A press-on device for a labeling machine that presses an adhesive label onto a product package. The press-on device may comprise a slide element as a support for a product package, a conveying unit for conveying a product package along a conveying direction, and a folding element for folding an adhesive label applied to an upper surface of the product package and projecting beyond the package. The press-on device additionally comprises a motor and a press-on unit driven by the motor and moved in a linear movement during operation of the press-on device, the press-on unit being configured to press an end of the adhesive label onto a lower surface of the product package during the linear movement of the press-on unit.

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 medicine dispensing apparatus fills a vial having a polygonal cross-sectional shape with medicines to dispense the medicines. The apparatus contains a stocker, a first vial transporting unit, a vial orienting unit, a labeling unit, a second vial transporting unit, a medicine filling unit, and a vial discharging window. The stocker stores the vial. The first vial transporting unit transports the vial from the stocker to the labeling unit. The vial orienting unit adjusts an orientation of the vial. The labeling unit labels the vial. The second vial transporting unit transports the vial from the labeling unit to the medicine filling unit. The medicine filling unit fills the vial with the medicines. The second vial transporting unit further transports the vial from the medicine filling unit to the vial discharging window, where the vial is discharged through the vial discharging window.

A packaging machine for grouping individual package units, the packaging machine comprising a feeder, a conveying system, a grouping station and a labeler. The packaging machine is configured to stack at least three package units one on top of the other to form a package stack and to encompass the package stack, at least partially, with a label. The label may comprise one or two labels, wherein the label sections are pressed against the top of the package stack and folded around the side and bottom of the package stack to secure the sections together. The packaging machine may further comprises a press plunger that presses at least one hinge-like tab formed on a main surface of the label onto a side face of a central package unit of the package stack to further secure the packages in the stack.

The present invention relates to a labeler comprising a label dispenser used for applying an adhesive label to a folded product and a press-on device following the label dispenser in the conveying direction of a conveyor system. The press-on device comprises two press-on units, wherein one of the press-on units is reversibly drivable by means of a motor.

A sheet sticking apparatus 10 includes holding means 13 provided so as to be capable of holding an adhesive sheet S, and sticking means 12 that sticks the adhesive sheet S to an adherend surface W0 of an adherend W. The sticking means 12 includes a first sticking portion 15 capable of sticking a part of the adhesive sheet S held by the holding means 13 to a first sticking surface by pressure, and a second sticking portion 16 that sticks portions of the adhesive sheet S that have not yet been stuck by using the first sticking portion 15 to second sticking surfaces by pressure.
