We don’t sell one-size-fits-all machines. We provide specialized systems built for your specific label type and production goals.
Reliable Rotary OPP Hot Melt Glue Labeling Machine
This labeling option is perfect for beverage, food, and chemical applications that demand heavy-duty, high-speed labeling on OPP/BOPP roll stock. It has been developed especially for round bottles and it can handle even the most challenging, high output production environments.
With modular hot melt glue application and centralized glue cure system the adhesive waste is reduced a lot. A gear-driven label transport guarantees accurate label placement and smooth operation on even the highest speeds.
Built for high productivity, the system runs at speeds of up to 24,000 bottles per hour making it an ideal solution for manufacturers seeking to high volume round bottle labeling. It allows OPP roll paper labels , 50-106mm bottle diameter, 6kW power consumption and uses Siemens or Schneider PLC system as the controller.
Reliable PVC Shrink Sleeve Labeling Machine
This shrink sleeve labelling system is suited for applications in beverages, dairy, wine and fixtures including 360° glossy, tamper-evidence label on a variety of bottle shapes. The system guarantees even shrink using steam or electric heat tunnel while the adjustable nozzles ensure perfect fit around both bottle neck and body.
Its main benefit is its ability to produce a “second-skin” label that wraps perfectly around round, square, flat or conical containers. The system is suitable for PVC, PET and polyolefin shrink sleeves and provides versatile production capacity ranging from 9,000 BPH in semi-automatic mode to 36,000 BPH in full automatic solution with a robust SUS304 stainless steel frame for long-run hygienic operation.
Reliable Three-Side Self-Adhesive Sticker Labeling Machine
This self-adhesive labeling machine is suitable for cosmetics, pharmaceutical, chemical and food applications where accuracy is needed on flat, square or round containers. It can be configured for one-side, two-side or three-side labeling in one run production, which is very suitable for various packaging forms.
Servo-driven control and sponge roller technology guarantees a very smooth and wrinkle free label application with a superior precision even on irregular shaped bottles. Handling self-adhesive paper or film labels, the solution achieves speeds of 1 to 130 bottles per minute (max. around 8,000 BPH), attains a ±1 mm label accuracy, and is controlled with an easy to use touch-screen PLC system.

Application Spotlight: Industry-Specific Labeling Solutions
In the beverage industry such as water, CSD and juice, high speed OPP labeling machine for 1-2L round bottle is popular. OPP label on multi-packs and promotional packaging can also be printed with good results.
Hot melt glue labellers are most widely used in oils, the sleeve labeller for sauces and jars provide a flexible way to cope with different shapes.
Self-adhesive labelers deliver precise front and back labeling on flat or rectanglular bottles in cosmetic, pharmaceutical, chemical and home care markets, and OPP and shrink sleeve options offer robust and compliant labeling in challenging environments.

we’re here to all your questions
How do I choose between Hot Melt Glue and Self-Adhesive labeling?
It depends on label type and speed. Hot Melt (OPP roll labels) is best for very high-speed, cost-effective labeling of round bottles. Self-adhesive machines suit medium speeds, variable bottle shapes, and fast changeovers, common in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.
What’s the difference between semi-automatic and full-automatic sleeve labelers?
Semi-automatic machines (up to about 9,000 BPH) require manual sleeve placement. Full-automatic systems apply and shrink sleeves automatically and are ideal for integrated lines above 10,000 BPH.
Can MG machines handle frequent label or bottle changes?
Yes. MG self-adhesive and sleeve labelers support quick changeovers using adjustable parts and PLC recipes, allowing switches in minutes.
Do you supply standalone machines or full line integration?
Both. MG can provide a single labeling machine or fully integrate the labeling section with conveyors, unscramblers, and inspection systems.
How is after-sales support and spare parts handled?
MG offers lifetime technical support, a 2-year parts warranty, full installation and training, and fast global spare parts delivery.
