Applications for flat product labelling
Flat surface labellers apply labels to pouches, cartons, boxes, bags, trays, lids, cards and other products with a stable top or side face. Product presentation and conveyor support are critical because flexible or uneven packs can move during application.
- Pouches and sachets
- Boxes, cartons and cards
- Lids, trays and flat packs
- Top labels, side labels and tamper labels
Handling and repeatability
For a clean result the product must be guided under the label head with controlled height and speed. Lightweight products may need belts, guides or a top hold-down to keep them stable.
- Check product thickness and flatness
- Confirm label position tolerance
- Consider wipe-down rollers or brushes
- Plan coding before or after labelling
Common questions
Can flat labellers label pouches?
Yes, but pouch thickness, fill level and surface flatness need to be checked.
Can one machine label boxes and bags?
Possibly, if the size range and handling method are compatible. Mixed formats should be reviewed before quotation.
Do flat labellers support date coding?
They can often be integrated with coding before or after the label application point.
