Rectangular containers need stable presentation.

Rectangular bottle labelling normally requires the container to be presented squarely to the labelling heads. Product handling, guides and label wipe-down are key parts of the specification.

A twin-side labeller can apply front and back labels in one pass where the bottle shape, conveyor setup and label size are suitable.

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.
