In a label affixing device, a printing unit prints on a portion of a tape. The tape includes a label and a release material affixed to an adhesive surface of the label. A peeling part is disposed downstream relative to the printing unit in a conveying direction of the tape, and peels the label off the release material. A support part supports the label entirely peeled off the release material. An affixing part is disposed downstream relative to the peeling part in a conveying direction of the label, and affixes the label supported by the support part to an adherend. A housing has a prescribed installation surface via which the housing is placed. The support part is configured to support an opposite surface of the label from a side on which the installation surface is disposed. The opposite surface is a surface of the label opposite the adhesive surface.

A labeling station in labeling machines for pre-adhesive labels, including a feeding assembly with unwinding rollers of a respective spool of backing tape with adhesive labels applied thereto and at least one assembly for applying the labels which has a peeling device located proximate to the containers to be labeled and adapted to separate the individual labels from the backing tape for application, and at least two mutually composable parts, respectively a first part, which includes a first support which forms a first worktable, on which the application assembly is mounted, and a second part, which includes a second support, on which at least the feeding assembly is mounted. The feeding assembly further includes a splicing system for joining the backing tapes which are unwound from the unwinding rollers and a group of dandy rolls, while at least one first redirection roller is mounted on the first worktable.

A label assembly and a method for affixing a label to a surface, the label assembly comprising: a label support liner having a label receiving surface comprising a release coating, the label support liner including a main liner portion and a removable liner portion separable from the main liner portion; and a label layer extending over the label receiving surface, the label layer including: a label releasably affixed to the label receiving surface, the label including a first label portion overlapping the main liner portion and a second label portion overlapping the removable liner portion such that separating the removable liner portion from the main liner portion and moving the removable liner portion away from the label receiving surface peels the first label portion away from the main liner portion while the second label portion remains affixed to the removable liner portion.
