A labelling apparatus for labelling a tray while the tray is conveyed by a conveyor means. A label feeder device is configured to place a label onto a top surface of the tray. A first tucker device is arranged sidewise to the conveyor means and includes an applicator block. A first moving mechanism is configured to move the applicator block in a back and forth direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the tray. The applicator block is movable from an initial position to a labelling position where the applicator block presses the portion of the label exceeding a side surface of the tray such that the applicator block follows the shape of the side surface of the tray via a rotational movement of the applicator block around the rotation axis.

A customizable wrapper for a product, such as a candy bar, including a wrapper assembly having a pair of removable edges. A face sheet of the wrapper assembly includes a printable surface and an integrated wrapper sized to cover the product on both a front and back. A back sheet of the wrapper assembly includes a removable portion at least partially overlaying the wrapper, the removable portion removable to expose an adhesive surface along the wrapper. The customized wrapper is then wrapped around the product and adhered along the exposed adhesive.

An apparatus for and a process of applying labels to boxes are disclosed. A box (1) is received in a labeling zone. A label carrier (30) is vertically moveable relative to the labeling zone to place the center portion of a label (5) onto the upper side of the box. Two presser elements (21, 21) arranged on two mutually opposite lateral sides of the labeling zone are downwardly moveable both relative to the labeling zone and relative to the label carrier so as to fold and apply end portions of the label onto the lateral sides of the box.

A labeling system includes a frame component pivotal between a label load position, a first label apply position and a second label apply position. A vacuum applicator is carried on the frame component for movement with the frame component. A first actuator is configured for pivoting the frame component between the label load position and the first label apply position. A second actuator is configured for pivoting the frame component from the label load position to the second label apply position. The second label apply position is located between the label load position and the first label apply position. The labeling system can be used to apply one label to the leading side of an item moving along a conveyance path, and to apply another label to the lateral side of the same item.

There is disclosed a label for a microscope slide having a width and a thickness. The label includes a body having a top side and an underside with adhesive. The body defines at least a first panel, a second panel and a third panel. At least one of the panels covers the width of a section of the slide. The label includes at least two folding strip sections. A first of the strip sections is between the first panel and the second panel. A second of the strip sections is between the second panel and the third panel. The strip sections cover the thickness of the section of the slide. A pre-application fold lines demarcates the strip sections from the adjacent panels. The first panel receives information thereon or covers information on the slide, and the third panel is transparent. A method for applying a label is also disclosed.

A method for aligning rectangular packaging boxes comprises the steps of conveying packaging boxes along a transport path and of aligning each packaging box by means of at least one stop element. The step of aligning a packaging box comprises the steps of positioning the at least one stop element in a first position, in which it projects into the transport path; conveying the packaging box against the at least one stop element until each section of the packaging box facing the at least one stop element is resting against it; and moving the at least one stop element into a second position, in which it does not project into the transport path and thus releases the aligned packaging box for further transport.

An applicator for stamped parts. An example applicator includes a stamped part strip roll made of a stamped part strip, comprising a liner strip and stamped parts arranged separated from each other in a longitudinal direction on the liner strip. The applicator further includes a liner strip take-up reel and a dispensing edge, which is arranged between the stamped part strip roll and the liner strip take-up reel in the running direction, and around which the liner strip can be stripped off. The applicator additionally includes a suction belt, arranged at the dispensing edge, with a pressing surface on an applicator tip, on which the stamped part, detached from the stamped part strip and transferred to the suction belt, can be positioned.
