Shape control
The machine should support the product through the labelling zone without twisting or bouncing.
Oval bottle labelling
Oval bottle front and back labelling machines
Oval bottles often need more control than flat containers because the product can rotate or move during label application. A front/back labeller should hold the container consistently while the two labels are applied to the intended panels.
Selection points
What to check before choosing a machine
- Designed for personal-care, food, chemical and household bottles with oval or rounded rectangular profiles.
- Top hold-down, guide rails and pressure control help maintain product position.
- Label material, radius and label length affect finish and repeatability.
- Trials are recommended where packs are lightweight, tapered or unusually shaped.
Label face selection
Front and back panels must be clearly defined so the labels sit on the correct area of the bottle.
Sample testing
Sending bottle and label samples helps confirm the right handling and sensor configuration.
