What labelling machine do I need?

There isn’t a single labelling machine that suits every application. The right choice depends on what you’re labelling, how the label is applied, and how your production line operates.

To identify the most suitable solution, a few key factors need to be considered:

  • The type of product being labelled (for example bottles, vials, boxes, pouches or trays)
  • Where the label is applied (top, side, wrap‑around, front/back)
  • Whether labels are pre‑printed or need to be printed with variable data
  • Required line speed and throughput rate, both now and in the future
  • Level of automation on the production line

Products

Once these points are clear, it becomes straightforward to determine whether a semi‑automatic applicator, fully automatic labelling system or print and apply solution is the best fit.

At ALS, we start with the application, not the model number. We recommend labelling machines based on how they will perform in real production conditions — and advise against solutions that are unsuitable for the job.

In short, the right labelling machine depends on your application.
By understanding your product, label type and line speed, the most appropriate solution quickly becomes clear.
