Snus Labeling – Precise Wrap-Around Labeling for Small Round Cans

Labeling round snus and nicotine pouch tins

The labeling of snus and nicotine pouches requires the highest precision. While snus is popular in Sweden and Norway and contains real tobacco, nicotine pouches are a tobacco-free alternative that is particularly in demand in the USA. They are considered less harmful and are also freely available in the EU. 

Both products are sold in small doses – so high-performance labeling machines are needed for precise, fast and centered labeling on can lids. HERMA offers customized solutions for these special requirements.

What makes labeling round cans of snus and nicotine pouches a challenging task?

Machines in a production line for filling containers, with a focus on labeling and packaging.

For top and bottom labeling:

One major challenge is the in-line labeling of these cans, and the exact positioning of the round labels on the can lids in particular – especially when the edge trimming for the labels is not always completely perfect.

For wrap-around labeling:

Another challenge is to wrap the long, narrow label around the snus can in perfect alignment without sacrificing speed or cycle times.

 

Thanks to its innovative labeling solutions, HERMA manages to keep labeling tolerances at a very low level while at the same time ensuring the necessary labeling speed and precision – with maximum accuracy and reliability. Our high-performance labeling machines can label up to 200 products per minute.


Your advantages when labeling snus and nicotine pouches with HERMA labeling machines:

For the precise and clean application of top labels

  • Even if the edge trimming for the labels is not 100% correct, which occurs occasionally, it can be compensated along two axes through the can positioning – by adjusting the lateral conveyor belts and changing the start delay

 

For the lowest possible labeling tolerances

  • For example, you can choose to use the data collected on the label position to adjust subsequent products 

 

For greater certainty in the production process with any applicator – uncomplicated and reliable

  • Missing, poorly positioned or incorrect labels are recorded and bad products are conveyed into a separate box through a shaft or reject door with a blast of compressed air – a control sensor prevents them from leaving the system

 

Minimal set-up times and the highest possible output

  • The products can be turned 180° horizontally using a C-arm turning station and then labeled from both sides by a top-label applicator --> the arrangement of the individual applicators provides excellent accessibility and ensures it is easy to change label rolls

 

For a smooth process and safe integration into complete packaging lines

  • A sensor also monitors the product outlet for jams and stops the supply line if necessary to eliminate any faults

 

For longer running times and uncomplicated, user-friendly operation

  • Users also have the option of configuring settings on the HMI – however, only minimal operator input is required overall
