Label Peeling Principle

The machine relies on the rigidity and elastic force of the label being greater than the adhesion between the label and its backing paper. By implementing a 172-degree sharp turn on the backing paper, the label is forced to separate from it, achieving the "peeling" process.

Label Feeding Principle

The traction mechanism pulls the backing paper, guiding the label through the peeling mechanism. As the backing paper makes a 172-degree turn at the peeling plate corner, the rigidity of the label surpasses the adhesion between labels, causing the label to detach from the backing paper. As the backing paper continues to be pulled, the label is continuously dispensed, completing the "feeding" action.

Label Application Principle

The label adheres to the target surface with the help of rollers, brushes, or rubber sheets, which apply linear pressure in sequence, ensuring the label is firmly attached to the product surface.

Labeling Machine Control Core Principle

An external signal (usually a product detection signal or foot pedal signal) is input into the control center (typically a PLC). The control center analyzes and processes the input, then sends control signals to drive the motor and traction mechanism, pulling the backing paper and dispensing the label, which is then applied to the target surface.

Assess your production demands before choosing a labeling machine. Take into account the daily output volume, the needed speed (manual: 5-10/min, semi-auto: 10-30/min, full-auto: 30-400+/min), and the precision (±0.1mm for high-accuracy sectors like pharmaceuticals, ±1mm for general usage). Next, examine your label type (self-adhesive, glue-based, sleeve, or RFID) and container parameters (flat, round, or irregular forms).

Your production size should determine the amount of automation you need: full-auto for high-speed, integrated lines, semi-auto for medium batches with changeover requirements, and manual for low-volume flexibility. Industry-specific specifications are also important: pharmaceuticals need traceability, food requires hygienic designs, cosmetics require high-end finishing, and industrial applications require long-lasting structure.

Always use real samples for testing, think about future scalability, and balance ROI (usually 6–24 months) with budget. Modular systems that go from semi-auto to full-auto are perfect for expanding companies. For a customized machine suggestion, include your production goals, label specifications, and container samples.
