Front & Back Labelling Machines

Twin-side and double-sided labellers for front and rear label application.

front and back labelling machines, twin side labeller, double sided labeller

Is this the right range?

Front and back labelling machines normally use two label heads so separate labels can be applied to opposite faces in one pass. Product orientation, spacing and guide rail control are critical for consistent label position.

  • Matched to container shape and product stability
  • Configured around label roll size and label position
  • Can be supplied as standalone equipment or line-integrated machinery
  • Backed by Lancing UK specification and support
Front & Back Labelling Machines

Specification points for this labelling range

Front & Back Labelling Machines should be selected around product handling, label roll data, required label position and the real production speed needed after changeover. A good specification should also confirm operator access, cleaning, guarding, conveyors, coding and spare parts before the machine is ordered.

  • Confirm product dimensions, material, weight and stability.
  • Check label roll core, outside diameter, label gap and unwind direction.
  • Agree acceptable placement tolerance and repeatability.
  • Plan integration with filling, capping, coding, inspection or end-of-line handling where required.

Send your container, label and production details and Lancing UK can advise which machine range is the best fit.

Engineering selection

Control product orientation before matching two labels

Front and back labelling depends on a repeatable product face. Side belts, guides and spacing must hold the container without distorting it, while both label heads are timed to the same moving pack. Oval, rectangular and square containers should be reviewed for their natural conveyor orientation and any variation in moulding or fill weight.

Two label rolls

Provide both front and rear label specifications, including label dimensions, roll direction and whether the two labels have different lengths or reference points.

Product orientation

Identify the face that must lead into the machine, any handle or closure feature used as a reference, and whether the pack can turn between upstream equipment and the labeller.

Clear-label sensing

Transparent labels can require a suitable sensor and a test with the real liner and label stock. The test should check both heads independently.

Presentation check

Agree how front-to-back alignment will be judged. Measure each label from a physical pack feature and also review the visual relationship when the product is viewed on shelf.

When another labelling route is likely to be better

A wrap-around machine is normally the simpler route for one continuous label on a round container. A single side applicator may be sufficient when only one face is labelled, while a shaped-container system may be needed where the pack must index through several panels.

Send samples and the intended acceptance check

Include product dimensions, production label rolls, normal output, changeover range, line layout and the required label position. Lancing UK can then check whether this range is the correct commercial route.

Application engineering

Define the product datum before aligning two labels

Twin-side systems need a repeatable product position between two label heads. The reference may come from container faces, side guides, a top hold or an orientation feature; it must remain stable across the full format range.

Product orientation

Identify which face leads and how the pack is prevented from yawing or rotating before the label heads.

Label pair

Record front and back dimensions, roll arrangement, vertical relationship and whether independent adjustment is required.

Wipe-down

Pressure should apply each label smoothly without deforming the pack or disturbing the opposite side.

Inspection

Agree whether the test judges each label independently and the relationship between them.

Discuss the application with Lancing

Send the product, label and line information so the most suitable labelling route can be checked before quotation.
