Semi-Automatic Label Applicators for Bottles, Jars & Cylindrical Containers

BPM Systems offers LabelMate’s trusted line of semi-automatic label applicators—including the popular Bottle-Mate series—for accurate, consistent labeling of bottles, jars, tubes, and other cylindrical containers. Whether you’re labeling in small batches or scaling up, these machines provide a cost-effective bridge between manual and fully automated systems.

Standard Semi-Automatic Label Applicators

Reliable tabletop units for cylindrical containers, designed for small to mid-volume production lines. These models apply front or wraparound labels with footswitch activation and quick-changeover features.
Best for: Daily labeling of bottles, jars, or tubes in small-to-medium runs

BottleMate Series Applicators

LabelMate’s BottleMate lineup offers plug-and-play functionality with adjustable rollers and built-in sensors for precise placement. These are ideal for producers seeking a compact, affordable solution.
Best for: Entry-level labeling of wine bottles, vials, essential oils, and more

Semi-Automatic Electric Dispensers with Peel Function

While not true applicators, these electric label dispensers support semi-automatic workflows by presenting peeled labels for manual placement—speeding up small-scale operations.
Best for: Teams handling irregular containers or odd-shaped products

Semi-Automatic Label Machines with Integrated Rewinder

Some setups include built-in rewinders to reduce excess liner clutter and maintain order during application. These are suited for more robust workflows that benefit from clean, inline operations.
Best for: Streamlined tabletop workflows with mid-sized production needs

Integrating Your Semi-Automatic Sticker Labeling Machine

Semi-automatic sticker labeling machines are designed for seamless integration into existing production workflows. Whether you’re using desktop printers, manual applicators, or inline inspection tools, these machines can be positioned on workbenches, integrated with conveyors, or placed alongside dispensers for synchronized performance.

With adjustable mounts and tension controls, they support precise label placement without disrupting print registration or label quality. Many units can be paired with accessories like label counters, rewinders, or peelers to create a full labeling station tailored to your operation.

Compatible with: Thermal transfer printers, hand-applied workflows, electric dispensers, tabletop rewinders

Yes — many semi‑automatic machines offer adjustable guides, sensors, and settings to accommodate different container heights and diameters. It’s important to confirm the machine’s range for container size, label width, and label length before purchase.

A semi‑automatic machine typically requires an operator to place the container or trigger the label application (e.g., via a foot switch), whereas a fully automatic machine handles container feeding, orientation, application, and ejection with minimal human interaction. Semi‑automatic is a cost‑effective step between manual labeling and full automation, ideal for small to mid‑volume lines.

Change‑over in semi‑automatic machines often involves adjusting guides, swapping change parts or setting sensors for new container diameter or label size. Many models now offer tool‑less adjustments for faster change‑over and less downtime.
