BOTLR ready, label steady

Bottle labeling sounds simple until you do it at scale, or with multiple products, or with frequent changeovers. Getting labels straight, consistent, and repeatable can become a daily time sink. Especially when you need both a front and a back label, or when you switch between bottle sizes.

That’s where BOTLR by Labelmate comes in. BOTLR is a compact bottle label applicator designed to make label placement more consistent while reducing setup time between runs. It is made for operators who want an efficient workflow without stepping up to a fully automated labeling line.

What is BOTLR?

BOTLR is a bench top applicator for bottles and other cylindrical containers. It is built to support repeatable label placement on round products, with an operator fed workflow that fits small and mid volume production, frequent changeovers, and mixed product ranges.

If your current process involves manual labeling, inconsistent placement, or constant readjustment when you change bottle formats, BOTLR is meant to simplify the day to day work.

Why many teams choose a bottle label applicator

Manual labeling can work, but it tends to create predictable issues:

• placement shifts between operators

• small misalignments add up over time

• changeovers slow down production

• rework increases when labels look inconsistent

A bottle label applicator helps standardise the process so your output looks the same from the first bottle to the last.

What makes BOTLR different

Faster changeovers between bottle sizes

If you label different bottles throughout the day, setup time can become the hidden cost. BOTLR is designed around faster changeovers so you can move between products more easily without a long reset process.

Front label and back label application

Many cylindrical products need two labels. For example a front label for branding, and a back label for ingredients, compliance, or instructions. BOTLR supports applying one label or two labels so you can handle both workflows with one system.

Consistent placement that looks professional

On shelves, consistency matters. Small placement differences can make packaging look uneven, even when the print quality is perfect. BOTLR is built to help make placement repeatable, which improves the overall look of the finished product.

Works across a wide range of use cases

Bottles show up everywhere. From beverages and sauces to cosmetics, supplements, and household liquids. BOTLR is relevant in any environment where cylindrical products are labelled regularly and presentation matters.

Where BOTLR fits best

BOTLR is a strong fit if you recognise one or more of these situations:

• you label bottles in batches, not one continuous high speed line

• you run multiple SKUs and bottle sizes

• you want front and back labeling without complex automation

• you need a compact solution that fits on a bench or packing table

• you want consistent placement without relying on operator technique

If you are running a fully automated conveyor line at very high throughput, you may be looking for integrated line applicators instead. BOTLR is typically positioned as a practical step up from manual labeling, without the footprint and investment of a full line solution.

How to evaluate if BOTLR is right for your process

To recommend the right setup, you usually want to start with the basics:

1. Bottle size range
   Share the diameter range of the bottles you label.

2. Label format
   Is it one label, or front and back labels?

3. Label material and finish
   For example paper, PP film, PE film, clear labels, or other synthetics.

4. Output expectations
   How many bottles per hour, per shift, or per day.

5. Your current workflow
   Are labels printed in house, or pre printed, and where does labeling sit in your packing process?

With these details, it becomes much easier to confirm fit and advise the right configuration.

Typical industries and applications

BOTLR is commonly relevant for:

• craft beverage producers and specialty drinks

• sauces, oils, condiments, and food packaging

• cosmetics and personal care products

• supplements and health products

• cleaning products and household liquids

• small batch manufacturing with frequent SKU changes

Summary

If your team labels cylindrical products and wants to reduce setup time while improving placement consistency, BOTLR by Labelmate is a practical option to consider. It supports a repeatable operator workflow, suits mixed product ranges, and helps you scale labeling without moving straight to a fully automated line.

FAQ

Can BOTLR apply front and back labels?
Yes, BOTLR is commonly used for single label application and for applying two labels on cylindrical products, such as a front and back label.

Is BOTLR suitable for frequent changeovers?
That is one of the main reasons teams consider BOTLR. It is intended for environments where bottle sizes and label formats change regularly.

Do I need a lot of operator training?
Most bench top applicators are designed to be operator friendly. The better your input details and workflow, the faster you can standardise results across operators.

What information do you need to recommend the right setup?
Bottle diameter range, label size, label material, whether you need one or two labels, and the number of bottles you need to label per hour or per day.

Is BOTLR a replacement for a fully automated labeling line?
Not usually. It is typically positioned between manual labeling and full line automation. It is a good option when you want consistency and efficiency without the footprint and complexity of a conveyor based system.
