Supplement Bottle Neck Band Applicators
Supplement and vitamin bottles often need clear tamper evidence. Short shrink bands around the cap can provide a visible seal while keeping the main label unchanged.

Tamper evidence
Band placement must be repeatable.
The band should sit neatly over the cap and neck, with perforation positioned so the customer can remove it without tearing the main label.
- Cap and neck dimensions
- Perforation position
- Band height and shrink area
Small bottles
Check bottle stability at target speed.
Small cylindrical bottles can tip or rotate if spacing and guide contact are not controlled.
- Filled weight
- Conveyor friction
- Side guides and infeed timing
- Choosing only by machine speed before testing the real container and sleeve
- Ignoring pack stability, side guides and conveyor transfer points
- Using the wrong tunnel route for the sleeve material or bottle shape
- Leaving cut length, lay-flat or perforation tolerance until after ordering
- Forgetting coding, inspection, accumulation and downstream packing space
Avoid poor fit
Common issues to check before ordering.
Small pack or sleeve differences can change the correct applicator, mandrel, conveyor and tunnel arrangement. These checks help prevent a machine being chosen on headline speed alone.
