Label applicators for flat bottles and rectangular containers.
Specify front, back or twin-side label application for flat bottles that need accurate side presentation.
UK specification adviceAutomatic and semi-automaticRound, flat, oval and shaped packs
Flat bottles usually need controlled side presentation during labelling.
Unlike a round bottle, a flat bottle does not simply rotate for wraparound labelling. The pack must be held or guided so the flat label panel is presented to the label head in a consistent position.
For one-sided labelling, a single applicator may be enough. For front and back labels, a twin-side labeller is often the correct route, especially when the container needs to stay square on the conveyor.
Bottle width variation, panel recesses, squeezable plastic and caps or shoulders can all affect the handling design.
Likely machine route
- Single-side applicator for one label panel
- Twin-side front/back labeller for two label panels
- Side belts or guides for pack control
- Compact automatic machine for limited space
- Inline conveyor system for production lines
Quote details to prepare
- Bottle width, depth and height
- Label panel position and tolerance
- One label or front/back labels
- Whether the bottle is soft or rigid
- Photos of the bottle on the conveyor if available

Questions before choosing a bottle labeller.
Can a wraparound labeller label flat bottles?
Usually no. Flat bottles normally need side presentation rather than rotation.
Can both sides be labelled in one pass?
A twin-side front/back labeller can often apply both labels in a single conveyor pass.
What if the bottle is squeezable?
Soft bottles may need extra handling or guide design to avoid distortion during label application.
Do I need samples?
Samples are strongly recommended because flat bottle handling depends on the exact shape and stability.
