What Is Wrap-Around Labeling?

Wrap-around labeling is a process in which a label is applied to the curved surface of a container so that it completely or partially encircles the product. Companies use this technique to make sure that the available space on the product is used wisely. Many companies use wrap-around labeling because legal requirements demand that important information, such as ingredients and usage instructions, be printed on the product. In this way, the label does more than just decorate the container; it also provides critical data for customers and regulators.

But, achieving flawless results isn’t simple. Variations in container sizes, production speeds, and label materials create unique challenges.

However, by automate labeleing machine wrapping labels seamlessly around containers, manufacturers can maximize space utilization while creating a polished, professional appearance.

How Do Wrap-Around Labeling Machines Work?

As bottles or jars enter the wrap‐around labeling machine via a single conveyor, they pass through a station where two synchronized belts work in tandem. One belt steadily separates the label from its backing and presses it onto the container, while the opposing belt rotates the container to ensure even application. This coordinated process not only moves the product forward but also provides the consistent pressure necessary for a secure adhesive bond.

When the container reaches the wrap belt station, the pressure-sensitive label is dispensed so that its leading edge is caught precisely in the nip between the product and the belt. The labeler then continues to feed the label as the container rotates fully, ensuring complete coverage. Once labeling is complete, the product exits the conveyor, ready either for packaging or to continue along the production line.

Our adaptable bottle labeling machine can be easily configured for various container and label sizes, making it an excellent solution for businesses upgrading from manual to automated labeling systems.
