In an inline labelling machine filled and sealed containers travel through the machine on a linear conveyor. This configuration is widely used with one or more applicators for self-adhesive (pressure-sensitive) labels and for applying sleeve labels.
The animation below shows a typical inline labelling machine equipped with one self-adhesive label applicator. (self-adhesive label applicators are also frequently used on rotary labelling machines)
