A producer of natural personal care products needed a single labeling system that could wrap apply decorative labels to both their oblong-shaped deodorant stick containers and to their round lotion bottles. Increased throughput, accurate label application, and quick change-overs from one container to another were specific needs that could not be met with their current labeling set up.

The solution was to configure the Inline Series 6000 labeling system with the reliable 3115 Wipe-On applicator and a selection of available options to make the quick change from round to oblong containers (and vice-versa) possible. The result was the Inline 6000 Wrap Labeling System.

For round containers, the 6000's wrap belt spins the moving bottles several times against a padded pressure plate after the point of application, ensuring accurate and wrinkle-free labels every time. After a quick change-over, the oblong-shaped containers must first pass through the 6000's chain aligner.

A top trap holds the product in place while the leading edge of the label is applied to a specific spot on the container. Again, the wrap belt spins the moving containers against a padded pressure plate making several revolutions.
