Why Choose an Automatic BOPP Labeling Machine?
A BOPP Labeling Machine is a piece of equipment that applies Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene (BOPP) film labels to bottles. The application is generally done with hot melt adhesive, offering a cost-effective solution, especially when handling high volumes. The BOPP labels are preferred for water bottles due to their clarity, durability, and moisture resistance.
DTPPL’s Automatic BOPP Labeling Machine uses hot melt glue to apply BOPP labels onto bottles, providing reliable adhesion, a “no-label” look, and exceptional aesthetic appeal for your products. The machine is also optimized to handle various environmental factors like temperature fluctuations that can affect glue viscosity, ensuring that the labeling process remains smooth and efficient.
