How Labelling Machines are Important to Packaging Industries


Labelling Machine
Labelling machine is a machine to stick labels on final products, containers, vials, ampoules, bottles and in other industrial packaging industries.  Labelling machines are also called as labeller. Label applicator machine is used to paste printed labels on containers and products especially bottles, vials, jars, ampoules etc. These labels are self adhesive labels having readymade gum on the back side of label which can be pasted on container with little press by machine.
Types of Labelling Machines
Various types of labelling machines are used for different industrial applications based on the types, size and shapes of containers or vessels.  Labelling machines are categorized based on the type of labelling, positioning, the process automization or semi-automization, speed of labelling etc. Sticker labelling machine, wet glue labelling machine, rotary labelling machines are the labelling machines widely used in Pharmaceutical industries. Sticker labelling machine is also known as self adhesive labelling machine.
Based on the type of labelling, the machines are further classified as front and back labelling machines, top and bottom labelling machines, partial and full wrap around labelling machines, overlap labellers and shrink sleeve applicators etc. The machine to label bottles is known as bottle labelling machine. The machine to label vials and ampoules are known the same as vial labelling machine, ampoule labelling machine. The functions of labelling remains same with different methods applied for different containers based on their size and shape.
Based on the types of operational features, the machine is further identified with automatic labelling machine, semi-automatic labelling machine and manual labelling machine.
Importance of Labelling Machine
Manual labelling is a time consuming and non-professional way of packaging the product and when there is a matter of bulk production in a professional way, there is no way other than using labelling machine to package the products for commercial branding. Thus labelling machine is quite most required by Pharma, consumer, FMCG and many other packaging industries.  Complete automization with advanced features of labelling machine can make your packaging task so easy, clean, professional and hygienic within a stipulated time frame with high accuracy. Thus while selecting the labelling machine for your industrial operation, first note down all your requirements and go through the features offered by the labelling machine manufacturer companies that most suit for your standard operation.
