FAT Checks for a Round Bottle Labeling Machine
Buyers should define measurable pass or fail checks for a round bottle labeling machine before factory acceptance, using the stated container and label ranges as reference values to confirm with the supplier.
Before signing off a factory acceptance test for a round bottle labeling machine, decide which checks are pass or fail and how each will be measured. A practical starting point is to run the smallest and largest containers in the stated reference ranges: 20–100 mm diameter, 40–200 mm height, and labels from 20–300 mm long. Ask the supplier to confirm which of these values the offered model actually supports.
For each run, agree on sample size, bottle and label material, and speed. Define label placement tolerance, wrinkle and bubble criteria, and whether rejects are counted per bottle or per batch. Ask how the machine detects missing or misaligned labels, and whether that detection is part of the acceptance test. Include a repeatability check: run the same batch twice and compare results.
Before requesting a quote, confirm with the supplier which container and label sizes were demonstrated, the agreed pass or fail limits, the test materials, and how results will be recorded and witnessed.
