The application
What the equipment is for.
This labelling layout combines bottle transport with a roll-fed label mechanism and product-guiding elements. The machine is developed around the container surface, label format and presentation method. Label placement, indexing and integration with upstream filling and downstream packaging are agreed for the line.
Applications to discuss
- Bottle labelling
- Container identification and presentation
- Filling-line packaging integration
Developed around the requirement01 02 03

Handling and application
Develop guides, label feed and the mechanism needed for consistent presentation.
Line interfaces
Scope controls, sensing, changeover and machine transitions.
Materials, dimensions, operating range, output, controls and delivery scope are confirmed in the project proposal.

Matching the label system to the container
Use these notes to define the application before choosing the final equipment configuration.
Working principle
A bottle labelling machine positions a container and applies an agreed label format. Pressure-sensitive labels, glued labels and sleeves are different technologies with different material handling. QDM’s reference layout provides a basis for discussing the chosen bottle and label, rather than claiming that all label types are supported by the same configuration.
Configuration decisions
Supply the container geometry and the label material or roll specification. A cylindrical bottle and a shaped container need different locating decisions. The desired seam or orientation can affect how a container is presented and turned. Label roll width, liner behaviour and the artwork registration requirements should be reviewed alongside the mechanical feed.
Planning the first build
Development trials should compare position, appearance and adhesion on representative containers. Agree the inspection criterion, missing-label response and format-change procedure. Printing or coding can be included as a separate module where requested. The final machine scope should define the application method, operating cycle and line interfaces, with output and positioning targets checked for the specified formats.
Project-specific technical parameters
Values to define before the build.
The table identifies the reference arrangement and the values to agree for your application.
| Parameter | Configuration / value | Confirm before manufacture |
|---|---|---|
| Container geometry | Defined shape and dimensions | Provide samples and locating features |
| Label technology | Selected application method | Confirm material and adhesive |
| Label size | Defined in mm | Supply artwork and application area |
| Roll specification | Core, direction and liner as applicable | Confirm supplier details |
| Position target | Agreed in mm or visual reference | Define inspection and orientation |
| Product feed | Manual or line-fed as scoped | Review spacing and stability |
| Additional modules | Coding or inspection where quoted | Define signals and acceptance |
