ALTECH: smart labels for the cosmetics sector

In the cosmetics industry, where a wide variety of formats, fast time-to-market and high aesthetic standards for packaging are key strategic factors, labelling systems are required to meet increasingly demanding criteria in terms of flexibility, precision and productivity. Recent technological advances in automation have made possible what until a few years ago was complex or impractical: integrating multiple functions into a single machine, significantly reducing changeover times and increasing overall line efficiency.

A concrete example of this approach is represented by the combined 3-roller and direct wraparound labelling solutions developed by ALTECH, a company specialising in the design and manufacture of labelling and automation systems for industrial applications.
Thanks to the fully electronic control of all machine elements, it is now possible to switch from one labelling mode to another simply by selecting a different production “recipe”. This quick and intuitive operation eliminates the need for lengthy mechanical adjustments typical of traditional systems, while ensuring high levels of reliability and process repeatability.

This operational flexibility allows cosmetics manufacturers to adapt the labelling process to the specific characteristics of each product: bottles, flacons and containers with different geometries can be handled on the same machine, selecting the most suitable solution in terms of speed and application accuracy. The result is higher productivity, combined with excellent label application quality, an essential factor in cosmetic packaging, where visual impact plays a crucial role in the final consumer’s purchasing decisions.
