Craft Distillery

For micro-distilleries, production space is at a pre-
mium and accommodating new machinery can be
a challenge. CDA offers a solution with Ninette 2, a
semi-automatic labeling machine that applies two
adhesive labels in a single operation. Compact and
portable, it solves a major packaging need without
taking up a lot of space, and its speed can accom-
modate up to 500 bottles an hour. The machine
also handles different product formats, such as
glass or PVC, eliminating the hassle of changing
materials. The Ninette 2 works with CDA’s auto-
matic and semi-automatic filling machines. Another
model, the Ninette 1, applies a single label at a
time and is also designed for small distillery opera-
tions.

CDA also has a range of labeling options to suit
the production needs of medium and large craft
distilleries. Some of the company’s clients turn to
its R1000/R1500 automatic labeling machines that
can label up to 1,500 bottles an hour and place up
to four labels on a bottle at a time.

Regarding industrial size distilleries, CDA touts
product solutions that can readily integrate into
existing packaging lines. The company says that its
evolving products of automatic labeling machines
can either be added to a complete, existing line or
as a dependable backup option.

Belmark

Belmark is a Wisconsin-based company specializ-
ing in pressure-sensitive labels, flexible packaging
and folding cartons. Founded in 1977, the company
has grown from three employees and a single print-
ing press to 1,000 workers in six facilities and three
locations.

One of Belmark’s key customer service specialties
is helping clients achieve high-end labels on a bud-
get. Belmark uses its Web-to-Print process to get
the look clients want within a price they can afford.
For example, to achieve the quality and appearance
of a hot foil stamped label, Belmark uses its Web-
to-Print metallic inks. To get the look of embossing,
the company uses a dual finish appearance with a
spot gloss. The combination of these methods gives
clients the metallic look they want without a hefty
price tag. Web-to-Print makes it possible to handle
orders in as little as 24 hours.

Belmark points to its Trident and Trident MAX
