In high-volume production, every second counts. High speed labelling machines are the solution for businesses that need to maximise throughput without sacrificing accuracy. Engineered for continuous, demanding operation on the fastest production lines, these systems are a critical component in the food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and logistics industries. Sessions UK supplies a range of robust and reliable high-speed labelling machines designed to keep pace with your operational demands, ensuring that your labelling process is never a bottleneck.

Achieving high speeds is about more than just turning up the motor. A true high-performance machine is engineered from the ground up, with several key technologies that differentiate it from standard labellers.
At the core of every high-speed labelling machine is a servo-driven motor. Unlike standard stepper motors, servo motors operate with a closed-loop feedback system, allowing for exceptional control over speed, acceleration, and torque. This enables the label applicator head to dispense labels with extreme precision and consistency, even when the production line is running at several hundred products per minute. The result is flawless application with no loss of accuracy at top speed.
Controlling the product at the point of label application is just as important as dispensing the label itself. High speed systems use advanced product handling modules to ensure every container is perfectly positioned and stable. This can include timing screws (or feed worms) to create precise gaps between products, dual-belt aligners to centre oval or rectangular containers, and top-hold stabilising belts to secure taller items. This positive handling eliminates any chance of products slipping or skewing.
Operating at high speeds generates significant vibration and stress. Our machines are built on heavy-duty, welded stainless-steel frames to ensure stability and long-term durability. To minimise downtime, they are designed with features like large-capacity label rolls (up to 500mm in diameter) and powered unwind units, which drastically reduce the frequency of roll changes and keep the line moving.
Our high-performance systems are trusted by leading manufacturers in a variety of sectors.
This is a classic high-speed application. Our machines are used to apply labels to thousands of bottles and cans every hour in wet, demanding bottling halls. See more about our specialised bottle labelling machines.
For fast-moving consumer goods, throughput is everything. Our systems are used on high-volume food packaging lines for products like yoghurts, ready meals, jars, and canned goods. Explore our dedicated labelling machines for food.
High-volume pharmaceutical lines for common medicines or vaccines require machines that deliver both speed and GMP-compliant precision. Our pharma-grade labellers can be configured for high-speed operation while maintaining validation and accuracy standards.
In large distribution centres, our high-speed systems are used for applying shipping labels, barcodes, and tracking labels to parcels and packages on fast-moving conveyor lines.
We can configure our high-performance machines for a wide range of application types.
These systems are designed to apply a single label to cylindrical containers at very high speeds. Our wrap around labelling machines for high-speed lines use sophisticated belt or roller systems to smoothly rotate the container as the label is applied, ensuring a perfect, seamless finish on hundreds of products per minute.
Applying two labels with perfect alignment is even more challenging at speed. Our front and back labelling machines use advanced product handling and two synchronised, servo-driven applicator heads to apply both labels simultaneously with exceptional accuracy.
Combining printing and applying at speed requires specialist technology. Our high-speed print and apply labelling machines use high-performance print engines and applicator modules (often non-contact “blow” applicators) to apply variable data labels to outer cases and packs on the fastest conveyor lines.
A high-speed labelling machine is a high-performance version of a fully automatic labelling machine. It cannot operate in isolation; it must be seamlessly integrated into a wider automated production line to achieve its full potential. The flow of products to and from the labeller must be consistent and controlled. These machines are often the centrepiece of large-scale industrial labelling systems, built for maximum efficiency and output.
Investing in a high-speed system is a significant decision. Consider these factors:
