Meira, a Finland-based food establishment, is packing its new ketchup, mustard and salad dressing bottles with Herma’s 362M labeling system.
Herma's 362M labeling system has a special centering device which can exactly position the labels on the bottles.
The centering device plays a key role in the labeling of 930ml large ketchup and 500ml mustard bottles, while a pre-centering unit is sufficient for the smaller bottles of salad dressing.
According to the company, the new tapered shaped labels will have to be applied exactly in the envisaged recess on the tapered bottles, which feature an oval cross-section.
Meira factory director Juha Suikkanen said: "Ours is a demanding situation, but the Herma system offers compelling accuracy. Our products' new look has precisely the desired impact, and the labeling is performed very consistently and efficiently. Despite the complexity of the labelling solution, we are achieving an output of 60 bottles a minute.
"We also much appreciated Herma's input before the system was installed; its technical advice related not only to the machine, but also to the development of appropriate labels."
