What is the smallest bottle diameter the ZLA+ can label?

The ZLA+ can label round bottles as small as 1 inch in diameter (like test tubes or vape cartridges) and as large as 5 inches (like gallon jugs).

Does the ZLA+ work with clear labels?

The standard ZLA+ uses an optical sensor for opaque labels. For clear-on-clear labels, we offer an ultrasonic sensor upgrade that plugs directly into the machine.

Can I apply a front and back label on the same bottle?

Yes. If your label roll is printed with alternating front and back labels, you can use the machine's 'Gap Guide' to apply both labels to a single bottle with perfect spacing.

How fast is the ZLA+ compared to hand labeling?

An experienced operator can label 10-15 bottles per minute (600-900 per hour) with the ZLA+, which is typically 4x to 5x faster than labeling by hand.

What happens if the motor breaks?

The ZLA+ is built with modular parts. If a motor or sensor fails, we can ship you a replacement part that can be swapped out in minutes using a simple screwdriver. No technician required.

Common Questions

Desktop label applicators are designed for efficiency and precision. Unlike manual hand-labeling, machines like the ZLA+ ensure perfectly straight placement every time. They are compact, portable, and require no special training to operate.

Manual applicators rely on hand-cranking. Semi-automatic labelers (like the ZLA+) use a motor and foot pedal for speed and accuracy. Fully automatic systems require conveyors and are significantly more expensive.

Our desktop applicators apply pressure-sensitive labels including product, barcode, and address labels. The ZLA+ handles opaque labels (paper, foil, poly) on round containers. (For clear labels, see the ZLA model).
