Specification checklist
Bottle labelling machine specification checklist
A better quotation starts with better specification information. Use this checklist to gather the container, label and production details needed before selecting a wraparound bottle labelling machine.
- UK specification advice from Lancing
- Automatic, compact and semi-automatic options
- Built around container, label and output requirements
Checklist
What this guide covers
Many labelling problems begin before the machine is built: missing container dimensions, unclear label roll direction, untested transparent labels or an output target that does not match the rest of the line. This page gives buyers a practical checklist for collecting the right information.
✓
Label construction
Width, length, backing paper, adhesive, roll direction and whether the label is clear, film or paper.
✓
Production need
Target speed, batch size, changeover frequency, labour level and integration requirements.
Practical comparison
Key points to check
| Checklist item | Send this information | Helpful notes |
|---|---|---|
| Container size | Diameter and height in mm | Measure multiple samples if containers vary |
| Label size | Width and length in mm | Include gap between labels on the roll |
| Roll direction | Inside/outside wound and leading edge | Prevents unwind and orientation errors |
| Label material | Paper, PP, PE, clear film or metallic | Sensor selection may change |
| Output | Target containers per minute | Include current and planned volume |
| Line layout | Conveyor width, height and direction | Important for inline automatic machines |
Specification advice
How this affects machine choice
Check the pack first
Review the actual container shape, diameter, label panel and surface finish. A label applicator works best when the pack is stable and the label area is predictable.
Match label to machine
Confirm label material, roll direction, label gap and adhesive before ordering production labels. Clear, film or metallic labels may need extra testing.
Plan the production route
Decide whether the operation is batch-fed, compact automatic or part of a conveyorised filling and capping line. The best machine is the one that fits the full process.

Questions
Common questions
?
Can I quote without samples?
Photos and dimensions help, but physical samples give the most reliable review for container stability and label handling.
?
Why is label roll direction important?
The applicator needs the label presented correctly at the peel plate. Incorrect roll direction can delay setup or require label rewinding.
?
Do clear labels need different sensors?
Transparent or low-contrast labels may need a clear label sensor or alternative detection method.
