Automatic labeling machine for jars and containers that boosts speed, accuracy, and shelf appeal
Your label tells your story in one glance. Because shoppers scan fast, your jars and containers must look clean and consistent. Therefore you need tight placement, quick changeovers, and clear codes. In addition, schedules shift and launches move, so your line must stay ready every day.
Quadrel Labeling Systems builds an automatic labeling machine for jars and containers that keeps lines moving and brands looking sharp. We steady each container, we control tension, and we verify placement. As a result, you ship great product, you hit targets, and you protect margins. Moreover, you keep training simple, so new operators come up to speed quickly.
Quick answer: The automatic labeling machine for jars and containers prints and applies pressure-sensitive labels to round and straight-wall packages. It handles wrap, front/back, top, bottom, and tamper-evident C-wraps. Because coding matters, it also supports date and lot printing with checks. Consequently, quality stays high even at speed.
Bottle Labeling System

Can and Bottle Labeling System
This high speed non-stop zero downtime labeling system features servo driven product handling, all overhead electronics, Ethernet connection providing real time system status, & Allen-Bradley® PLC control color touchscreen HMI.
The TechLine PET beverage labeling system aligns and squares thin walled containers, allowing minimal label skew, high production rates of up to 175 bottles per minute, and is ideal for medium-sized bottled water packagers.
This rotary labeling system is designed for beer, wine or distilled spirits glass containers at speeds up to 200 bottles per minute. Featuring Allen-Bradley PLC control, AB PanelView color touchscreen and programmable bottle platforms.
This system utilizes Allen Bradley PLC control and trap and spin orientation. It has the ability to over label or apply new labels with export specified information, directly over existing labels on wine and distilled spirit bottles.
This wine labeling system is designed specifically for the needs of mobile bottling lines, wine oriented contract packagers and medium size wineries. The vacuumized wrap station allows front/back labels to be applied to round glass bottles at speeds up to 160ppm.
This is a rugged, compact, economically priced mobile labeling system is designed specifically for beer cans or bottles. Built for mobility, this machine features custom leg jacks and larger castors. Other features include stainless steel construction, PLC control and color touchscreen operator interface. Speeds up to 50 cans per minute.
This unique labeling system utilizes an Allen Bradley PLC control to apply an oriented neck label to wine or distilled spirits containers, as part of a three-label package (front, back and neck). This is ideal for round, square and oval containers.
What this solution does (in plain language)
The automatic labeling machine for jars and containers feeds each container, applies labels with controlled pressure, and confirms presence and position. In addition, it adapts to many shapes and sizes, so food, beauty, and household SKUs all run on one platform. If a unit misses spec, the machine rejects it; therefore pack-off stays clean and rework stays low.
Who benefits from this system
- Food brands that label sauces, salsas, nut butters, honey, and pickles
- Beauty lines that label creams, scrubs, balms, and serums
- Household products that label cleaners, waxes, and specialty items
- Contract packers that run short batches with frequent changeovers
These teams choose an automatic labeling machine for jars and containers because they need premium finish and steady throughput at the same time. Furthermore, they want fewer touchpoints, so they reduce errors and labor.
Container and label formats you can run
- Round jars from travel minis to family sizes
- Straight-wall containers with front/back sets
- Top labels for lids and flavor IDs
- Bottom labels for barcodes and batch data
- Tamper-evident C-wraps that bridge lid and sidewall
- Paper, film, clear “no-label look,” matte, gloss, and foil
One automatic labeling machine for jars and containers covers many SKUs; therefore you scale your catalog without buying a second labeler. Also, you keep maintenance simple because key parts repeat across modules.
How it works (step by step)
- Feed: The infeed sets spacing and centers each container, so handling stays smooth and gentle.
- Stabilize: A top hold-down or wrap belt stops wobble; therefore graphics line up and edges meet cleanly.
- Print: The coder adds date and lot, so traceability remains clear and audits move faster.
- Apply: The head dispenses and wipes the label with controlled pressure; consequently bubbles and silvering stay low.
- Verify: Sensors or vision confirm presence and position, because every unit must look right.
- Reject: The system removes any fault and confirms removal, so no bad unit reaches pack-off.
- Record: The HMI logs counts and alarms; therefore you track rate, uptime, and rejects in real time.
Why choose Quadrel
- Premium finish: We tune pressure and wipe to prevent bubbles on clear films; in addition, we align art to emboss marks.
- Fast changeovers: Tool-less guides and saved recipes cut downtime, so short runs stay profitable.
- Precise control: Servo drives hold position tightly; therefore artwork lands where you planned.
- Modular growth: Add top labelers, bottom coders, or tamper stations as you expand; meanwhile, keep the same base.
- Operator friendly: Clear HMI prompts guide each step; consequently, training stays short and results stay consistent.
Compliance and content support
Labels often carry product name, net weight, ingredients, allergens, nutrition, directions, and warnings. Because space is tight, alignment matters. We keep placement steady and fonts readable. We do not give legal advice; however, we support your plan with accurate placement and reliable coding. Therefore audits move faster, and checks stay simple. Additionally, we help select materials that meet moisture, oil, or freezer needs.

Buying checklist
- List sizes, materials, and target speeds, so we size the drive correctly.
- Choose label styles and finishes, because materials change wipe and pressure settings.
- Confirm print needs for date, lot, and barcodes; consequently, you pass audits easily.
- Define inspection rules and reject logic; therefore operators know pass/fail fast.
- Plan changeover frequency and operator count, so we tailor guides and recipes.
- Map floor space, line heights, and utilities, because integration details save install time.
FAQs
Can the machine run both small jars and large containers?
Yes. We supply guides and recipes for multiple diameters; therefore operators switch sizes in minutes while alignment stays tight.
Can you achieve a “no-label look” on curved glass?
Yes. We control pressure and wipe; as a result, clear film seats smoothly and stays nearly invisible.
Will labels align with lid graphics or container embossing?
Yes. We use orientation aids and saved setups; consequently, artwork lines up across batches.
Can we add tamper-evident seals without big speed loss?
Yes. We include a C-wrap or bridge-seal station, so you add security and keep rate.
How fast can it run?
Speed depends on size and inspection; however, we match your goals, so rate and finish both meet target.
Is cleaning simple for food and beauty lines?
Yes. Open access and smooth surfaces help operators wipe down fast; therefore downtime stays low.
Line integration and growth
We connect to your fillers, cappers, induction sealers, and pack-off. In addition, we share standard signals and pacing logic, so control stays smooth. Moreover, we support future modules; therefore your investment stays flexible as your catalog grows.
