·      Container Shape

·      Number of labels to be applied

·      Where labels are to be applied

·      Speed (Number of containers per minute)

·      Automatic / Semi-Automatic

Once the above-mentioned basic information is available then it is easier to gap down the choice of which sticker labeling machine you need. Below is a convenient breakdown of Sticker label machine types:

WRAP AROUND STICKER LABELING MACHINE:

This kind of machine generally applies single label over container and container are generally round in shape. These containers are like Vial , Glass bottle , Round jar or can be anything.  They can apply the label as full wrap, partial wrap and some time over lap as per the requirement. They also referred as round bottle sticker labeling machine. There are various models available in this category and production output grossly depends upon the factors like Label length (mm), diameter of the container as well as overall height of the container. Up to 250 container per minute can be achieved with these models. Example / shape of the containers are as below:

AUTOMATIC / SEMI-AUTOMATIC

This particular factor is solely on customer requirement. Semi-Automatic sticker labeling machine are generally good for startup companies where production requirements are low but accurate labelling is need of hour.  These machines are without the product feeding conveyor & they can’t be integrated either at upstream side or the downstream side. End user has to put the container in labelling machine and label applied. In this type of machine, human intervention is generally high & output is solely depending on human efficiency to put the container in machine and remove the container once labelling accomplished.

Automatic sticker labeling machine comes with conveyor and cab be easily connected to upstream and downstream machine through conveyor. They are mostly used in automated packaging line for getting moderate to high production. Here, human intervention is imitated to Self-Adhesive roll change as well as mass container loading on the product feeding conveyor.
