In the wine industry, showcasing a cuvée doesn’t stop at what’s inside the bottle. Packaging plays a important role. Two steps are particularly important: sealing and labelling wine bottles. CDA, a packaging machine manufacturer, offers a dedicated range of sealers and labelers designed for winemakers and wineries.
1. Sealing: ensuring the bottle’s aesthetic appeal
Sealing consists of applying a capsule (aluminum or tin) around the bottle neck. This step:
- Protects the cork
- Enhances the visual appeal of the bottle
- Meets regulatory and traceability requirements
CDA offers automatic and semi-automatic sealers adapted to different production speeds. They guarantee wrinkle-free and consistent capsule application for red, white, rosé, or sparkling wines.
2. Labelling: Packaging that serves your brand image
The label is the identity card of the wine: it must be legible, attractive, and compliant with regulations. In the wine sector, labelling often includes multiple elements:
- Front label
- Back label (legal information, grape varieties, vintage)
- Neck label or medals (awards from competitions)

Sealing applies an aluminum or tin capsule tightly around the neck, while capping uses a shrink capsule or PVC sleeve. The choice depends on wine type, brand image, and budget.
Which machine should I choose for sealing wine bottles?
Automatic sealers are best for wineries with high output. For small or medium-scale production, semi-automatic sealers deliver professional results with lower investment.
What solutions exist for wine bottle labelling?
Automatic labelers are ideal for industrial-scale operations, while semi-automatic labelers suit smaller wineries. Both ensure precise application of front labels, back labels, and neck labels.
