LABELLING MACHINES FOR KOMBUCHA, KEFIR AND FERMENTED BEVERAGES
Labelling is an essential stage in the packaging of fermented beverages. Kombucha, kefir and other fermented drinks require labels suited to their containers, brand identity and the information that needs to be displayed on the packaging.
Artisanal producers, specialist breweries and fermented beverage manufacturers need labelling solutions suited to their bottle formats, labels and production volumes.
OKJ Concept designs and manufactures customised self-adhesive labelling machines in France for beverage industry professionals. The MILA and MEDIUM ranges offer different labelling configurations to meet the technical requirements of each project.
Labelling kombucha, kefir and fermented beverages: what are the applications?
Labelling requirements vary depending on the beverage, the container and the desired presentation. OKJ Concept labelling machines can be assessed for different applications, subject to compatibility between the containers and the selected machine configuration.
Possible applications include:
-
Kombucha bottles: application of a front label and, where required, a back label for additional information.
-
Kefir bottles: labelling suited to the bottle format and the producer's presentation requirements.
-
Other fermented beverages: assessment of solutions for different types of drinks and compatible containers.
-
Multi-station labelling: combining several stations to apply different labels to the same container, depending on the selected configuration.
Feasibility depends in particular on the shape and stability of the bottle, label dimensions and label positioning. A technical assessment helps determine the appropriate configuration for each application.
How do you choose a labelling machine for fermented beverages?
Choosing a labelling machine depends on the characteristics of the containers, the labels and the production objectives. Several criteria need to be considered:
-
Bottle format: height, diameter, shape and stability as the bottle passes through the machine.
-
Container material: glass, plastic or another material compatible with the intended application.
-
Label characteristics: dimensions, shape, material and adhesive properties.
-
Label positioning: front label, back label or several labels on the same bottle, depending on the selected configuration.
-
Production speed: number of bottles to label per hour and the organisation of the production process.
-
Product range: bottle formats to be handled and the frequency of production changeovers.
-
Workshop layout: available space and integration of the machine into the packaging process.
These criteria help determine a configuration suited to the producer's needs and workshop constraints.
OKJ Concept's MILA and MEDIUM labelling machines
OKJ Concept offers the MILA and MEDIUM ranges of labelling machines to meet a variety of labelling requirements.
Depending on the project, machines can be configured with one or more labelling stations to carry out the required applications. Compatibility must be assessed based on the bottles, labels and required production speed.
Depending on the configuration and operating conditions, OKJ Concept labelling machines can reach a stated maximum output of 3,000 products per hour. Actual output depends in particular on the bottle format, the number of labels and the operations to be performed.
French manufacturing and technical support
OKJ Concept supports professionals in selecting and implementing their labelling equipment. Each project is assessed according to production requirements, technical constraints and the container formats used.
Support includes configuration planning, delivery, on-site installation and training, as well as after-sales service.
