The main benefits of a hot melt cut & stack labeler is the low cost of labels and non-stop production capacity of the system. A stack of pre-cut labels without adhesive is placed in a magazine and a hot melt glue system will spray glue dots on the bottle and trailing edge of the labels prior the label application on the bottles.

Hot Melt Cut & Stack labeling(also called pre-cut labels) is perfect for full wrap applications on round or square bottles. Another benefit is machine cleaning, which is limited to removing dust or some glue residue on the label applicator once when needed. The main benefit is the versatility when it comes to size and shape of labels, which requires minimal change parts and quick changeovers. The labels come in rolls and the labeler will peel-off the labels from the backing paper and apply it to the bottles or containers. Pressure-sensitive labeling is certainly the most popular today when it comes to bottle decoration in many industries. However, there exist other labeling technologies that could be very beneficial in terms of label cost and performance depending of your products. In North America, pressure-sensitive labelers are very popular and many people have some degree of knowledge about them. If you are familiar with bottling lines and packaging machinery, chances are you have seen many labeling machines during your career. A rotary labeler will have dedicated bottle change parts, such as infeed and outfeed starwheels and guiding rails. Typically, an inline labeler will have mechanical adjustments like sliding rails and height adjustment depending on the size of containers. One important difference between an inline labeler and a rotary labeler is the bottle change parts. The circular design allows to integrate several labeling station (up to 9 on larger machines) in a relatively small footprint, when compared to an inline labeler. The turret size will vary in diameter depending on speed requirement and how many labeling stations will be integrated to the machine. Each bottle plate can rotate 360⁰ in any direction to achieve optimal bottle position to apply the label. On the turret, each bottle is positively held between a bottle plate at the bottom and a centering bell at the top. The bottles stay on the conveyor during label application with an inline labeler, but with a rotary labeler, the bottles are transferred on a turret during label application. The main difference between an inline labeler and a rotary labeler is the bottle handling. Generally speaking, high speed application is also a good fit for a rotary labeler because of the way we handle the bottles and also because we can offer non-stop labeling capacity in a small footprint. On the other hand, if you need to apply 4 different labels on a wine bottle and align the label with an embossed logo in the glass, this sounds like a job for a rotary labeler.

The same is true if you need to apply front & back labels to a straight wall rectangular bottle at 80 bottles per minute. For example, if you need to apply a wrap label to a round bottle at 50 bottles per minute, this could easily be done with an inline labeler. As a general rule, inline labelers are perfect for simple applications and rotary labelers are perfect for complex or high speed label application.
