Cosmetic and personal-care packaging comes in many shapes, so the machine follows the container. Round bottles and jars take wrap-around labels: the semi-automatic round bottle labeler handles short runs at 15–30 pcs/min and ±0.5 mm, the automatic positioning labeler runs at 30–60 pcs/min, and the roll-rubbing wrap-around labeler reaches 60–120 pcs/min for single labels. Flat bottles such as shampoo bottles are labeled on both sides at once at 25–60 pcs/min. Lipstick tubes and other small cylinders that will not stand are labeled lying down at 100–200 pcs/min.
