Top and bottom labeling for clean and efficient labeling

What is top and bottom labeling?

Top and bottom labeling refers to the practice of placing a label on the front of a product (top) and another label on the back (bottom). This is commonly used for products such as food, beverages, and cosmetics. Top and bottom labeling allows manufacturers to place more information on their products than if only one label is used. For example, the front of a food product can include nutritional information and ingredients, while the back can be labeled with other information such as preparation instructions or directions for use. Top and bottom labeling is also useful for distinguishing products from each other. For example, beverage bottles that have the same label on the front may have different labels on the back to distinguish them from one another.

How does top and bottom labeling work?

In fully automatic labeling machines, products are usually arranged on a conveyor belt. The labeling machine scans the product and labels it accordingly. There must be two labeling stations for top and bottom labeling. The first station labels the product from above and the second station labels the product from below. The labeling stations can be either side by side or one behind the other. Typically, the product is labeled first by the first station and then by the second station. Alternatively, the stations can be set to label the product from above and below simultaneously. The accuracy of the label positioning is controlled by a sensor. The labeling machine can be set so that the product is only labeled by the second station if the label from the first station is correctly positioned. This ensures that the product is always labeled correctly.
