What it does

Manual labelling crews are slow, fatigue badly, and place labels crooked after a few hours. An auto labeller applies one or two labels per unit at 60–120 units a minute, with consistent placement and zero rework. Works for round bottles (wrap-around), flat boxes (top-and-side), or pouches (front-back).

How it works

Step by step

  1. 01

    Product enters on a conveyor and triggers a photoelectric sensor.

  2. 02

    A servo motor advances the label web; the peel-edge separates the label from its backing.

  3. 03

    For round containers: a pinch roller spins the bottle while the label wipes on.

  4. 04

    For flat surfaces: a sponge or brush press lays the label and smooths it.

  5. 05

    A second sensor verifies presence; missing labels trigger a reject pusher.

  6. 06

    Roll change takes under two minutes — operators load and re-thread without tools.
