Technology AP360 Label Applicator for Cylindrical Containers - 74291

This purchase was by far the best purchase of the year! The packaging and delivery were flawless. Basically arrives assembled and you plug it in and literally start to use. I didn’t need the reminder because my labels were set to work correctly (luck). I find the larger bottles (16oz and 32oz bullets) work best on slower rotation (hold foot pedal down while you turn on the machine. And the smaller (1oz, 2oz, 4oz and 8oz) work best on default settings (turn off and on again to reset). Sometimes I use my thumbs to hold the bottle in place as it occasionally is pushed forward on rotation when the label starts to go onto the bottle. The arm which holds the bottles in place (pushed down) sometimes need to be adjusted as it can move after multiple bottles are completed. Compared to doing everything by hand, this machine cranks out the production with a pretty high ratio of success. Only .5% of the case needed to be corrected compared to 10% of human error by hand. Love it.

When it works, it's great. I might get a few perfect labels in a row, followed by a few with bubbles or wrinkles. Luckily, I have quality labels that I can partially peel off and reapply, but it's time-consuming. I'm not sure why it happens, but it does.

This labler is awesome! It came well packaged. It was easy to assemble and quick to learn! It labels without air bubbles and is easy to use! I love it and can't recommend it enough! The way it is set up, you can label regardless of how your labels are wound. And, you can label various sized bottles. Thank you Primera for making a quality labeler that actually works.

I bought this machine about a year ago to label batches of 200 32 oz. Boston Round bottles. The labeler requires a bit of a learning curve to properly thread and align the labels, but once that is done, this machine is easy to use. So far, we have seen no reliability issues. For a small company or a company that labels in batches of 2000 or less, or for bottles that no large vendor is willing to label, this machine is a game-changer.

Got the Primera AP360 for slapping labels on bottles and stuff. It's pretty good! Saves time and the labels come out looking neat and professional. But, it's not perfect. Runs into some trouble with bigger labels – they don't always line up right, and I have to fix them by hand sometimes. If you're mostly doing smaller labels, it's great. Just a heads-up if you're planning on using larger labels. Overall, I'm happy with it. Does the job well, just wish it was better with big labels. Solid 4 out of 5.
