When your company only needs to fulfill a small number of orders, manual labeling can be a good choice. However, as the order quantity grows, manual labeling can’t meet the growing demands. So you can take advantage of pressure sensitive labeling machine to increase throughput, ensure perfect label registration and container shape conformance.

What’s the difference between a semi-automatic and an automatic labeling machine?

Both types of labeling machines can apply labels automatically, but the labeling speeds vary greatly due to the way they are loaded and activated.
The two kinds of labeling machines require a personnel who must manually load the products onto the machine. But in automatic labeling machines, allow multiple products to be loaded and lined up for labeling, speeding up the labeling process. On the contrary, semi automatic bottle labeling machine can only load one products at a time.
