Two-sided labelling is often used to mark food packaging, cosmetics and household products, glass and plastic bottles or cartons, etc. with variable data such as MHD, batch no. or ingredients. It doesn't matter whether flat folding boxes, square cartons or oval formats, as are often used for bottles: For sales at the point of sale, the visual impact and therefore the perfect, wrinkle-free fit of the labels is of great importance. Our HERMA labelling solutions have the necessary flexibility and are used all over the world across industries. Do you require high throughput and at the same time have little space available in your production? This is where our two-sided labelling machines come in! They are extremely robust, versatile and offer industry-specific equipment options that leave nothing to be desired.
In a nutshell: What should be considered for two-sided labelling?
- Short makeready times: Even with frequently changing formats, short makeready times must be ensured for an efficient production process
- High-performance systems: For many high-volume consumer products or small-format products, high throughput and high speed must be possible.
- Precise feeding: In automatic systems, the product is guided either by driven side belts or by special guide rails. These must be flexible and precisely adjustable and adaptable to different sizes and product types.
- Practical integration options: It must also be possible to easily add pressure, control and ejection devices to the corresponding systems.
This is what matters in side labelling

With the frequently used two-sided labelling, exact centering at the moment of the labelling process is useful. For smaller production quantities, this is most easily done using a semi-automatic solution: the product is simply placed in a pickup device and then manually pushed between two applicators on a carriage. At the moment of dispensing, the product is automatically fixed in place. The result is precisely placed labels. There are practically no limits to the size of the products - only the pickup device has to be adapted. The holding device for the products can be exchanged in just a few steps, ensuring short makeready times even with changing pack shapes.
For medium and large production volumes, it is advisable to use an automatic system that can also meet the highest precision requirements if necessary. Here, a special form of centering ensures the exact positioning of the labels in the insert. With the HERMA labelling machine, the product is also fixed and centered during the labelling process. For this purpose, the machine's special centering device moves synchronously with the conveyor belt. In contrast, the precise alignment of the product and the labelling process are usually carried out in two separate operations. Even with a minimal change in position between the centering and labelling processes, the product can therefore change its position, unlike with the HERMA solution - with visible consequences for the precise "fit" of the labels.
Whether primary or secondary packaging: HERMA has an economical, high-performance system for every application.
This makes HERMA labelling machines the preferred solution for side labelling

Flexibility, high cost-effectiveness with an excellent price-performance ratio
HERMA offers compact and stable labelling machines that operate with virtually no format parts and yet cover a very wide range of product formats. This means that different product formats can be set quickly and easily for flexible, fast and simple changeover for accurate side labelling. High cost-effectiveness combined with low investment costs make HERMA labelling machines a favourite for a wide range of tasks thanks to their excellent price/performance ratio - thanks to their modular design, they can also be delivered particularly quickly. On request, our labelling solutions can be easily converted to wrap-around labelling for even more application possibilities - a machine for full flexibility in your production.

Absolute Performance and Precision with High Throughput in Continuous Use
Two HERMA 500 high-performance applicators with movable peel plate ensure absolute performance and precision combined with high throughput - even in continuous operation! The product is guided by side belts, which can also be used as belt separators, or chain aligners, which correctly align the products before they are taken over by the upper belt for subsequent labelling in order to avoid any skewed placements and offers optimum product alignment and stabilisation.

Highest product quality thanks to industry-specific equipment options
Added to this are industry-specific equipment options that leave nothing to be desired. As an option, difficult product shapes can be precisely labelled in the centered state. Handwheels with digital position displays enable optimum settings to be reproduced at any time. For the highest product quality thanks to various print and label presence checks in conjunction with bad label return and product rejection, and to print variable data, a hot stamping or thermal transfer printer can be easily integrated.
HERMA labelling machines solutions for side labelling
Our 362 two-sided labeller is available in three configuration levels. The Economy series 362E combines the space requirements of the small Compact series 362C with the robustness and efficiency of the larger Master series 362M. All series are equipped with two HERMA 500 high-speed applicators, guaranteeing an impressive labelling output of up to 200 products per minute and a high throughput even in continuous operation. The optional different add-on modules are designed in such a way that installation can be carried out with minimal time and cost. All our series can be flexibly converted to wrap-around labelling with little time expenditure. With our two-side labellers, you don't have to choose between flexibility, performance or precision!
In the following overview you can see all series of the 362 with the most important criteria at 1 glance. If you have special safety requirements for your labelling application, our Tamper-Evident labeller 362E TE and Healthcare variants might be of interest.
