Jar & Bottle Labelling Machines

How to choose a labelling machine for jars and bottles

A labelling machine is used to apply self-adhesive labels to jars, bottles, tins, cans and other compatible food containers.

The most suitable model depends on the type and shape of the container, its dimensions, the label to be applied and the approximate number of containers to be processed.

Manual labelling machines

Manual labelling machines are suitable for small-scale or non-continuous production where an automatic system is not required.

They can provide a practical solution for compatible jars, bottles, tins or other containers, depending on the specifications of the individual model.

Semi-automatic labelling machines

Semi-automatic labelling machines are suitable when the number of containers to be processed increases and a more structured labelling workflow is required.

Depending on the model and accessories, they may be used with cylindrical, conical, square or rectangular containers. Always check the supported dimensions and label configuration before purchasing.

Jar labeling machines

A jar labeling machine can be used for compatible jars and food containers used for products such as jams, preserves, sauces and other processed preparations.

The correct machine should be selected according to the shape and dimensions of the jar, as well as the label layout required.

Bottle labeling machines and bottle labellers

A bottle labeling machine or bottle labeller is used to apply labels to compatible bottles according to the configuration supported by the selected model.

Depending on the machine, applications may include a single front label, front and back labels or additional neck labels.

Front, back and neck labels

Some machines are designed for a single label, while other configurations can support front and back labels, neck labels or optional accessories for specific applications.

Before choosing a model, consider both the container and the label layout required for the finished product.

Labelling jars, bottles and food containers

This category is intended in particular for containers used in fruit-processing and food-packaging applications, including juices, jams, preserves and other processed products.

The machines available should always be selected according to the actual container shape and size. A cylindrical bottle does not necessarily require the same configuration as a square jar, rectangular container or conical format.

Difference between filling, closing and labelling

Filling places the product inside the container. Closing seals the compatible bottle or jar. Labelling is the subsequent stage in which the label is applied to the finished container.
