The solution features a cold glue labelling module (CG 6/5/130) for applying labels on the cylindrical part of the glass bottle and a sleeve on the conical part.
It will also accommodate a second cold glue module (6/5/180) for applying pre-cut labels and a module for pressure sensitive self-adhesive labelling.
Acque Minerali d'Italie selected Opera due to its modular nature, according to Sacmi.
From the design stage, the machine is compatible with several labelling technologies and systems, allowing them to be managed via a single machine at ultra-high speeds.
