Rotary Labeling Systems & Applicators

Gernep specializes in the manufacture of wrap-around labelers using various labeling technologies depending on the application. We focus exclusively on rotary labelers, which transfer the bottles or containers onto a rotary turret to handle label application positively.

Our labelers efficiently manage single wrap labeling or multiple label application to one bottle. For example, glass beer bottles often consist of a body wrap label and a neck label. Our rotary labelers regulate the bottle’s orientation for the exact positioning of each separate label.

Gernep incorporates different labeling technologies to manufacture their front-and-back labelers. Our rotary labelers come equipped with pressure-sensitive, hot glue, or cold glue applicators; a combination of technologies is also possible.

Our rotary labelers are skillful at double-label application, and they achieve this with a quick 180⁰ rotation between each application. Bottles are held between a bottle plate and a centering bell while traveling through the rotary turret. Each course is controlled mechanically or electronically, with cams and steering crosses or with servo motors.

Gernep manufactures 3, 4, or 5-panel labelers using distinct labeling technologies depending on application requirements. The rotary labelers efficiently transfer bottles or containers to a rotary turret for positive handling during label application.

Multi-panel labeling, also referred to as 3, 4, or 5-panel labeling, is a single label application to multiple sides of a square, rectangular, or triangular-shaped bottle. Vicks® NyQuil™ bottles are a great example of 3-panel labeling. Edible oils are also commonly packaged in a square-shaped container with 4-panel labeling, also referred to wrap-around. 5-panel labeling may sound odd, but it relates to a particular label application where both label edges will meet in the center of a bottle panel.
