6.6 LABELS ARE SKEWED ON CONTAINER
1. Check the skew to see if it is all the same direction and about the same amount. If so, then check
to see if the Peel Plate is square to the container. Use the turnbuckle to adjust the angle of
attack of the label.
6.7 LEADING EDGE OF LABEL IS BUCKLING AND/OR TURNED UNDER
1. Are the labels “floppy”, as in film or vinyl label material? This will contribute to this tendency.
Check to see if they can be ordered with thicker material.
2. Has the die cut of the label shape creased or scored the web backing. This will “push” the edge
of the label into the backing and causes it to hesitate when being separated from the web.
3. Is the label “flagged” too much? If so the incoming product may be folding the edge over.
4. If the label feed begins too early, the leading edge may not be completely attached and it will
fold over when it hits the back wiping pad.
6.8 WRINKLES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LABEL
The transition of the bottle out of the conveyor Guide Rails and into the Wrap Station must be as
smooth and as uninterrupted as possible. If the bottle bumps against the edge of the Wiping Pad, a
wrinkle will frequently result 1 to 2 inches in from the leading edge. Make sure the bottle moves
smoothly through the area where it is detected, where the label feed begins, and when it starts the spin
in the wrap station.
