A small cosmetics workshop in Moscow was hand-labeling 10 ml essential oil bottles—both round rollers and square sample vials. Each operator could only apply about 300 labels per day, and curved or flat surfaces often led to misaligned or bubbled stickers. As order volumes grew, deadlines were missed and rework costs climbed.

Challenge

Manual loading and smoothing took too long

Labels slipped on round bottles and creased on square ones

Rework rate reached 12 %, driving labor and material waste

Solution
The team added a semi-automatic rotary labeling machine with:

Manual loading into universal clamps: Place any bottle type in the fixture—round or square—and press start

Automatic rotation: The turntable spins each bottle precisely under the label head for uniform application

Quick format change: Adjustable guides swap between roller and vial modes in under two minutes

Results

Throughput: Jumped from 300 to 4,200 bottles per day

Quality: Defects dropped from 12 % to under 1 %

Savings: Labor and scrap costs fell by 70 %

Reliability: The workshop met all seasonal and promotional deadlines without overtime.

Conclusion
For small-batch skincare and essential oil producers, a semi-automatic rotary labeler combines simplicity and flexibility—handling both round and square bottles with reliable speed and accuracy.
