A device for printing, severing and applying self-adhesive labels, wherein the device operates with a label material without a carrier strip. The label material has a printable layer, a carrier layer and a heat-sealable adhesive layer. The device has an applicator, by way of which the label is applied to an object to be labelled. The applicator can be moved up to the object to be labelled by way of a handling device, and the handling device is constructed in accordance with the principle of an open kinematic chain and has at least one translational kinematic axis and/or at least one rotational kinematic axis. The applicator can be heated by way of a heating device which operates in accordance with an electrical operating principle.

An automated labeling method and apparatus includes a label web-severing mechanism and a label-applying assembly, the web-severing mechanism configured to synchronously sever a plurality of labels from a self-wound label web, and the label-applying assembly configured to synchronously apply the plurality of severed labels to a corresponding plurality of articles to be labeled.

There is described a labelling machine for applying label sheets onto articles comprising: a web feeding unit for feeding a web of labelling material formed by a series of label sheets joined to each other; a label transfer device receiving said web from the web feeding device at an input station and adapted to feed single label sheets to respective articles at an application station spaced apart from the input station; and a cutting device for cutting the web of labelling material in single label sheets; the label transfer device comprises a transfer conveyor adapted to retain the label sheets and to release the label sheets themselves on the articles at the application station; the transfer conveyor comprises a closed-loop transfer track and at least two label holders movable on the transfer track by means of a magnetic-inductive interaction.

The present application relates to a method and system for labeling one or more products such as packages transported along a conveyer, and more specifically to applying a label on a respective package by way of a vertically adjustable assembly positioned above the conveyor. The adjustable assembly includes at least a label printer and an applicator for printing and applying the label on a surface of the package on the conveyor.

An automated labeling method and apparatus includes a label web-severing mechanism and a label-applying assembly, the web-severing mechanism configured to synchronously sever a plurality of labels from a self-wound label web, and the label-applying assembly configured to synchronously apply the plurality of severed labels to a corresponding plurality of articles to be labeled.

The invention relates inter alia to a device (1) for labeling objects (3), preferably containers. The device (1) includes a label conveyor (7) for conveying a plurality of labels (2) along a circulating conveyor track (19) by means of multiple movement devices (20). The label conveyor (7) has a plurality of module docking stations (52). At least one auxiliary unit module is connected to one of the plurality of module docking stations (52). Advantageously, the flexibility of the device (1) can thus be substantially increased.

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.

A labeling machine, which includes a conveyor for conveying containers to be labeled and at least one labeling station provided with an unwinding assembly for a label ribbon on which a plurality of labels are printed in succession, and at least one drum which is provided, peripherally, with runners which have at least one relief portion, in relief with respect to the lateral surface of the drum; a spreading roller for spreading adhesive on the label ribbon; at least one of the runners has at least one contoured part in order to allow the application, by the spreading roller, on the portion of the label ribbon and/or of the labels that is on the contoured part, of at least one adhesive imprint which has at least one region without adhesive.

Devices, systems, and methods for automatically printing and applying one or more label to at least one item to enable shipping of the at least one item by a carrier are provided. In some aspects, a movable label applicator device includes a printer for printing the one or more label onto a supply of labeling material, wherein the one or more printed label contains unique information associated with the at least one item. In some aspects, the device further includes an applicator for applying the one or more printed label to a surface of the at least one item, wherein the applicator is configured to apply multiple labels to the surface of the at least one item such that the multiple labels are removably stacked on top of one another.
