Compact front/back labelling
Space-saving front and back labelling route for bottles and containers where a full inline automatic line is not required.

Compact twin-side label application for lower-volume production, trials and factories with limited floorspace.
Technical specifications
Final machine dimensions, throughput and options are confirmed against the bottle, label roll, samples and surrounding line equipment.
Integration
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
Send container dimensions, label details and target output. Lancing can normally narrow the correct labelling route from samples, photos and line information.
Yes. Lancing can discuss integration with filling, capping, coding, inspection, conveyors and end-of-line handling.
Samples are strongly recommended because bottle shape, taper, label material, roll direction and handling stability affect the final configuration.
Speak to Lancing
Send samples, label details and speed requirements so the machine can be matched to your container rather than selected from a generic model number.
This added section gives the practical selection detail searchers need without changing the existing machine page above.
The Compact 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.
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 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 |
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.
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.
Send product photos, label details, line layout and the output you need.
Keep each head’s label-construction reference, reel details and approved sensing setup with the bottle-position settings. Recording only height and offset does not identify a change of film, adhesive or liner. Include the two artwork revisions and the accepted front/rear relationship.
After replacing either reel, compare a finished pack with the reference and confirm that the correct side is being applied. Record remaining usable labels per head when production ends so the next batch plan does not assume that both reels are equally full.
See label-construction comparison, reel-count planning and the reel specification worksheet. Use the existing contact route to review the proposed formats.

When space is limited, show the operating side, reel-change envelope, container infeed and outfeed, and the access needed to set both label heads. A compact layout should not force awkward web threading or conceal the point where an unstable bottle loses orientation.
