Self-adhesive labeling machine

Pressure-sensitive labelling machines use pre-glued labels supplied on a reel of release paper or film. They require no water to make the adhesive stick.

Due to their popularity, they have replaced many traditional forms of wet glue application. The advantages are that there is no liquid glue or heat required in the process and the label can be made from materials other than paper. The labels can be pre-cut into complex shapes on the reel by means of a die-cutter and stored on the reel until required, with minimal risk of damage. This method of application enables labels to be applied at medium/high speed to soft packages, as well as rigid containers and where the product could be damaged by water or heat.

Many applications require pressure sensitive labeling technology. Pressure sensitive labels have an adhesive glue backing that will adhere to most surfaces when pressure is applied.

Customized labels are fed from rolls into the labeling machine. The labels then work down the machine onto an applicator grid towards the vacuum applicator grid. At this stage, automatic pressure sensitive labelers use light or moderate pressure to apply labels to the product. This pressure activates the adhesive causing the label to stick to the product.
