Container labelling machines

This section of the website covers machines for applying labels to filled and sealed rigid containers used in a very wide range of industries.

There are two basic configurations of machine for applying labels to rigid containers based on how containers are transported through the machine:

• rotary labelling machines


• inline labelling machines

Use the links to see how these types of machine operate

Various methods are used to apply different types of label, principally:

• Glued, pre-cut labels

• Glued, pre-cut wrap-around labels

• Glued, reel-fed wrap-around labels

• Self-adhesive (pressure-sensitive), reel-fed labels

• Sleeve labels

Use the links to view animations of how these methods work.
