Selecting the right labelling machine is important for businesses aiming to ensure quality and efficiency in their packaging processes. Whether you’re in the cosmetics, food and beverage, chemical, or emerging sectors like CBD and e-liquids, a well-chosen automatic or semi-automatic labeller can revolutionize your production line.
This comprehensive guide provides insights into the key criteria and available solutions to help you select the best labelling machine for your needs.
Why is a labelling machine essential?
Labeling is not just a technical step—it’s a vital communication tool for your products. A well-applied label reflects quality and professionalism while meeting industry regulations. Furthermore, automatic labellers and semi-automatic labellers optimize processes, reduce errors, and boost productivity.
Labelling machines are designed to handle various container shapes (cylindrical, conical, square) and meet the specific demands of different industries. Here’s how to choose the equipment best suited to your products.
Key criteria for selecting a Labelling Machine
1. Type of Product
Different products have unique requirements:
- Cosmetics: Products require precise and aesthetically pleasing labelling. A semi-automatic labeller like the Ninette Auto is ideal for small batches, while the Ninon Mix handles larger volumes and various bottle shapes (cylindrical, conical, square).
- Food & Beverage: From jars to glass or plastic bottles, machines like the Ninon 1500/2500 manage high-speed labelling with excellent precision.
- Chemicals: Labelling must comply with strict standards and use adhesive materials resistant to corrosive substances.
- E-liquids: Small containers, such as bottles, require compact labellers for precision.
2. Size and Shape of Containers
The container’s size and shape directly influence your machine choice:
- Cylindrical: A semi-automatic labeller like the Ninette Auto or an automatic model like the Ninon 1500/2500 ensures precise labelling.
- Square or Conical: The Ninon Mix easily handles these shapes with its multi-format options.
3. Production Volume
- Small-scale production: A semi-automatic labeller is sufficient for low-volume or artisanal operations.
- Large-scale production: High-speed automatic labellers capable of processing thousands of products per hour are essential for industrial requirements.
4. Industry-Specific Demands
Each industry has its own needs:
- Food & Beverage: Hygiene standards and moisture-resistant labels are vital.
- Cosmetics: Aesthetic precision and adaptability to diverse formats are key.
- Chemicals: Durability against corrosive products and enhanced traceability are critical.
Tips for Choosing the Right Labelling Machine
- Assess Production Needs: Determine your production volume and container specifications.
- Define Objectives: Focus on improving speed, precision, and error reduction.
- Plan for Scalability: Choose a machine that can adapt to your expanding product range.
- Consider Features: Look for multi-format capabilities, adjustable speeds, and customizable labelling systems.
