When choosing an automatic labelling machine for a winery, five key criteria matter: the number of labels applied to each bottle (front label, back label, neck label), the variety of bottle formats, bottling speed, the required application quality, and integration into the existing production line. The best choice is not necessarily the fastest or most sophisticated machine, but the one that matches the winery’s actual production needs and remains easy to adjust from one cuvé

Wine bottle waxing consists of applying a thin layer of wax to the top of the cork, either instead of or in addition to the traditional capsule. This process helps limit oxygen ingress, protect the cork and give the bottle a distinctive finish. Automating this step with a dedicated waxing machine ensures greater consistency, speed and reliability compared with manual waxing. More and more wineries and bottling companies are considering this solution, whether for preservation,

Kombucha is experiencing rapid growth in France, and producers, often starting out as small-scale businesses, quickly need to structure their production lines to keep up with demand. Labelling is one of the first stages to reconsider: it needs to remain clean and resistant despite humidity, cold storage and the wide variety of recipes, while also adapting to rapidly increasing production volumes. A good labelling machine must therefore combine precision, flexibility and the c

The choice between manual and automatic labeling mainly depends on production volume, the consistency of your production pace, and the level of precision required. For small, irregular batches, manual labeling is often sufficient. As soon as volumes increase or a stable pace is needed, automatic labeling becomes necessary to ensure quality and productivity. This choice has a direct impact on costs, labor requirements, and the image of the finished product. The limits of manua

The choice of an automatic labelling machine for a brewery primarily depends on production speed, the type of labels to be applied (front label, back label, neck label), and the shape of the bottles. In brewing environments, the constraints are simple but demanding: ensuring a clean, consistent, and stable application, regardless of format or production variations. A good labelling machine must integrate easily into the existing production line and keep pace with production f
