A label wrapping device configured to warp a label around a cable includes a stripping part, a conveying roller, an insertion recess, a driving part and a controller. The conveying roller conveys the label peeled off a release paper by the stripping part in a conveying direction along a conveying path. The insertion recess is positioned downstream of the conveying roller in the conveying direction and is open toward the conveying path. The controller is configured to control the driving part: (a) to enable the conveying roller to convey the label peeled off the release paper in the conveying direction; and (b) to enable the conveying roller to halt conveyance of the label when an upstream end of the label becomes positioned downstream relative to the stripping part in the conveying direction and after the label covers at least a portion of an opening of the insertion recess.

Labelling machine for labelling containers, having at least one docking station for a labelling apparatus and a machine control system, wherein the docking station comprises at least one network access for establishing a network connection between the machine control system and a docked labelling apparatus, wherein the network connection is designed to transmit security-relevant data and/or time-critical data, and wherein the network access is connected to a manageable Ethernet network switch of the machine control system with a DHCP server, wherein the DHCP server is adapted to assign a preset IP address determined by the DHCP server to a labelling apparatus connected to the network access.

A protective film that can be included in multi-layer film laminates for use in marketing, advertising campaigns, particularly outdoor or other environment impacted promotions and safety applications. The film includes at least two different polyurethane polymers and is free or substantially free of polyvinyl chloride based polymer. One polyurethane has an ultimate elongation less than 200%, and another polyurethane has an ultimate elongation more than 400%. The film may be transparent, translucent, clear or have other desirable optical properties.

A peel plate with a rotating rod is provided. The peel plate with the rotating rod may be used in a label dispensing system in place of a standard peel plate having a narrow-edged portion. The peel plate with the rotating rod reduces the friction over a liner (e.g., having labels disposed on both sides) during label dispensing of a first side, which would thereby reduce or eliminate the curling effect of the liner for subsequent (second side) label dispensing.

A label including a first strip including a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The first strip includes an opaque material. The first strip further includes a first area proximate the first end. The first area includes a first length along a longitudinal axis common to the first strip. The label also includes a second strip including a third end and a fourth end opposite the third end, wherein the second strip includes a transparent material. The second strip is laminated over the first strip such that the third end is disposed outside the first area. The fourth end extends beyond the second end a distance at least equal to the first length.

A battery label attachment apparatus for attaching a label to a battery including a label support on which the label is placed, an alignment check part configured to check whether an alignment state of the label is normal or defective, and a label aligning part configured to align the label when the alignment state determined by the alignment check part is defective is provided. A method for attaching a label to a battery is also provided.

A labeling device and a method for applying labels to containers comprising an unwinding unit for receiving thereon at least one supply roll with a label tape; having an intermediate buffer unit for temporarily storing the label tape unwound from the supply roll, the intermediate buffer unit comprising at least one first movable roller unit; a drive unit arranged downstream of the intermediate buffer unit when seen in the conveying direction and used for driving the label tape in the conveying direction and processing unit for separating the label tape into the individual labels and for optionally coating the labels with glue and for transferring the labels to the containers wherein the intermediate buffer unit and the drive unit have arranged between them a separately configured, dynamic buffer unit comprising at least one second roller unit which is movable independently of the intermediate buffer unit.

An apparatus for cleaning a surface of a glue roller of a labeling station that applies labels to containers includes a modular cleaning unit that one can insert into the apparatus to displace at least one segment of a multi-segment vacuum drum.
