How to choose a bottle labelling machine

Choosing a bottle labelling machine starts with the container and label, not the machine. Diameter, label length, material, output and line layout determine whether a semi-automatic, compact or automatic wraparound labeller is the right route.

Specification points

Avoid common mistakes

Ignoring taper

Tapered containers can cause skew and need early review.

✓

Wrong roll direction

Label orientation and unwind direction must match the applicator.

✓

Underestimating changeover

Multiple products and labels can affect the best machine choice.
