Possibly one of the largest cross web labellers in the world

How do you label multiple yoghurt trays at once, at high speed and with consistent precision?

For a dairy producer working with an oversized thermoforming format, HM Systems delivered one of its largest cross web labelling systems to date. The solution enables simultaneous labelling of up to 10 trays in a single pass, reaching speeds above 200 labels per minute.

Built on proven cross web technology and equipped with flexible applicator plates, the system ensures reliable performance even with variations in product surfaces.



Possibly one of the largest cross web labellers in the world

HM Systems is a leading supplier of cross web labelling systems, with extensive experience in developing customised solutions for demanding industrial applications.

A recent project pushed the boundaries of what is possible within cross web labelling.

The challenge: oversized format and high output

The solution was developed for a dairy producer working with a large thermoforming format, where multiple yoghurt trays are handled simultaneously.

The requirements were clear:

  • Labelling multiple trays in one operation
  • Maintaining high precision across a wide format
  • Supporting output speeds above 200 labels per minute
  • Ensuring reliable performance despite product variation

The solution: a large-format cross web labeller

HM Systems delivered one of its largest cross web labellers to date a “mega” setup designed specifically for this application.

The system is capable of labelling up to 10 yoghurt trays simultaneously in a single pass, significantly increasing throughput compared to traditional labelling methods.

“This is a good example of how far we can push cross web technology. When formats get larger and requirements more complex, it’s not about reinventing the solution, it’s about adapting and scaling what we already know works.”

– Henrik Thomsen, HM Systems

Designed for real-world production

To handle the realities of product and surface variation, the machine is equipped with flexible applicator plates.

This ensures consistent and reliable label placement across all trays even when surfaces are not uniform.

The solution is built on HM Systems’ standard cross web platform, known for:

  • High quality and durability
  • Stable operation at high speeds
  • Flexibility across different applications
  • The ability to be customised for specific customer needs
