Technical specifications
Reference data for specification discussions.
Final machine dimensions, throughput and options are confirmed against the bottle, label roll, samples and surrounding line equipment.
Information to send

Integration
Specified as a machine or as part of a line.
Lancing can supply labelling machinery as a standalone unit or integrate it into broader packaging lines with filling, capping, coding, conveyors, inspection and end-of-line handling.
Buyer questions
Questions before specifying this labeller
How quickly can I get advice on this machine?
Send container dimensions, label details and target output. Lancing can normally narrow the correct labelling route from samples, photos and line information.
Can this labeller be supplied as part of a full line?
Yes. Lancing can discuss integration with filling, capping, coding, inspection, conveyors and end-of-line handling.
Do I need to send samples before ordering?
Samples are strongly recommended because bottle shape, taper, label material, roll direction and handling stability affect the final configuration.

Send samples, label details and speed requirements so the machine can be matched to your container rather than selected from a generic model number.
Specification support
How Lancing checks a Automatic Twin Side Labeller project before quotation.
This added section gives the practical selection detail searchers need without changing the existing machine page above.
Suitable work
The Automatic Twin Side Labeller route is most relevant to flat, oval, square and shaped bottles where separate front and rear labels need to be applied in one pass. It should be checked against the actual container rather than only a drawing, because presentation, base stability and label surface can change how consistently the label is applied.
Machine control points
Selection normally depends on side guidance, label head alignment, front/back registration and container presentation. Where clear labels are involved, Lancing should review the label material and backing liner so the sensing method is suitable before the machine is ordered.
Changeover and access
Changeover planning should include bottle guides, label roll loading, sensor position, label height, job memory or operator settings where fitted, and safe access to the label path for routine cleaning and roll changes.
| Information to send | Why Lancing needs it | Related page |
|---|---|---|
| Container dimensions, photos and sample bottles | Confirms whether the pack can be controlled repeatably through the labelling point. | Sample testing |
| Label width, length, gap, web width and core diameter | Confirms the label roll can feed and present correctly through the label head. | Label roll guide |
| Clear label, metallic label or unusual liner details | Identifies whether specialist sensing or extra setup checks are required. | Clear-label sensing |
| Batch code, date code or barcode position | Shows whether coding needs to be integrated before, during or after label application. | Coding integration |
| Target output and upstream/downstream equipment | Helps match the labeller to the rest of the line and avoid bottlenecks. | Compare labelling routes |
When another labeller may be better
If the bottle is genuinely cylindrical and needs a single wrap label, compare this with the wraparound labelling page.
Use the buyer guide to compare container shape, automation level and label position before confirming the preferred route.
Sample trial note
Actual placement-accuracy trial results, customer case studies and sample test data should only be published when Lancing has verified first-party evidence. In the absence of recorded figures, the safe approach is to define a test pack, label material, target output and acceptance criteria before running samples.
Ask Lancing to check whether this automatic front and back labeller suits your pack.
Send product photos, label details, line layout and the output you need.
Twin-side questions
Questions about orientation, two label heads and line conditions.
A twin-side labeller depends on repeatable pack presentation before, between and after both label application points. Browse the bottle labelling questions hub for deeper technical answers.
How are asymmetrical bottles oriented before front and back labels are applied?
The handling system must use repeatable physical features such as stable side panels, a base profile or a controlled infeed orientation. A camera or special orienting device may be considered for applications that cannot be presented mechanically, but suitability has to be confirmed from the real bottle and required label datum.
What changes when the front and rear labels use different materials or dimensions?
Each label head may need its own web path, sensor setup, dispense position and wipe-down adjustment. Different face stocks or liners can behave differently even when the labels are visually matched. Both production rolls should therefore be supplied for trial, and each roll specification should be controlled separately.
How should front-to-back registration be checked after a format change?
Approve a first-off bottle against the agreed datum, then check several packs taken after normal running has stabilised. Measure each label and their relationship using the same method as the original acceptance trial. The guide to accuracy and repeatability explains why one good sample is not enough.
Which line conditions can disturb a twin-side labeller even when both label heads are set correctly?
Irregular bottle spacing, conveyor transfers, guide pressure, unstable fill, cap interference and downstream back-pressure can all change pack orientation. Troubleshooting should therefore include the path into and out of the label heads, not only sensor and dispense settings.
