Container stability
Flat bottles need consistent orientation and guide control so labels do not skew as the bottle moves through the conveyor.
Flat bottle labelling
Flat bottle front and back labelling machines
Flat bottles need controlled presentation through the labelling station so front and rear labels land squarely on the correct panel. A twin-side labeller uses side labelling heads with guide rails and hold-down control to apply two labels during one pass.
Selection points
What to check before choosing a machine
- Suitable for flat plastic, glass or metal containers used in cosmetics, household, chemical and food products.
- Can support front branding labels and rear ingredient, barcode or safety labels.
- Guide rails, side belts and pressure plates are selected around container width, height and stability.
- Coding and inspection can be planned around the same line layout where required.
Label registration
Front and back label start points need setting around bottle face, label gap, sensor type and product speed.
Changeover planning
Width, height and pressure settings should be easy to repeat across different SKUs and label sizes.
