Bottles, jars and cans
Round packs may suit wrap-around labelling; oval or flat-sided containers may need controlled front-and-back presentation; jars with shoulders or taper require a marked label panel and representative trials.
Food & Drink Labelling Machines
Labelling machinery for sauces, drinks, jars, bottles, trays and food packaging lines.
Application route
Labelling considerations
Food and drink projects often involve changing bottle sizes, washdown considerations, shelf presentation and batch coding. Round bottle labellers, top and bottom labellers and print and apply machines are common starting points.
- Check container size range and line speed
- Confirm label material, roll direction and label position
- Plan coding, barcode or traceability requirements early
- Review operator access, cleaning and changeover requirements

Food & drink selection
Specify the labeller around the filled pack and production environment
Food and drink containers can arrive warm, chilled, wet, greasy, dusty or lightweight. The label, adhesive, container and machine must be tested in the condition seen after filling, capping and any rinsing or cooling stage.
Temperature and moisture
Condensation and product splash can reduce initial tack. Record the application temperature, time from filling and whether the container is dry at the labelling station.
Cleaning and changeover
Frequent flavours, pack sizes or allergen-managed production can make access, clean-down boundaries, recipe control and label reconciliation as important as headline speed.
| Buyer question | Evidence to provide | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Will the container be cold or wet? | Filled samples at representative condition | Adhesive contact and product handling |
| Does the label carry a barcode or variable date? | Artwork, code position and verification requirement | Print, reading and reject scope |
| How often do formats change? | SKU list, dimensions and batch pattern | Change parts, recipes and operator time |
Use the label adhesion and environment guide before a production label run, and the line-layout guide where fillers, cappers, coders or inspection equipment connect directly to the labeller.
