Wrap Labeling with Added Tilt Adjustments

Full Wrap Labeler

There are a number of types of label applicators, and if you are specifically looking to label bottle products, then the wrap labeling type might just be what you need. These wrap labeler machines apply the labels by rolling them onto the container surface, and the labels they cater to are generally more straightforward than other types of labels. The wrap-around label also covers the circumference of your bottle/container, providing you more space for the contents of your label. 

Big or small products are represented by their labels. All the planning and effort that goes into these labels are well worth it as long as it gets the attention of the consumer. This then leads to new sales and business opportunities for the company. But no matter how great that label is, one thing is for sure: if it’s not placed properly on the product, it will not look good.

Wrap LabelerBut you may argue that some people find a lopsided label quite charming and homey. However cute as it may seem, it certainly doesn’t scream future-professional-big-business, now does it? And how many products are you willing to label by hand? Although a business may start out with hand labeling their products, as the company grows, having this crucial part of the process automated or even semi-automated, is the natural next step, not only to help ease your burden as the manufacturer but also to maintain that accuracy that you most certainly want to have in your production. 

There’s a myriad of things to consider about your product label. What material is your label made of? What kind of container are you going to use? How will you apply said label to this container? Once you and your supplier have figured these things out, you can then move on to your next step: figuring out what kind of label applicator you’re going to use.

Whatever wrap label machine you choose, you will need to understand the following factors and how you will go about with the kind of label you will use:

  • Size of the container
  • The shape of the container
  • Number of labels to be applied 
  • Location of the wrap label for your container
  • Production speed

Once you’ve worked out the kinks of your label and have fully figured out their placement on your containers, you then have to consider whether you want the manual, semi-automatic, or fully automatic type of wrap labeler machine. 

  • Manual wrap labelers usually have a smaller blueprint and so are often also seen as tabletop wrap labelers. They dispense the labels with a roller which you can drag or spin manually over your container in order to apply the label uniformly. These are for smaller production lines (from 500 to 1000 labels per hour) and are reliant on a person to operate the labeler.
  • Semi-automatic labelers may also have a smaller blueprint but are usually larger than their manual counterparts. There are a variety of these kinds of labeling machines that may be operated by the use of a foot pedal and some may even have sensors to automatically determine when a new bottle is inserted into the machine. Depending on the complexity of your semi-automatic labeler, you may find that the need for personnel to handle the machine may be less demanding, and for the employee, it certainly is a lot less difficult to operate than a manual wrap labeler. 

These machines can apply about 1200 to 1800 labels per hour, depending on the type of label you use but usually wraparound labels are easier to apply, and therefore, fully labeled products can be churned out at a faster rate.

  • Fully Automatic Labelers are designed for large-scale businesses and can label an impressive number of products within an hour.  These machines do, however, still require a skilled technician to operate them as these machines tend to be a bit more fickle than their manual or even semi-automatic peers. If your business has a need for a high-speed production line, however, then these beasts of a machine are certainly perfect for you.

Whichever wrap labeling machine you settle on, you will find just how much more time you’ll have back, seeing as how you just made your life a whole lot easier with your choice of wrap labeler machine.

 

Bottle and Jar Labeling Machine with Longer Wrap and Tilt Adjustments

Round Bottle and Round Jar Labeling Machine with Long Wrap and Tilt Adjustments

Taking our standard LabelOn™Basic 500-WRAP, this machine had the following options added for our client:

1) Long Wrap Conveyor;

The Standard Wrap Labeling Conveyor is 300 mm Long (11 7/8″)
The Long Wrap Labeling Conveyor is 400 mm Long (15 3/4″)
This Option includes a Main Conveyor width Upgrade to 152.4 mm (6″).

This client was advised to use a Vacuum Wrap Conveyor for this Job, however, label end alignment was not so critical for their client.

With the above, the Digital fine-tuning of Synchronized Speed Controls on the touch panel coupled with Fine Tilt Controls on the label head achieved excellent label ends alignment with their extra-long label.

2) Tilt Adjustments – Tapered Products;

There is a significant amount of solidly engineered hardware included with this option. The Label Head Mounting is upgraded from the Standard Wind-Up/Down mounting (A Z-Axis Adjustment) to Mounting that has 3 Axis of Directional Adjustment (X-Y-Z) and Two-Axis of Tilt Adjustment (X-Y).

2.1 Fine Controls of Label Head Positioning.

The added Adjustments can extend the alignment capabilities of the front and back ends of the labels beyond the recommended 85% for this method of label application.

With quality containers, precision height matching of the leading and trailing edge of long labels up to 95% wrap are possible with this machine – even 100% wrap labels.

2.2 Tapered labeling (Requires Tilt Adjustment Options)

This client sometimes has containers that have a slight taper. Such Containers tend to rise in the WRAP CONVEYOR section.

To counter this rising container, the WRAP Conveyor Mounting has its mounting upgraded to include a Y-Axis Tilt Adjustment.

Also, the Backing Plate has its Mounting Upgraded to have a Y-Axis Tilt Adjustment.

Understanding Tapered Round Container Labeling

A spinning rotating tapered product has a surface speed that varies with the height of the product. That is because the circumference of the container is different at different heights. A well-Designed Label for a Tapered Round Container will have a “Smile Shape”.

The WRAP CONVEYOR Labeling method is ONLY recommended for very slightly tapered products. If you look at smile labels as they sit on the label roll the top edge and the bottom edge of the label that will peel off will move relative to the top edge and bottom edge of the label roll (that remains on the machine). When we dispense/peel a label from the roll, on the machine, the label roll does not move up or down it remains at the same level.

HOWEVER, the top edge and the bottom edge of the smile-shaped label do move up and down as the label is dispensed. With the standard or long WRAP CONVEYOR Labeling method, for the duration of the label dispensing, the label is in contact with the spinning container.

Labels on the Dispensing Label Head DO NOT want to go up and down.
Labels on the Spinning Container DO want to go up and down to conform/wrap onto the spinning container and stay at the same height on the container.

For containers that have more than a slight taper, this “tug of war” can lead to label tracking issues on the Label Dispensing Head and on the Container itself.

Vacuum Wrap Option Available:

Vacuum Wrap Labeling Machine - LabelOn Basic - VW

A Vacuum Wrap enables the label(s) to be completely released from the backing paper prior to application. Hence, labels are free to “slide” on the Vacuum Belt in a path that matches the spinning surface of the product. This eliminates the “tug of war” between the label dispensing head and the Container’s Spinning surface and removes the tracking issues on the Label while reducing tracking issues on the Container as the label wraps/conforms to the container.

At LabelOn™ we have listened to the market very carefully.

Economic Labeling Machines need to operate like the more expensive and larger labeling machines. The LabelOn™ Basic Labeling machines need to get out a good level of production volume, accurately and (*importantly*) with the ease of set up found on our bigger budget labeling machines.

Our Basic Labeling Machines have Touch panel controls and Synchronized Motor Speeds. When you have Basic Labeling Machines with the features we have packed into our Basic Series Bottle Labeling Machines you have Labeling Machines that require a much lower operator skill set than the skill set required to operate other low-cost Labeling Machines that fail to include the features of the LabelOn™ Basic Range of Low-Cost high Production Labeling Machines.

Password Protected Access

A relatively New standard feature on our Basic Series is Password protected access to the machine controls. This gives you the option to have only authorized staff make changes to the machine’s touch screen settings.

Beer Labeling Machine

Brewing Beer as a Business

Amidst all the technical aspects, the licenses, and the requirements needed, once one has perfected that oh so glorious signature taste that will put their brewery on the map, the next thing one will need is the packaging. Beer bottle or beer can? Glass or aluminum? Whichever you choose, bland branding is never a good thing. And that’s where beer labeling comes in. 

Any person who has ever owned this type of business has, at one time or another, thought of labeling their product, not just to save up on costs, but also to fully customize their merchandise.  With the intricacies related to different types of beer bottle labeling equipment, it is no wonder that many find switching from manual labeling to machine labeling is a daunting task. However, with proper knowledge and guidance, having your beer labeling machine up and running can make for a satisfying experience in your brewery. 

How Important is Beer Labeling?

The importance of a good first impression is never lost in interpersonal connections but the same also applies to our products. The brewer’s craft entails meticulous attention to detail but the container in which one presents this beloved product also delivers a lasting impact on the consumer. Along with the taste, the quality, the wording, the packaging—everything is scrutinized by the observant consumer, so why not build upon this and make sure to dole out the charm that only the finest breweries can offer?

For craft beer connoisseurs and those looking for unique pieces to partake in or even to gift to others, a beautifully placed beer label may be just the difference between customers choosing your beer over your competitors’. Commercial breweries with their massive batches churn out an impressive production and it is no secret that their labels gather impressive results. But rarely are these beers considered “memorable.” In peoples’ hearts, a product that is unique and impressive will always be more memorable than mass-produced goods.

Why Invest in Beer Labeling Equipment?

  • Pre-Printed Cans or Bottles are an inventory and storage challenge
  • Label application is not easily done by hand and can take an arduous amount of time without some level of automation.
  • The placement of the label must be accurate and neat as it adds to the finesse of your brand.
  • It allows for the consistent positioning of your label.

Before purchasing your beer labeling machine, there are a few factors you need to think of including price, the speed of production, size of the beer bottle/can, and the efficiency of your label applicator.

Here we showcase our LabelOn™ Manual Benchtop Round Product Labeler. This setup will let you do away with the tedium of manual label placement and alignment, and improve efficiency in your production line. 

Manual Beer Labeling Machine

This beer can and bottle labeling machine are perfect for round bottles, jars, and cans—either glass or plastic. It has three rollers to guarantee topnotch alignment both on the leading and trailing edges of your labels. Perfect for when your production line includes labeling more than a hundred items per day!

There is also a nifty pointer/reference bar that sits over the label path letting you know when the label has been dispensed and when to stop using the hand crank. This impressive mechanism is also useful for applying two labels from the same roll—front then back. The addition of another pointer allows you to apply your first label, rotate the item, and proceed with adding your second label. 

Large Breweries

Beer boutiques and larger breweries can benefit from our Mini BCD Series and Basic BCD series. BCD stands for Bottle Capture Device.

The LabelOn™ Mini Synergy 500 – BCD, captures the product a fraction of an inch away from where the label is ejected from the label head. The product is captured between two vertical and parallel Idler Rollers and a Driven Rubber Roller. This method reduces significantly the possible tilt in the product as it is being labeled and reduces any variations due to the variations in the product’s base “squareness” to its side. The bottle remains captured and spinning while the label is fully released at a Synchronized speed onto the bottle’s spinning surface. Typically, the label alignment of the leading and trailing ends will vary approximately +/- 0.5mm up and down.

Tabletop Round Wrap Labeler
Video below shows Light-Weight PET bottles passing through a LabelOn™ Basic 500 – You will notice the bottle speed, wrap speed, and label speed are so well matched that it is barely perceptible as to when the bottle begins to spin.
