Label Applicators LabelOn™

LabelOn™ Automatic Label Applicators 

The importance of a label applicator machine for bottles cannot be overstated. The increase in demand for a product means a necessary increase in the product’s production — a fact that could overwhelm the production line if it is ill-prepared. A significant part of this process is the labeling of the commodities. A good label applicator machine can speed up production without compromising precision. With LabelOn™ ‘s lineup of Label Applicators, the ever-increasing demand for your production can be met, thanks to the impressive reliability of our labeling machines.

Label Applicator Machine for Bottles

When it comes to these label applicators for bottles, it only makes sense to use a machine capable of speed, efficiency, and accuracy. This accuracy stems from the label applicator machine’s core components and how they correlate with one another. From label feeding to product control, to product sensing and label control, once these factors are in tune with one another, then the label application process will be a success time and time again.

The LabelOn™ Label Applicator for bottles uses five-phase stepping motors to give the best combination of smooth label feed and high-resolution label-positioning control. Other label application machines only have two-phase motors; with their old design, it is no wonder that these equipment gets very hot and very noisy. They also have far fewer stop positions as they turn to dispense a label.

One of the primary hurdles that label applicators must surpass is variation in label placement. In the case of our label application machine, this variation is due to the variation in the products to be labelled themselves. Our machine can recognize these product variations easily because LabelOn™ ‘s label applicators are built to deal with instances like these with efficiency. 

LabelOn™ Modular Label Applicators

We have labeler machines of a modular type and can cater to a wide array of product shapes and sizes. When dealing with flat or oval bottles, the label applicator employs an Overhead Hold-Down Conveyor that goes beyond the design of most other equipment. This conveyor synchronizes with the main conveyor as well as the five-phase motors in the initial label feeding phase. The overhead conveyor itself is motor-driven and allows for accurate speed control with smooth, quiet, and cool operation. 

Label Applicator

The conveyor also has multiple independent spring-loaded plates positioned behind its belt. This allows for greater bottle or height variation of the products which pass through the label applicator machine for bottles. Without this important feature, even one slightly taller bottle on the conveyor belt could mean a reduction of the hold-down pressure needed by the bottle next to it. This could invariably affect the label accuracy of the succeeding bottle as pressure sensitivity is critical for smooth automatic label application when the label meets the container at the controlled and synchronized speed of the conveyor belt. 

This other aspect that LabelOn™ ‘s label applicator for jars delivers is its ability to adapt as the conveyor belts adjust their speeds. The labeling machine exhibits fine control over the speed by which the products are labeled—an important feature, especially for oval-sided bottle applications or high-angled surfaces. This is also especially important in conditions wherein bubbles of air tend to get trapped under the label and a wiper solution needs to be applied to dispel the bubbles. In most cases, the machine’s label feed is set to the optimum default ratio and speed, but you always have the option to exude control over the label application when needed. 

The LabelOn™ Labeling Systems

The LabelOn™ Label Applicator is a self-adhesive labeling machine that brings together experiences from around the world. The designers for LaberlOn™ have placed self-adhesive labeling equipment in facilities around the globe.

 

Easy Label Applicator Machine Set-Up

The ease of setting up the LabelOn™ label applicator machine is not an afterthought – it is a design target.  With the LabelOn™ Modular Labeling machine the label applicator can be configured to cater to one or two labels onto a round bottle or onto a flat bottle or onto a LabelOn™ or an oval sided bottle.  There is no point to have this versatility unless it is quick and easy to change versatility. The LabelOn™ labeler machine achieves fast and easy product changes with an insightful and efficient machine design.  Other labeler machines can take hours to change from one size to another whereas the LabelOn™ Modular can safely boast that it takes minutes to change from one job to a totally different shape and size label application.

Easy Labeling Machine Service

The ease of servicing a LabelOn™ Modular label machine is also a design target.  None of the electronics is “hard-wired” in place, all of the electronics are clearly labeled, modular, and can be removed with minimal tools using normal or even large-sized hands (not tiny hands on the end of impossibly thin arms).

The support of the LabelOn™ Modular label applicator is something that can be achieved from around the world or next door thanks to the records kept on each machine.  Prior to manufacturing, any updates are added to three-dimensional records which can be recalled in moments by our team.

Our records enable problems initially relayed over the phone to be quickly narrowed down to an area of the label applicator machine where the assembly components of that area can be individually or collectively manipulated on a screen to pinpoint parts or adjustments that are needed to get the most out of your machine and its accuracy.

Glass Bottle Labeling or Plastic – What Difference Does It Make

Plastic or Glass

As the world is becoming more environmentally conscious and awareness of the detriments of plastics has grown, there has been a shift to the use of glass bottles in the name of sustainability. The potential issues that arise from plastic use, however, do not take away from the fact that plastic products and packaging are still incredibly versatile and important. Both glass and plastic are still used to package a variety of products and the material and method by which these products are packaged lead to a big difference in glass bottle labeling versus plastic ones.

This begins with the components these two are made from. Plastic products can be made of polymers from polyethylene terephthalate (PET), high- and low-density polyethylene, polystyrene, and others. Plastic packaging can form barriers against moisture and are very versatile in their applications. Glass bottles, on the other hand, are made from natural materials like silica sand, limestone, soda ash, and material from recycled glass, called “cullet.” These confer sturdiness and inertness to glass bottles, making them reusable and less problematic for the consumers’ health. 

Both products have multiple applications in various fields. With packaging, plastics don’t break like glass bottles when dropped. They are also more forgiving in their flexibility and are easier to configure into many shapes and sizes. Glass bottles for their part, are more heat-tolerant and do not warp under high temperatures. They are also more impermeable than plastic, allowing them to hold more corrosive substances than plastic can. 

Here are some of the aspects that differ when labeling glass bottles versus plastic ones.

Labeling Plastic Bottles or Glass Bottle

1. Product Handling

With glass bottle labeling, you need to be more careful with product handling as glass breaks. Extra precautions include ensuring there are no places where a build-up of the product would result in an overflow of product that would fall off the machine.  Glass bottles can “catch” on one another and cause jams. Pinch points can shatter glass where plastic bottles will simply crumple.  Some product handling can result in jams under just the wrong conditions because the glass jar will not budge in shape.

2. Labeling Surface Consistency

Plastic jars and Glass products can have crappy labeling surfaces or inconsistent shapes and labeling surfaces.

When dealing with round glass jars, we have found higher pressure of application along with softer application rollers produces better results where there are undulations on the surface.

With Plastic bottles, you don’t have the luxury of applying more pressure as the bottle will deform.

In both plastic and glass bottle labeling, the best solution is to change supply and find good quality packaging where there are no labeling surface undulations.

glass bottle labeling

3. Adhesives and the Surface

Adhesives will perform differently with both Glass bottles and Plastic bottles.

With clear labels, there is a term called adhesive wet-out where small microbubbles, visible just after application, simply “go away”.

It’s a good idea to check with your label stock supplier if the adhesive on your labels is well matched to glass or plastic depending on the products you are labeling.

4. Shape Changing

In some cases, plastic containers will change shape or panel with different temperatures or with certain contents where gases are either produced or consumed within a sealed container.  On a labeled container this can lead to creases or bubbles appearing after what looks like a smooth label application.  A glass bottle is very unlikely to have these types of issues.

5. Static Electricity

Plastic containers, compared to glass, are more likely to build up static electricity and this can affect label application and lead to bubbles or creases.

6. Outgassing

In some cases, plastic can give off gas or even let gasses pass through its walls. This can create bubbles on what looks like a previously well-labeled product.

In most cases, if we have a representative sample of products to examine, and a short video of the current labeling process, we will be able to identify where the source of problem bubbles or creases is coming from.

Plastic and glass bottles have their own sets of pros and cons and different applicabilities depending on the product you want to package. Their differences mean that both the labels on glass bottles and their plastic counterparts, as well as the general labeling process will differ for the two of them.

Product Labeling Samples Process – Proceeding with Confidence

Confidence is built up from experience. This is true no matter what field you may find yourself in. But although one must start from the ground up, when it comes to the importance of your business, it is imperative that you know the very basics in order to provide the best possible service for your clients. When your customers approach you, it is because they have trust in your product. As such, giving your clients advice must never be dealt with a hit-or-miss attitude. This article will guide you into the process of how to confidently and accurately provide to your clients the proper information they will need about product labeling samples.

Product Labeling Automation: A Step Up from Manual Labeling

Once your client’s company decides to move away from hand-labeling towards semi-automated or fully-automated product labeling, they are entering a new level of production with new constraints. There are significant differences among these three, not least of which is the amount of control the operator has on the production line. 

When hand-labeling, the operators have a chance to make corrections for product, packaging, and label variations. They have the advantage of tactile dexterity and vision. With semi- or fully-automated product labeling, the product container itself must be oriented properly and detected by the labeling machine at the appropriate level. It must then be labeled perfectly by the product labeling machine.

An exaggerated example of this can be found in our video discussion of “Taking On This Cookie”.

Disclaimer:  This is a case study for discussion purposes only.  No claim is made as to the supply of equipment or the endorsement by any of the parties or products contained or seen in this video”

With Automated labeling, we need to orientate the product, detect the product and wipe or wrap a label onto the moving surface of the product.

Sources of Variations in Production

Product Labeling

This segment of the article discusses the common sources of variations in clients’ products. It is necessary for them to understand these important distinctions as there is no one-size-fits-all solution for product labeling. It is more often than not, customized to the specific needs of each client’s business. Having a thorough grasp of this information is needed so both you and your client can reach a good understanding of how to proceed. 

  • Product size – Variations in product size are inevitable even for plastic or glass containers. A simple example of this is a product that is approximately 200mm tall. Even though these products are made with this specification, multiple of these products can easily have a height variation of 0.5% or 1mm variation. This information is important to know as these small changes may impact the accuracy of label application.
  • Product shape – Unique product shapes are great for the consumers’ eyes but they may present the most complex kind of variation for automated product labeling and indeed, for hand labeling.

Labeling with self-adhesive labels requires that the label is applied to a surface that is either flat or has a curve in only one direction. With round bottles, the curve is in the direction of the circumference. In some instances, the manufacturers of round containers do not carefully control the shape of their containers and you see variations in the walls of the round bottles which results in complex contours (A surface with a curve in more than one direction).

Explaining to the client variations in product shape can enlighten them on the complexities of labeling these products.

  • Label Variation – While the die shape of a label may be fixed and invariable, its position on the web will vary:

Exaggerated Diagram Label Variation

The label manufacturer should be able to advise of the slitting tolerance of the web they can achieve; this can often be +/- 0.5 or 1.0 mm. These slitting tolerances lead to label position tolerance as the label head that dispenses the labels is fixed in position.

While the shape of the label itself is fixed and invariable, its position on the roll (and those subtle differences in the web), can have an impact on the accuracy of label application. It is important to explain to the client the label position tolerance they will need to take into account, as the label head of the product labeling machine is fixed in position as it dispenses its labels.

  • Operator Setting Variation – A skillful operator is an invaluable part of any team, however, they are still human, and so, may occasionally not set the machine in its optimum setting.One difficulty the operator faces is knowing if his/her setting is based on the perfect bottle and label. They determine this with the use of a bell curve of variation/tolerance. If the operator sets the machine based on samples that are not at the center of their bell curve of variation, then the labeling results will be off slightly and end up inaccurately positioned.
  • Machine Variation – Product Labeling machine variations come from a few different sources. While many variations in machine label placement can be attributed to the setup, other discrepancies may be due to the machine’s capabilities on label tracking, product sense, label gap sensing, label speed, and product label surface speed mismatch.

With Round and Flat Bottles, the LabelOn™ variation in label placement will be within +/- 1.0mm usually much better.

With Oval Bottles, the LabelOn™ variation in label placement width-wise will be within +/- 1.5mm usually much better , height variation remains within +/- 1.0mm usually much better.

3.0 Assessing Samples

Sample Assessment: Why Do We Need Product Samples from Our Clients?

Evaluating your client’s products is an important step that both parties must be active in. The initial evaluation phase includes the client’s description of the products, generally with accompanying photos or videos of said products.

Understanding the container and its contents, the current processes involved with their processing and sealing, and issues that may arise in transport or handling are discussed thoroughly so you understand how to go about providing accurate information on the next step of the process. 

Tolerances, i.e. the allotted amount of deviation for a product’s specifications that are still allowed to meet itsproduct labeling cans standards of quality, are also discussed in this stage. In cases of labels and packaging, these tolerances are usually available from their respective manufacturers. It is important to discuss this because there are many instances where we encounter people cutting costs or opting for cheaper packaging suppliers where these tolerances are not available. Once these topics are understood and honored, then the transaction is generally expected to be successful.

Our label partners need to thoroughly understand the source of the tolerances and insure
THE SIZE OF THE LABEL DOES NOT EXCEED THE DEFINED LABEL PANEL LESS THE SUM OF ALL TOLERANCES; see examples below:

3.1 Example Round Bottle Label Height:

  • A round bottle with a total height of 100mm diameter 25mm and label panel height of 75mm needs labeling
  • The manufacturer of the bottles states a height variation +/- 1% = +/- 1mm
  • The label Manufacturer states a slitting tolerance +/- 1mm
  • Operator skill allowance of +/- 0.5mm
  • Labeling Machine tolerance is +/- 1mm
  • Total tolerance is +/- 3.5mm
  • Therefore maximum label height should be 75mm less 7mm = 68mm

3.2 Example Flat Bottle

  • A flat Bottle with a total height of 150mm, Width of 80mm, Depth of 40mm has a label panel height 80mm and width 75mm needs labeling.
  • The manufacturer of the bottles states a height and width variation +/- 1% = +/- 1.5 mm height  and +/- 0.8mm width.
  • The label Manufacturer states a slitting tolerance +/- 1mm (this affects height placement only)
  • Operator skill allowance of +/- 0.5mm (this affects both height and width placement)
  • Product Labeling Machine tolerance is +/- 1mm(this affects both height and width placement)
  • Total tolerance is Height +/- 4.0mm , Width +/- 2.3mm
  • Therefore maximum label size should be Height 80mm less 8.0mm = 72mm, Width 75mm less 4.6mm = 70.4 mm

Exaggerated Diagram to quickly conceptualize:

Exaggerated Diagram Flat Bottles

3.3 Example Oval Bottle

  • An Oval Bottle with a total height 150mm, Width 80mm, Depth 40mm has a label panel height of 80mm and a width of 75mm needs labeling
  • The manufacturer of the bottles states a height and width variation +/- 1% = +/- 1.5 mm height  and +/- 0.8mm width
  • The label Manufacturer states a slitting tolerance +/- 1mm (this affects height placement only)
  • Operator skill allowance of +/- 0.5mm (this affects both height and width placement)
  • Labeling Machine tolerance is +/- 1.5mm in the width direction and  +/- 1.0mm in the height direction
    Total tolerance is Height +/- 4.0mm , Width +/- 2.8mm
  • Therefore maximum label size should be Height 80mm less 8.0mm = 72mm, Width 75mm less 5.6mm = 69.4 mm

4.0 Samples Stages

Other important reasons why samples are needed is to determine the following:

  • Recessed label panels are not easily seen on photo or video
  • Round bottles wherein the label panel have a smaller diameter than other areas of the bottle or its cap
  • Tapered round bottles 

We later need larger quantities of samples and Labels for testing the machinery so the client knows what to expect prior to shipment and so the client can approve a machine prior to its shipment.

Eventually, after an agreement has been made, additional samples and labels may be requested for machinery testing and to illustrate to the client what to expect once their machine arrives.

Once the transaction is completed and the machine is sent out, ongoing communication between you and your client is necessary to address any issues which may arise. Good customer service is always a plus in any kind of business. Nourishing this connection will then become a long-term investment for both parties, ensuring good business for both sides for years to come.

The Right Labeling Equipment

Labeling equipment, whether manual, semi-automatic or fully automatic, can bring about significant improvement to your business, not just with regards to your workflow but with its effect on productivity and efficiency. Automating your labeling process can also be the next step up that you’ll need to propel your production forward and ensure survival in a highly competitive market. 

There are always numerous aspects to consider prior to investing in the right labeling equipment. Besides the costs directly related to the machine purchase and the materials you’ll need when operating a said machine, there are also unmentioned costs regarding this label application equipment which you will need to keep in mind before your big-ticket purchase. However, these costs are often outweighed by the benefits brought about by an automated labeling process. 

Key Benefits of Automated Label Equipment

Your product labeling process, once automated, can provide the following benefits:

  • Significantly increased production capacity
  • Labor savings on a per-unit basis
  • Consistency of label application and the product’s shelf appearance (especially important in the pilot launch volumes stage)

These benefits are, of course, incorporated with your label equipment purchase and so, first, establishing your budget is a necessary step prior to buying your chosen labeler machine. Allocating a capital expenditure budget will enable you to maximize the operational benefits which are available when selecting your labeling equipment. 

There is a significant number of labeling machine suppliers in the market today. Their prices can range from almost unbelievably low-cost machines to high-end machinery priced in the tens of thousands of dollars. When considering the latter and more expensive options, the thinking needs to change from looking for the lowest cost option to looking for the “Best Value” option. 

Unmentioned Costs with Operating Labeling Equipment
LabelOn™ Modular - Labeling Equipment

  • Maintenance and Servicing – Many higher-end label machine suppliers have significant size service departments and these service departments often report as separate operating units within the machine suppliers company, operating units that have to make a profit. To this end, there is often little incentive for these labeler machine suppliers to provide labeling equipment that is intuitive to self-service or to supply parts at a low-cost-plus-margin basis. These suppliers usually charge high call-out fees and hourly rates. On the upside, you do get service and can operate with less technical staff or less technical contractors. On the flip side, low-end machinery suppliers may not have adequate communications, machine records, or service capabilities.
  • Product Change-Over on Lower-end or basic labeling machines – are more dedicated and may not be able to accommodate many variations in your product or label requirements. If they can accommodate for product changes, the change over time can extend into many hours-long processes requiring a great deal of fiddling to get right.
  • Staff Acceptance – Often overlooked, machinery that is not intuitive or looks daunting to operate and service can be a hard sell to your operating staff. This cost can be the most costly one as machinery not properly accepted by staff will not be utilized or maintained properly.

Label Applicator Prices

The choice of labeling machinery that you will need to consider will depend on your label application equipment needs. If you have enough budget allocated, investing in medium- or high-end labeling machinery may be necessary. Low-end machinery is great for the most basic of applications with few to no product change-overs during the production process. High-end labeling machinery is great for the most demanding high-speed volume applications and offers significant upgrades from their more inexpensive counterparts. Medium-end labeling machines offer the middle ground and can cover most applications, especially where some versatility is required. 

LabelOn™ can provide you with machinery to cover all of your labeling needs. If you are in the market for reliable and durable labeling equipment at competitive pricing, look no further than LabelOn™!

Sticker Labeling Machines – When is it Time to Buy

Innovation and ingenuity:  these two things may not be enough to make a product shine in the competitive retail or wholesale market.  When you come up with a product, you want it to have great potential in obtaining market share or even carving out a new market for itself in its uniqueness. And with this impeccable product’s marketing boom comes a need for sticker labeling machines to meet your clientele’s growing demands. 

Whether you decide to grow your business with new products or just expand your company’s range and/or production capacity, you will be faced with the question, “when is a good time to buy a self-adhesive labeling machine?”

To answer this, it is important to note that there are four potential areas of benefit with using

Self-adhesive Labeling Machines

  1. automatic labeling machine
    automatic labeling machine

    Production Throughput – An in-line, pressure-sensitive, self-adhesive labeling machine is a step-up from any manual or even semi-automatic label application process. These sticker applicator machines can improve labeling speeds, upping production yield from 15 pieces to up to around 80 pieces per minute for most applications. Even for some round product labeling which requires adjustments in orientation during the labeling process, the automated process can yield 35 to 45 pieces per minute. This improvement will eliminate a bottleneck in your facility and allow for fast turnaround times for medium and large orders.

  2. wrap laberProduct Presentation – Another aspect greatly improved by your self-adhesive labeling machine comes with its ability to overcome the typical shortfalls of manual labeling such as label creasing and inconsistent label placement. This enhancement is absolutely critical as first impressions can make or break your product in the consumer market. If you have a new product to present to the public eye, you must be acutely aware of how quickly an initial impression is formed based on your product’s label. Big companies starting out with new products can achieve exceptional results by having their initial production runs labeled with these automated sticker labeler machines.
  3. labeling applicationsVersatility in Automation – A label applicator machine is often the first piece of in-line equipment purchased by a company just starting to manufacture in-house. A well-automated labeling system will be modular and have the versatility to handle a great range of shapes and sizes of products without a need for changing parts too often. These in-line sticker labeling machines typically have a conveyor length of 3 meters or less and can feed collection and packing tables with minimal need for human intervention. Their adaptable nature allows for these machines to make quick work of product labeling—an important factor to consider in the creation of a streamlined product line.
  4. old labeling machineCost Savings – If you were to compute the price of manually applying labels versus an automated labeling machine, it is interesting to note that it is more cost-effective to invest in the machine than to have a number of people labeling per hand. Depending on where the labeling process is done in the world, each product manually labeled can cost anywhere from 2 to 20 cents per container. Add to this the fact that manual labeling can rarely be maintained at a pace of more than 15 labels per minute and that the average is actually closer to 6 labels per minute (1 every 10 seconds), and you quickly realize that with mass production, having an automated process is the right path to take.


Just one of the above aspects may be enough to convince you of the need for a self-adhesive labeling machine. Understanding your company’s production goals in the near future as well as the benefits of having a machine that can do it all for you in an efficient manner will let you arrive at the correct choice for your company.
