Can a front and back labeller apply only one label?
Most twin-side systems can be configured to apply one or two labels depending on the product run.
Front and back labelling machines
Front and back labelling machines apply labels to two opposite faces of a container. They are commonly used for flat bottles, oval bottles, rectangular containers and premium retail products.
Where they are used
They suit food, drink, cosmetics, household, chemicals, lubricants and pharmaceutical-style products where a front branding label and rear information label are required.
Product handling
Side belts, top hold-downs or product guides may be needed to keep containers stable as labels are applied from both sides.
Changeover considerations
The machine should be checked against the smallest and largest bottle, label height range and the required accuracy for both labels.
Quotation tip: For a faster recommendation, send product dimensions, label dimensions, label roll details, output target, photos and any existing line layout.
