Food and beverage lines label containers at line speed. Upright bottles and cans are labeled by the automatic positioning round bottle labeler at 30–60 pcs/min and ±1 mm, in partial or full wrap; for single labels at higher output, the roll-rubbing wrap-around labeler handles bottles and jars at 60–120 pcs/min. Boxes and cartons get top labels at 40–120 pcs/min. When each label must carry a production date, barcode or QR code, the side print-and-apply labeler prints and applies it in one step, and frozen food, fruit and vegetables are labeled by print-and-blow at 10–15 pcs/min.
