16” Semi-Automatic Bottle Labeler with Optical Sensor

Designed for wide-format labeling, this machine can apply labels up to 12½ inches in height, making it ideal for taller bottles and containers requiring larger label coverage. It can label straight-sided and cylindrical products as well as jars, tins, tubs and specialty containers.

The Race Label Wide Format Labeling Machine can also accommodate unique shapes such as ovals, squares, soft-squares, flasks and rectangles. No electrical power is required, providing a simple and flexible labeling solution for a variety of packaging applications.

What Is a Wide Format Label Applicator?

A wide format label applicator is a labeling machine designed to apply larger or taller pressure-sensitive labels to bottles, containers and packages that require more label coverage than standard labeling equipment can accommodate. Wide format applicators are particularly useful for tall bottles, square containers, specialty packaging and products with unusual or non-cylindrical shapes.

Unlike standard labelers designed primarily for conventional cylindrical containers, wide format labeling equipment can provide greater flexibility for products requiring larger labels or specialized application methods. This makes wide format label applicators a practical solution for wineries, distilleries, specialty beverage producers, food manufacturers and other businesses using unique bottle and container designs.

Why Use a Wide Format Label Applicator?

A wide format label applicator can help producers apply larger labels consistently while accommodating challenging container shapes. Depending on the machine configuration, applications can include square, rectangular, oval, soft-square and other specialty bottles and containers.

The Race Label Wide Format Label Applicator is designed specifically for square, odd-shaped and non-cylindrical bottles. Its patented Spring Plate attachment helps accommodate unusual container shapes, while the wide-format configuration can apply labels up to 12½ inches high. This combination makes it well suited for products requiring large-format labels or specialized labeling coverage.

For producers looking to automate or improve the consistency of labeling on larger or uniquely shaped containers, a wide format label applicator provides a flexible alternative to manual labeling and standard cylindrical bottle labeling equipment.

Patented Spring Plate for Odd-Shaped Containers

The Race Label Wide Format Labeling Machine features a patented Spring Plate attachment designed to help apply pressure-sensitive labels to square, odd-shaped and non-cylindrical bottles and containers. This specialized component provides flexibility when labeling products that may not work well with conventional cylindrical bottle labeling equipment.

The Spring Plate helps maintain contact with the container during label application, allowing the machine to accommodate a variety of product shapes while maintaining consistent label placement. This makes the Race Label system particularly useful for specialty bottles and packaging where flat, square or irregular surfaces present labeling challenges.

Designed for Challenging Container Shapes

The Race Label Wide Format Applicator can accommodate a variety of container profiles, including:

• Square bottles
• Rectangular containers
• Oval bottles
• Soft-square bottles
• Flasks
• Straight-sided containers
• Other non-cylindrical packaging

The wide-format configuration also supports labels up to 12½ inches high, making it a practical option for products requiring larger label coverage. By combining the Spring Plate attachment with wide-format labeling capabilities, the Race Label system provides a flexible solution for producers that need to label unique bottle shapes and larger-format labels.

For businesses labeling specialty bottles, the Spring Plate can help simplify the application process while providing a more consistent alternative to manually positioning labels on each container.

Container Shapes the Race Label Wide Format Applicator Can Handle

The Race Label Wide Format Applicator is designed for products that can be challenging to label with conventional cylindrical bottle labeling equipment. Its patented Spring Plate attachment provides flexibility for applying pressure-sensitive labels to a variety of square, irregular and non-cylindrical containers.

Square Bottles

Square bottles provide distinctive branding opportunities but can require specialized labeling equipment. The Race Label system is designed to apply labels to square bottles while helping maintain consistent positioning during application.

Rectangular Containers

Rectangular containers offer broad labeling surfaces but may require a labeling system capable of accommodating their shape. The wide-format Race Label configuration can be used for rectangular bottles and other suitable containers.

Oval Bottles

Oval bottles have curved surfaces that differ from traditional round containers. The Race Label system is designed to accommodate oval-shaped products while providing controlled label application.

Soft-Square Bottles

Soft-square bottles combine flat sides with rounded corners, creating unique labeling challenges. The Spring Plate attachment helps the applicator adapt to these specialized container profiles.

Flasks

Flask-shaped bottles are commonly used for specialty beverages and spirits and can have unusual contours that make manual labeling inconsistent. The Race Label Wide Format Applicator provides a specialized option for labeling suitable flask-shaped containers.

Straight-Sided and Cylindrical Containers

Although designed with specialty containers in mind, the Race Label system can also accommodate straight-sided and cylindrical products. This flexibility allows producers to use one labeling solution across multiple container formats where the application requirements are compatible.

Other Non-Cylindrical Containers

The Race Label Wide Format Applicator can also be considered for other uniquely shaped containers with suitable labeling surfaces. Because container dimensions, surface contours and label specifications can affect application results, product and label testing is recommended before selecting equipment.

With support for square, rectangular, oval, soft-square, flask and other non-cylindrical containers, the Race Label Wide Format Applicator provides a flexible solution for producers that need consistent labeling across specialty bottle designs.
