Packaging & Labelling

The end of the line - filling, capping, cartoning, case packing, bagging, labelling and wrapping. Usually the first place a stoppage upstream becomes visible.

8 types, and what a survey records

Equipment type	Recorded for each one
Filling / Bottling Line	Line speed · Container types · CIP integrated · Typical changeover time
Packaging Line	Packs per minute · Formats run · Changeover time · Typical OEE · Line control · Bottleneck machine
Blister Pack / Cartoner	Blisters or cartons per minute · Formats / tooling sets · Seal · Serialisation / coding · Changeover time · In-line inspection
Labeller	Type · Labels per minute · Label size range · Label verification · Changeover time
Filling Head / Capper	Fill type · Heads · Containers per minute · Fill accuracy · Cap torque monitoring · CIP
Case Packer / Erector	Cases per minute · Case size range · Seal method · Changeover time · Case count verification
Bagging / FFS Machine	Type · Bags per minute · Bag size range · Seal integrity check · Film / material · Changeover time
Seamer / Can Closer	Seaming heads · Cans per minute · Can sizes run · Seam teardown / inspection · Seaming roll change interval

Anything not listed is recorded under “Other Packaging & Labelling” — no list of industrial equipment is ever finished, and a register that pretends otherwise forces people to pick something untrue.
