Why Your Labels Keep Peeling Off (and How the Right Labeling Machine Can Help Fix It)

Are you having problems keeping your labels on your products? Maybe they’re not sticking on, or they’re flagging, or they’re tearing. 

Whatever the case, you need solutions. A labeling machine can help you reach a future of perfectly and consistently applied labels. 

Before we get into why a labeler is so beneficial, let’s explore the issue a little more.

Why Your Labels Aren’t Sticking On

There are several possible causes behind why your label may not be sticking onto your container. 

One is the temperature of your container. Is it being filled with an especially hot or cold product? That can cause the adhesive to fail. The same can happen if you’re labeling your product in a working environment with possible contaminants present, or the container’s surface just isn’t compatible with the label.

In this case, a labeling machine isn’t actually going to be much help. You’re going to want to talk with your label vendor and discuss getting a new type of adhesive that’s more likely to stay on your container.

The Shortcomings of Applying Labels By Hand

Applying your labels by hand may seem like an appealing alternative to letting a machine do the work. After all, it saves you money and gives you a satisfying, tactile feeling. Each of your products feels more handmade.

However, this opens up your labels to the risk of falling off, whether partially or completely. Why? Because when you touch them, you may touch the adhesive, whether intentionally or otherwise. Moisture, oil, or other substances on your hands can interfere with the adhesive or even form a barrier between the label and the container. 

The best way to resolve this issue is—you guessed it—investing in a labeling machine. An automatic or semi-automatic labeler will allow you to apply labels onto your containers completely hands-free.

Things to Keep In Mind With a Labeling Machine

If you do wind up using a labeler for your production needs, then just keep in mind that all of your problems aren’t going to magically go away. Labels can and will still fail to adhere to your container if the labeler isn’t set up right, or it isn’t even the right version of labeler.

If you’re experiencing this issue with your labeler, watch closely as it works to see if you can identify the cause of the problem. For instance, the label may be coming out too fast, …
