Used labelling machines — types and availability

Labelling machines are one of the most commonly available categories of used packaging equipment on the second-hand market, because labellers are changed frequently as brands update label formats, switch labelling technologies, or upgrade to higher-speed machines. Types of used labellers: used pressure-sensitive (self-adhesive) label applicators — the most common category; apply pre-printed self-adhesive labels from a reel; available for front, back, front-and-back, and wrap-around application; used OPP hot-glue (cold-glue) labellers — rotary labellers that apply cut OPP or paper labels with hot-melt or cold-glue adhesive; the standard for beverage (water, beer, juice) at high speed; OPP hot-glue labellers from Krones, KHS, and Sacmi are widely available used because beverage producers frequently upgrade; used sleeve labelling machines — apply full-body or partial PET-G shrink sleeves to bottles; available used from beverage lines switching from sleeve to wrap-around labels or from brand relaunches; used wet-glue (paper glue) labellers — rotary labellers applying pre-cut paper labels with wet starch or casein glue; standard for glass beer and wine bottles; used wrap-around labellers — apply a single label that wraps completely around the container. Key brands available used: Krones Contiroll and Starflex (OPP hot-glue); KAMA and SMI labellers; Sidel; Herma and Avery Dennison (pressure-sensitive); Langguth (cold-glue); Sleeve technology from PDC, Axon, Krones. Machines from Krones, KHS, and Sidel have the best parts availability and resale value.

Frequently asked questions

What speed used labeller do I need for a 5,000 BPH bottling line?

For a 5,000 BPH bottling line, a labeller rated at 6,000–8,000 BPH provides adequate capacity with a safety margin. Labellers are typically the machine with the least buffering capacity on a bottling line — if the labeller falls behind, the line backs up quickly. Used pressure-sensitive labellers at this speed range are widely available and are mechanically straightforward — straightforward maintenance and format changeover. Used OPP hot-glue rotary labellers at 5,000–8,000 BPH are also widely available from beverage producers who have upgraded to higher speeds.

Can a used OPP hot-glue labeller run self-adhesive labels instead?

No. An OPP hot-glue rotary labeller is specifically designed for roll-fed OPP film labels applied with hot-melt glue — the label transport mechanism, glue station, and label cutting system are all specific to the OPP hot-glue process. A self-adhesive (pressure-sensitive) labeller is an entirely different machine type — it uses a label reel with pre-applied adhesive and a peel plate to dispense and apply labels. The two machine types are not interchangeable without a major rebuild. For a new label format, specify the required labelling technology (pressure-sensitive, OPP, sleeve, or cold-glue) and source a machine designed for that technology.

How long do used labelling machines last in production?

Well-maintained labelling machines from major manufacturers (Krones, KHS, Sidel, Sacmi) can last 20–30 years in production with appropriate maintenance, parts replacement, and control system updates. The mechanical components (cam mechanisms, bottle handling guides, rotary tables) are robust and long-lived; electronic components (PLC, servo drives) have a shorter service life and may need upgrading after 10–15 years. A used labeller from a reputable manufacturer that has been well-maintained and is 10–15 years old can provide many years of reliable service with appropriate ongoing maintenance. Request the machine's maintenance history and a list of recent repairs before purchase.
