rotation, which can lead to uneven seams, wrinkles, or air bubbles.

Conical Bottles

Narrow top and wide bottom design makes pressure is uneven during bottle rotation, this will cause label wrinkles .

Hexagon/Square Bottles

The rotation is not smooth enough during wrap around labeling process , Bottle may may stutter, causing wrinkles on the label surface.

Irregular Cylindrical Bottles

Cannot rotate smoothly (or cannot rotate at all) during wrap around labeling. Additionally, pressure is uneven on recessed areas of the bottle surface, which easily causes wrinkles.

Small Vials or Syringes

Too small and light, difficult to keep upright and convey steadily. High labeling accuracy and automated labeling objects feeding are also required.

Featured Products For Wrap Around Labeling

SUNHAN Different Wrap around Labeling System

Round Bottle Labeling System

Uses a 3-roller label applicator. Bottles are rotated by driven rollers, wrapping the label evenly around the circumference. There is no misalignment between beginning and end of the label.

Conical Bottle Labeling System:

Similar to round bottle labeling systems, it is recommended to use SUNHAN customized three-roller labeling machine for conical bottles. The driving roller and label roll winding structure are specially customized according to the bottle’s taper, ensuring even force during wrap around labeling.

Square/Irregular Cylindrical Bottles Labeling System

SUNHAN wrap around labeling machine uses a bottom mold matched to the bottle shape to hold it in place. A top cylinder applies pressure, while a motor drives the mold to rotate the bottle. Side rollers then ensure the label is applied evenly and smoothly around the circumference. This kind of wrap around labeling machine is suitable for a wide range of containers, making it ideal not only for bottles but also as a jar labeling machine for products like jam and honey.

Vial & Syringe Labeling System

Vials or syringe are with unstable base to keep upright during conveying.That is why SUNHAN horizontal labeling machine will be the good choice. Through this labeling system, vials or syringes are positioned horizontally on a roller conveyor. Once the label’s leading edge is applied, an upper side belt engages to rotate the containers through friction, allowing the label to be evenly and smoothly wrapped around their circumference.

SUNHAN wrap around labeler is usually usedl for packaging round bottles, glass jars, metal cans, and other cylindrical containers.

2. Can a wrap around labeling machine handle different bottle sizes?

Yes, most SUNHAN wrap around labeling machines support multiple bottle sizes with similar shape, but manual adjustment or recipe settings may be required for different diameters and heights .

3. Can conical bottles be labeled using a wrap around labeling machine?

Standard machines are not ideal for conical bottles. But SUNHAN customized three-roller system is recommended.

4. Is it possible to integrate a wrap around labeling machine into a production line?

Yes, it can be integrated with filling machines, capping machines, and bottle unscrambler to form a fully automated production line.

5. What industries commonly use wrap around labeling machines?

They are widely used in food & beverage, cosmetics, and daily chemical industries.

6. What factors should be considered when choosing a wrap around labeling machine?

Container type, label material, production speed, label size, and other customization requirement should be considered when choosing the wrap around labeler.

7. Is it possible to print batch number or production date on labels during wrap around labeling process?

Yes,SUNHAN labeling machine can be equipped with an optional date coder, such as a thermal transfer printer, inkjet printer or laser coder, to print production dates, batch numbers directly on the labels.

8. Can the labeling position be aligned with bottle caps or specific features?

Yes, for applications that require precise alignment (such as aligning the label with a cap or logo), SUNHAN wrap around labeling machine can be equipped with a vision inspection system to detect positioning points and ensure accurate label placement.

9.Does the jar labeling machine support full wrap labeling on jars?

Yes, some of SUNHAN jar labeling machine supports wrap around labeling for different types of jars , ensuring the label is evenly applied around the entire surface of the jar without wrinkles or bubbles.

10. What should I do if labeling issues occur during full wrap labeling?

If you encounter issues such as misalignment or wrinkles during full wrap labeling, SUNHAN team can provide guidance through videos, manuals, or remote support to help you quickly resolve the problem.
