When you start to consider buying a labeling machine, but you are not familiar with the labeling machine or even have not contacted the labeling machine, it is recommended that you start with the following aspects:
There are usually self-adhesive labels, OPP film labels, and pure paper labels on the outer packaging of the goods sold on the market. Self-adhesive labels are mainly affixed to cosmetics or high-end daily chemical products, such as laundry detergent, shower gel, shampoo, high-end liquor, mineral water bottles, beverage bottles and other products seen in daily life. . OPP film labels are essentially plastic labels, which are mainly affixed to low-end mineral water bottles and detergent bottles. Pure paper labels are now slowly withdrawing from the market. It is rarely seen that beer bottles in the past were basically labeled with pure paper.

Why are there self-adhesive labels, OPP film labels and pure paper labels? Because different labels can only be affixed with the corresponding labeling machine, and the cost is quite different, the effect of obtaining the outer packaging is also different. The self-adhesive label is to print the designed pattern on each label, the label is attached to the bottom paper, and then rolled into a roll, which can be applied to the product with a self-adhesive labeling machine.

Since the self-adhesive label has a backing paper and the label material is more expensive, when it is attached to the product, it looks beautiful and elegant, and obtains a higher packaging effect, such as the two sides of Rejoice or Head & Shoulders that you often see everyday Both of the labels are attached with self-adhesive labels.

OPP film is mainly affixed to relatively low-end products. For example, some mineral waters are labeled with OPP film. The cost of such labels is very low. Because the OPP film label is cheap and has no backing paper, it is applied with a hot melt adhesive labeling machine or a sleeve labeling machine. However, the material of this type of label is plastic, which cannot be degraded, and has great environmental pollution, and the visual effect of the outer packaging obtained is low, so it is slowly withdrawn from the market.

The cost of pure paper labels is very low. In the past, most beer bottles used a paste labeling machine to apply paper labels to beer bottles. However, the effect of paper label packaging is relatively poor. The most deadly thing is that once the beer is placed When you take it out in the refrigerator, the bottle will "sweat", so the paper label will slowly penetrate and soften. So now many labels on beer are changed to self-adhesive labels.

Generally, after the bottle is designed, which label should be used to affix the product depends on the price positioning and production output requirements. Generally skilled operators can paste 700 to 1,000 bottles per hour, but manual labeling is not only inaccurate, but also causes wrinkles or bubbles to affect the appearance.

Therefore, the general production requirement is more than 2,000 bottles per hour, especially the production requirement is more than 5,000 bottles per hour. Whether it is a stand-alone machine or the machine is connected to the production line, you must consider using a labeling machine. But if the single machine uses manual feeding, the general speed is about 3000 to 5000 bottles per hour.

Then the most important thing is that before designing the bottle, it is best to select the bottle type that the corresponding self-adhesive labeling machine can apply. Not all bottle types are suitable for labeling with the labeling machine. When the bottle design is unreasonable, not only can it not be labeled, but it will also have bubbles or unexpected defects.
