Banderolage: an effective solution for high speeds
Banderolage is a method commonly used for labelling cylindrical products such as bottles, jars, and flacons. This technique involves moving containers to the labelling station, where they are rotated using motorized bands that “sandwich” the product. As a result, the label wraps around the container smoothly without stopping its movement.
Advantages of banderolage:
- Full wrapping: The label is applied around the entire product, ensuring an aesthetic presentation.
- High speed: Ideal for large batches, as the continuous labelling process enables high throughput without interruption.
Disadvantages of banderolage:
- Precision required: Incorrect label tension can lead to misalignments and affect the quality of the labelling.
- Less versatility: This method is best suited for cylindrical containers without any marked relief or complex shapes.
Ninon Wrap: Our banderolage labelling machine
The Ninon Wrap is specifically designed for banderolage, providing a continuous and uniform application of labels on cylindrical products.
Ninon Wrap Key Features:
- Fast speed: Thanks to banderolage technology, it ensures quick label application.
- Ease of use: The intuitive interface makes operation straightforward.
- Memory of formats: It can store up to 50 product formats, making format changes quicker and optimizing production time.
With its banderolage system, the Ninon Wrap is the perfect choice for industries looking to combine high productivity with uncompromising labelling quality.
3-Point Labelling: a precise and adaptable solution
The 3-point labelling technique is suitable for a wide variety of products and shapes, including cylindrical, rectangular, conical, and oval containers. In this system, the container is transported to the labelling station, where it is rotated using a smoothing roller and a pressing cylinder. As the product rotates, one or more labels are applied.
This method is particularly appreciated for products that require perfect label placement, such as in the cosmetics industry, where precision is essential for various shapes and formats.
Advantages of 3-point labelling:
- High precision: Ensures perfect alignment, even on textured surfaces, providing superior visual quality.
- Versatility: Compatible with a range of container formats, including oval, rectangular, or conical products.
Disadvantages of 3-point labelling:
- Limited speed: This method is slower than banderolage for large batches, which may reduce productivity for high-volume production.
- Less effective on very small or very large products: The mechanical constraints of the three-point system may limit its application on certain container sizes.
Solo & Ninon Ranges: 3-Point labelling for your products
At CDA, the Solo & Ninon ranges use this technology to provide a reliable and easy-to-integrate solution for various productions.
- Solo range: Compact and efficient, ensuring clean and consistent application for all product formats.
- Ninon range: Designed for higher speeds, it works on the same principle but allows the application of multiple labels (up to five per container), saving time for production lines with diverse products.
With these two solutions, CDA offers precise, adaptable, and high-performing labelling, while remaining simple to use.
Which solution to choose?
The choice between banderolage and 3-point labelling depends on your production needs and product specifications:
- Large batches with standard formats? Opt for banderolage, which offers high speed.
- Need for high precision and adaptability to various product formats? Choose 3-point labelling for perfect alignment.
- Need an evolving machine? Some machines combine both methods for optimal flexibility.
Banderolage and 3-point labelling are both effective solutions that meet different needs. The choice between these two methods will largely depend on your requirements in terms of speed, precision, and the type of product being labelled.
At CDA, we offer a wide range of labelling machines that are adaptable to various industrial needs. Whether you’re looking for a fast solution for large batches or a more precise approach for diverse formats, our experts are here to help you define the best labelling strategy for your production.
