HOW TO SELECT A LABELING MACHINE
✔What is being labeled? Is it a bag, a carton, a clamshell, a pouch, or a bottle? A machine appropriate for labeling jars and bottles may not be appropriate for a flexible package.
✔List the type of product surfaces of the product and select the appropriate machine. For example, the surface can be flat, concave, textured, convex, etc. hence the machine should be able to handle the size and shape.
✔What is the product made of? An application surface that is smooth and clean may not require the same labeler as a rigid or rough surface.
✔Where on the product do you want the label? Some labeling machines are made for wrap-around labels on bottles while others do simultaneous top and bottom or two panel labels.
✔Consider where the labeling process will take place in your production line. This will help determine the type of labeler and application needed, and tell label sizes that are possible you will use.
