Enhancing Labeling Accuracy and Shelf Appeal with Our New Strip Label Applicator

When it comes to packaging, every detail matters—especially your labels. A crooked or poorly applied label can mean the difference between a product that gets picked up and one that gets passed over. Accuracy in label application is a critical component of an efficient packaging line and maintaining shelf appeal for consumers. Automating this process helps reduce human error and labor while improving consistency.

As marketing teams add more strip labels [tax stamps] to liquor bottles, the need to retrofit existing lines with automated labelers has grown. That’s why we’re excited to introduce our latest innovation: the Strip Label Applicator, also commonly known as the Tax Stamp Labeler.

A Finishing Touch That Makes a Difference

This solution is commonly used after a tax stamp applicator or strip labeler, helping to apply labels securely as containers move through production. Designed to accept containers and feed them through a brush system, this applicator provides a consistent, professional wipe-down of each label, minimizing bubbling, wrinkles, and partial adhesion.

The result? Products that meet industry standards while maintaining strong shelf appeal.

Why It Matters

Think about the last time you picked up a product on a store shelf. If you noticed a label that was peeling, wrinkled, or uneven, did you hesitate? Many consumers do. A messy label can subconsciously signal poor quality or tampering. A clean, properly placed label reflects product integrity and influences purchasing decisions.

With our Strip Label Applicator, you can:

✅ Reduce Labor Demands – Automate the final label application process, minimizing manual intervention.

✅ Streamline Production – Seamlessly integrate a high-speed labeling solution into your packaging line.

✅ Improve Shelf Appeal – Present a polished and professional look, reducing human error in label application.
