Four common pitfalls to avoid on label machinery projects

Remember these bits of advice on container dimensions and production requirements when embarking on a labeling machinery project.

 

1. Unanticipated additional container sizes/shapes. A machine designed to label an oval container will have tooling that’s not suited to labeling a round once it’s on your plant floor. Take the time to think through all the possible containers you’ll be running on your labeler and communicate that to your equipment vendor up front.

 

2. Not prioritizing production volumes before the machine is designed. If there’s an oddball size or shape that’s throwing a wrench into the machine design process, knowing that size were going to run, say, less than 1% of the time can put things in proper perspective. Conversely, tell the vendor which container sizes and shapes are expected to account for the bulk of the production volume. That enables them to optimize the equipment, to the extent possible, for those sizes and shapes.
