In the packaging sector, the bottle is your product’s calling card. Whether it’s wine, oil, craft beer, spirits, preserves or chemical products, the label must be applied flawlessly. GB-lab designs and manufactures bottle labelling machines specifically engineered to meet real-world geometric and production challenges, ensuring accurate, repeatable positioning with tolerances reduced to a minimum on any surface.

Our solutions are engineered to adapt instantly to every container geometry and type available on the market:

  • Cylindrical and Round Bottles: High-precision roller systems for applying single, front/back or wrap-around labels to standard formats.
  • Square and Rectangular Bottles: Pneumatic or conventional systems for straight application without bubbles or creases on flat sides.
  • Conical and Shaped Bottles: Adjustable and tiltable applicator units that follow the taper of the container, compensating for natural irregularities in the profile.

Comprehensive Handling of Standard and Transparent Labels

A major strength of GB-lab machines lies in their handling of paper or plastic labels. Thanks to the integration of advanced photoelectric sensors, our semi-automatic labelling machines are able to read both standard and transparent labels with ease.

Maximum compatibility with all materials

Our expertise enables us to handle glass bottles (which are often subject to casting imperfections and diameter tolerances) and plastic bottles such as PET, PE and PVC (lightweight containers that require careful pressure control to prevent deformation) with equal effectiveness. GB-lab semi-automatic labelling machines combine industrial reliability with the compact design of a benchtop machine.

Integrated Batch and Expiry Date Marking

Professional labelling is not merely about aesthetics; it must also comply with legal requirements regarding traceability. For this reason, we can integrate the very best batch and expiry date marking systems directly into the machine’s structure. Thanks to inkjet or heat transfer printers activated simultaneously with label application, you can print variable data in real time or produce crisp codes, completing the packaging process in a single operator action.
