Top and bottom label applicator selection for flat packs and trays: what to check before choosing a labeller.

Top and bottom labelling systems are useful for products that need labels on two faces in one pass, including cartons, sleeves, trays and flat packs.

The correct route is normally decided by bottle shape, label position, label roll details, target output and the way the machine will connect with filling, capping, coding or conveyor equipment.

For a more accurate recommendation, send photos or samples of the container together with label dimensions, roll direction, material, backing paper and the number of labels needed per product.
