Troubleshooting Common Problems with Auto Labeling Machines

Have you ever noticed a product with the wrong label? This can occur with machines that label items. These machines are supposed to stamp the appropriate label on every item, but they don’t always get it right. When this happens, the need will arise for repairing the trouble.

When you notice that the label that is being used on your products is incorrect, then you need to immediately stop your machine. Check the label roll to see if it has the appropriate labels. Sometimes new wrong labels get into the correct batch and create a situation where the machine labels the item incorrectly. Pray to the machine and load the right labels into the machine (you know, the ones that you think you need) before switching it back on and praying that it has been fixed.

Ensure that the label roll is aligned and correct it if required.

Re-energize the machine and run a couple of products through it to check whether it's aligned properly.
