What Our Customers Say
Common Questions
Bubbling usually occurs when a label is applied by hand with uneven pressure, or when the bottle surface is slightly inconsistent. To fix this, you need a machine that applies constant, even roller pressure as the bottle rotates. The Zap Labeler ZLA+ uses a spring-loaded arm and high-grip rollers to smooth the label onto the glass instantly, eliminating the air pockets that cause bubbles.
Tapered bottles are difficult because the geometry causes a square label to "climb" or "frown" as it wraps. While many cheap labelers cannot handle this, Zap Labelers feature fully adjustable roller axes. This allows you to tilt the bottle slightly to match the taper, ensuring the label applies straight every time. This is critical for 5oz hot sauce bottles and certain wine bottles.
Most standard labeling machines use basic optical sensors that "look" for the gap between labels. They often fail to see clear labels because the backing paper is also semi-transparent. We solved this in two ways: The Zap Labeler ZLA uses a mechanical "Visual Indexing Marker" (a physical guide you set) making it perfect for the 'no label' look.
It depends on how you value your time. Hand-labeling 500 bottles takes the average person about 3 to 4 hours of focused, repetitive work. A Zap Labeler can finish that same batch in roughly 35 minutes. If your time is worth more than $20/hour, the machine pays for itself by freeing you up to focus on sales and production, rather than packaging.
No. This is the biggest difference between Zap Labeler and the "Goliaths" or cheap imports. We are Made in the USA (Illinois). If you need a part, we ship it domestically via UPS immediately. If you need help, you call our 1-800 number and speak to a technician (often the people who built the machine), not a generic call center.
