Pressure-sensitive labelling depends on label roll and container.

Pressure-sensitive bottle labellers apply self-adhesive labels using a label head, sensor and wipe-down method suited to the pack. The label material, liner, unwind direction and label pitch all matter.

The container then determines handling: round bottles often suit wraparound application, while flat, oval and square containers need controlled front/back presentation.

Buyer questions

Questions before choosing a bottle labeller.

Which bottle labelling machine route is suitable?

The suitable route depends on container shape, label position, label roll, required output and whether the machine is bench-top, compact automatic or fully inline.

What details are needed for a quote?

Bottle or container dimensions, photographs, label size, roll direction, label material, target output and any coding or conveyor requirements are useful for a fast recommendation.

Can clear or transparent labels be used?

Clear labels may be possible when suitable transparent label sensing is specified and tested against the real label material and backing paper.

Can the labeller be integrated into a production line?

Automatic systems can usually be specified with conveyors and surrounding filling, capping, coding or inspection equipment when line details are supplied.
