Everything You Need to Know About Jam Labeling Machines

If you’ve ever admired perfectly labeled jam containers on grocery store shelves, the you’ve witnessed the ingenuity of jam labeling machines. A well-labeled jam container can not only be attractive to customers, but also enhance brand identity. In this blog, we will discover what jam labeling machine is, how it works, and how many types it has.

What Is A Jam Labeling Machine?

A jam labeling machine can perform automatic processes of separating stickers from label rolls and attaching them onto containers. These machines are used in jam production line to realize automatic labeling of jam containers. They can be used for handling different sizes and types of containers, including round glass jars, square bottles, buckets and tin cans.

How Does A Jam Labeling Machine Work?

Though the complexity may vary, most of jam labeling machines follow these general  steps:

1. Container Feeding: When jam containers are put on conveyor or feeding system, they would be separated by separating structure, ensuring they can be spaced evenly and labeled orderly.

2. Label Dispensing: Labels, either from a roll or magazine, are fed into the machine. Labeling machine utilizes a sensor to control accurate outputting and peeling of labels. If machine is equipped with label printer, it will print information on labels at the same time.

3. Label Attaching:When each container passes by, a mechanism will apply labels to containers. Depending on different requirements, the machine might use self-adhesive labels, paper or heat shrinkable sleeves.

4. Smoothing And Pressing: Additional rollers or brush will press labels firmly onto the containers. This makes sure the bubbles are eliminated and labels are pasted onto containers properly.

5. Inspection And Ejection: Some advanced systems might integrate with sensors or vision systems to check if labeling is proper. After inspection, the containers will be conveyed to next packaging process.

What Factors To Consider When Choosing A Jam Labeling Machine?

1. Production Capacity: Large-scale factories need fully-automatic equipment. Small-scale factories or startups might need semi-automatic or manual machines.

2. Container Shape And Size:Make sure the machines work well with your container shape and size.

3. Label Type: Different labels, including self-adhesive labels, glue-based labels and shrinkable labels, require different labeling machines to complete label attaching. What’s more, for blank labels, you may need a label printer to realize information printing.

4. Available Space:Consider the footprint of the machine in your production area.
