Automatic Labeling Machine For Wine Bottles and Neck Bands that delivers shelf-ready finish at full line speed
Your label is your first pour. Shoppers judge the bottle in seconds, so the body label and neck band must land smooth, straight, and aligned with your design. Therefore your labeler must handle tall bottles, tapered glass, and capsules without drama, so your team hits speed and protects brand story.
Quadrel Labeling Systems builds an Automatic Labeling Machine For Wine Bottles and Neck Bands that applies pressure-sensitive labels with tight control. We stabilize glass, we manage tension, and we verify placement. As a result, your reds, whites, rosés, and sparkling wines leave the line looking premium and consistent.
Short answer: The Automatic Labeling Machine For Wine Bottles and Neck Bands applies front/back, wrap, and neck-band labels to 187 mL–1.5 L bottles at winery speeds, so your artwork stays straight and your capsules stay clean.
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 Wine Bottles and Neck Bands feeds each bottle, sets spacing, and applies the main label set under controlled pressure. Because many brands use a neck band, the machine places that second label precisely on the capsule or neck. It can print date and lot inline, and it rejects any fault, so cases stay uniform and rework stays low.
Why wineries choose Quadrel
- Premium finish: We tune wipe and dwell, so edges lie flat and clear films stay bubble-free.
- True alignment: Servo control holds position, therefore front and back labels line up across the punt and shoulder.
- Neck-band accuracy: Guides center the band on the capsule, so the seam looks intentional and neat.
- Fast changeovers: Tool-less guides and saved recipes cut downtime, so seasonal SKUs move quickly.
- Operator-friendly: The HMI uses clear prompts, so training stays simple and audits move faster.
How it fits your bottling line (step by step)
- Infeed: A spacer sets the gap and stabilizes the bottle, so handling stays gentle and steady.
- Body labels: The head applies front/back or wrap labels under controlled pressure, therefore seams stay smooth.
- Neck band: A dedicated station places the band on the neck or capsule, so the finish looks centered.
- Print (optional): The coder adds date/lot, so traceability stays clear from crush to case.
- Verify: Sensors or vision confirm presence and position, because every bottle must look right.
- Reject: The system removes any fault and confirms the pull, so only good product reaches pack-off.
- Record: The HMI logs counts and alarms, therefore you track rate and uptime easily.

Top questions wineries ask
Can it align front and back labels perfectly?
Yes. We use orientation and servo control, so front and back labels land on the same axis for a clean look.
Will neck bands center on capsules?
Yes. The neck-band station centers to the bottle’s neck or capsule seam, therefore the band looks even around the collar.
Does it handle textured papers?
Yes. We tune pressure and wipe for premium stocks, so textured papers seat well and stay flat.
Can we run both 750 mL and magnums on one machine?
Yes. With the right guides and recipes, you switch sizes in minutes, so special formats do not slow the line.
Do we need to dry bottles before labeling?
Light moisture happens. However, we design the path for good contact, so adhesion stays strong. Therefore we still suggest airflow when bottles are chilled.
Can we add QR codes or lot data inline?
Yes. We print date/lot or QR inline, so cases remain traceable from bottling to shelf.
How to choose the right configuration
- List bottle shapes and sizes, so we set guides and drives correctly.
- Pick label stocks and finishes, because paper vs. film changes wipe settings.
- Confirm neck-band width and position, so the seam sits where you want it.
- Decide on sensors or vision, therefore placement checks match your brand bar.
- Plan orientation needs (seam, punt, capsule), so graphics align with design intent.
- Map infeed/outfeed height and space, because integration details save install time.
Implementation and growth
We integrate with your filler, corker, capsule applicator, and pack-off. We provide standard signals and pacing logic, so control stays smooth. In addition, we support future modules, therefore you add options as your volumes rise or your packaging changes.
