Abstract

A system for labeling a beverage container includes a conveyer structured to receive and transport the beverage container. The beverage container is prefilled with an ingestible content and sealed. The top of the beverage container has a mark that a lid reader uses to determine a orientation position and generate an alignment signal. Can positioning pads use the alignment signal to position the beverage container rotationally until the mark aligns with a reference position. An air blast station may be present to release high pressure air onto an exterior of the beverage container and a sleeve applicator overlay a shrink wrap sleeve around an exterior of the beverage container. A steam tunnel uses steam to cause the shrink wrap sleeve label to shrink onto the beverage container.
