Label applicators for round containers

Wraparound label applicators

A wraparound label applicator applies a single pressure-sensitive label around a cylindrical container. The right system depends on batch size, container stability, label material and the level of automation required.

  • UK specification support from Lancing
  • Automatic, compact and semi-automatic options
  • Suitable for cylindrical bottles, jars and cans
  • Can be integrated with filling and capping lines

Applicator types

The main options

Bench-top semi-automatic

Compact automatic

A conveyor-fed label applicator for regular batches and smaller production areas.

Inline automatic

A production-line machine for higher speed labelling after filling and capping.

Label quality

What gives a clean wrap

Control rotation

The container must rotate consistently so the label tracks straight.

Correct label sensor

The sensor must match paper, film or transparent label material.

Good setup

Guide rails, dispense speed and pressure rollers all affect the final label finish.

Questions

Common questions before specifying a labeller.

?

What is the difference between a labeller and a label applicator?

In this context they are often used interchangeably. Both describe equipment that dispenses and applies labels to containers.

?

Can a wraparound applicator label tapered bottles?

Tapered containers require review. Some tapered products need specialist tooling or a different labelling approach.

?

Can I send samples for testing?

Yes. Container and label samples help confirm the correct machine type and settings.
