An automatic tube and vial labeler is a piece of equipment that automatically prints and/or applies labels onto tubes and vials.

Tube and vial label automation varies in human involvement requirements, ranging from applicators that require manual placement of individual tubes and vials in the machine, to others that allow the user to press a button and walk away for hours at a time.

Many tube and vial labelers can be integrated into larger automated systems including sorting, racking and stacking equipment.

The primary advantages of utilizing automated labeling equipment are cost savings, increased accuracy and throughput.
