Tapered bottle labelling machine advice.
Check whether your tapered bottle needs wraparound, front/back or specialist handling before choosing a labeller.
UK specification adviceAutomatic and semi-automaticRound, flat, oval and shaped packs
Tapered bottles need early testing because label tracking can drift.
A tapered bottle has a changing diameter, which can pull a label out of line as the container rotates. This is why tapered containers should be checked carefully before assuming a standard wraparound route.
Sometimes a short label on a controlled area is acceptable. In other cases a front or back panel, alternative label shape or extra handling may be a better route. The right answer depends on the degree of taper and label coverage.
Send bottle samples and label artwork early so label shape, application position and machine handling can be considered together.
Likely machine route
- Sample testing for taper and label skew
- Short wraparound label if taper is mild
- Panel label application where wrap is unsuitable
- Guides or rollers matched to container shape
- Label artwork review before roll production
Quote details to prepare
- Diameter at top and bottom of label area
- Label artwork and label shape
- Container material and surface finish
- Required label tolerance
- Filled and empty container samples if possible

Questions before choosing a bottle labeller.
Can tapered bottles be labelled automatically?
Some can, but taper and label coverage need to be tested before specification.
Why do labels skew on tapered bottles?
The bottle surface moves at different effective diameters, which can pull the label out of alignment.
Should labels be shaped for tapered bottles?
Often a shaped label is needed to sit correctly on a tapered surface.
Can Lancing advise before labels are printed?
Yes. Early review can avoid buying label rolls that are hard to apply accurately.
