Rollfed Labelers

Machines that remove a continuous roll of labels and separates and applies labels onto a container or package that is rotated while going through the label application head.

Category Explained

Rollfed labelers are automated machines that dispense and apply labels from a continuous roll onto containers or packages that are typically rotated during the labeling process. This rotation allows for precise and uniform label placement around the circumference of cylindrical or irregularly shaped items. The label is cut from the roll, positioned, and applied using adhesives, heat, or pressure, depending on the application.

These machines are ideal for high-speed production lines and are commonly used in packaging operations across food and beverage, household products, pharmaceuticals, and personal care industries. Rollfed labelers help reduce material waste by using thinner, linerless labels and can support full-wrap or partial label formats.

Typical products and applications include:

  • Beverage bottles: Applying full-wrap labels to water, soda, or juice containers made of PET or glass
  • Canned goods: Labeling metal or aluminum cans for soups, vegetables, or pet foods
  • Household cleaners: Attaching shrink or pressure-sensitive labels to curved plastic bottles
  • Personal care items: Wrapping shampoo, lotion, or soap bottles with high-quality printed labels
  • Nutritional supplements: Labeling large-volume cylindrical containers with branding and regulatory info

Additional Considerations:

  • Reduces label waste through use of linerless roll stock
  • Capable of very high speeds, making them suitable for large-scale operations
  • Flexible for full-wrap or partial label placement
  • Accommodates a wide range of label substrates and adhesives
  • Can be integrated with inspection systems to check label placement and quality
