Front and back labeling usually needs a twin-side bottle labeller.

Buyers may search for front and back labeling machines when they need two labels applied on opposite faces of a bottle. In UK terminology this is normally a front and back labelling machine or twin-side labeller.

The machine must guide the container so the front and back panels are presented accurately. This is especially important for oval, square, flat and squeezable plastic bottles.

Lancing can help specify a twin-side machine based on sample containers and label details.

Buyer questions

Questions before choosing a bottle labeller.

Is labeling the same as labelling?

Yes. The spelling differs, but the machine requirement is the same.

Can one pass apply both labels?

A twin-side front/back labeller can often apply both labels in one conveyor pass.

Can round bottles have front and back labels?

Yes, but spacing and orientation need to be checked.

What details are needed?

Send bottle samples, label dimensions, target output and line photos if available.
