The YCT-20 Semi-Automatic Round Bottle Labeling Machine is a versatile, desktop-style label applicator engineered for small-to-medium production runs of round and cylindrical containers. Whether you are labeling cosmetic jars, wine bottles, xylitol containers, or pharmaceutical vials, the YCT-20 places self-adhesive labels with consistent ±0.5 mm accuracy — eliminating the uneven appearance and rework costs associated with hand labeling.
Built by Dongguan Yucheng Machinery Technology Co., Ltd. (YCTAUTO), this machine combines a robust mechanical platform with a user-friendly operator interface. A single worker can load bottles, trigger the labeling cycle, and achieve throughput of 20–35 pieces per minute depending on container and label dimensions. The result is a measurable upgrade in output speed and label quality for workshops that have outgrown manual labeling but do not yet require a fully automatic line.
The YCT-20 also supports an optional ribbon coding machine (carbon belt date coder) that prints manufacture date (MFG), expiry date (EXP), and lot/batch numbers onto each label in the same pass. This eliminates a separate coding step, reduces handling, and helps you meet regulatory labeling requirements for food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic products.
±0.5 mm Labeling Accuracy — Precision label placement on every bottle, reducing waste and ensuring a professional product appearance (excluding errors caused by container or label irregularities).
20–35 pcs/min Throughput — Semi-automatic operation delivers consistent speed suitable for small and medium batch production, controlled by operator loading pace and proficiency.
Wide Container Compatibility — Accommodates round bottles from Φ10 mm to Φ150 mm in diameter and up to 250 mm in height (custom heights available on request).
Flexible Label Sizes — Handles labels from 20 mm × 20 mm up to 380 mm × 220 mm, supporting wrap-around labeling, single-side labeling, and front-and-back dual labeling with adjustable label spacing.
Optional Position Detection — Circumferential positioning sensor enables labels to be applied at a specified location on the bottle surface, critical for products with embossed logos or orientation requirements.
Optional Ribbon Coding Machine — Integrated hot-stamp carbon belt coder prints MFG date, EXP date, and batch/LOT numbers directly on the label during application, combining two packaging steps into one.
Compact Desktop Footprint — Machine dimensions of only 920 mm × 470 mm × 500 mm and a weight of approximately 45 kg make it easy to place on a standard workbench and relocate between workstations.
Low Power Consumption — Runs on a standard 220 V / 50 Hz single-phase supply at just 120 W, keeping operating costs minimal.

Q: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for the YCT-20?
A: The standard MOQ is 1 unit. We welcome both sample orders and bulk purchases. Volume pricing is available — contact our sales team for a detailed quotation.
Q: Can this machine handle transparent (clear) labels?
A: The standard YCT-20 is optimized for opaque self-adhesive labels (paper, foil, PE, PP). For transparent label detection, please let us know your requirements so we can recommend the appropriate sensor upgrade.
Q: How does the optional ribbon coding machine work?
A: The ribbon coder mounts onto the labeling path. As each label feeds through, it hot-stamps characters (MFG date, EXP date, LOT number) onto the label before application. Character sets are changeable, and printing temperature is adjustable to suit different ribbon and label materials.
Q: What is the typical lead time for delivery?
A: Standard machines ship within 5–10 business days. Custom orders may require 15–20 business days depending on specifications. We confirm exact lead time after order placement.
Q: Does Yucheng provide installation and training support?
A: Yes. Every machine ships with a detailed operation manual and setup video. Our engineers also offer remote video guidance during installation and on-site support for large projects upon request.
Q: Can the YCT-20 apply two labels (front and back) on one bottle?
A: Yes. The YCT-20 supports front-and-back dual labeling. The distance between the two labels is adjustable through the machine's control settings to match your specific bottle and label dimensions.
Q: I need a labeling solution integrated with filling and capping — can you help?
A: Absolutely. Yucheng manufactures filling and capping equipment alongside labelers. We design turnkey packaging lines matched to your throughput and container type. Contact us to discuss your project.
Send us your bottle dimensions, label specifications, and target output, and our engineering team will provide a tailored recommendation with a competitive quotation.
