The invention relates to a method for providing a tire with an informative label. The method comprises supporting a tire, supplying a banding material to the tire and wrapping it in a loop around a part of the tire, holding the banding material at the neck of said loop, and connecting opposed areas of the banding material at said neck to form a label wrap. The invention further relates to an apparatus for carrying out the method and to a tire provided with the label. The informative label is easily removed by a mechanic and shows an improved processability and printability. The informative label further does not leave any adhesive or other residuals on a tire.

A machine for applying tubular film to products includes a mandrel assembly about which tubular film is passed and a film cutter for cutting the tubular film into sleeves sized for application to containers. The mandrel assembly includes a sleeve section located below the film cutter and about which a sleeve length portion of the tubular film extends prior to each film cutting operation of the film cutter to produce a cut sleeve. A sleeve ejection arrangement includes a rotatable ejector wheel disposed along the sleeve section of the mandrel assembly.

A container including one or more labeling devices that can be detached from the container. Preferably the container can hold a plurality of different articles and includes a plurality of labeling devices for identifying the different articles. After the articles are removed from the container, the articles may be identified by the labeling devices by detaching the labeling devices and attaching or placing the labeling device on or near its corresponding article. Preferred labeling devices include one or more labeling areas that provide information regarding an article.

A process for forming a sleeve on a container including the steps of: providing a container; placing a shrink sleeve around the container; conforming the shrink sleeve to the container by shrinking the shrink sleeve; providing a predetermined removeable portion in the shrink sleeve; providing a striker moving tangentially relative to the predetermined removeable portion; and removing the predetermined removeable portion by contacting the striker to the predetermined removeable portion.

This invention relates to a shrink wrap machine, which includes a central column and a shrink film synchronous transmission equipment. Said central column is provided with a first column and a second column which are configured to mutual suspended separation for removing the connection between the first column and the second column so that the shrink wrap machine can be expand to fit onto the desired diameter range of bottles or cans and increase the application of the shrink-film. When the shrink-film is opened by the first column of the center column, the shrink-film will be continuously transport by the label feeding rollers and the label pulling rollers of said shrink film synchronous transmission equipment. After the shrink-film is cut by the cutter equipment, a piece of the shrink-film will be pulled down by the label pulling rollers and the second guide pulleys and the shrink-film will be wrapped on the surface of the bottles or cans. Then the conveying equipment will convey the bottles and cans toward to the next equipment and making the shrink film and the bottles or cans be shrunk packaging completely.
