The present disclosure relates to a method of attaching a shrinkable label on at least one product wherein the shrinkable label comprises a film comprising heat shrinkable material and photothermic material, the method comprising: transporting a plurality of products on a product conveyor through an irradiation volume defined by a plurality of UV light emitters arranged sideways of the product conveyor; arranging at least one reflector between consecutive products on the product conveyor while the at least one product is being transported; controlling the UV light emitters to emit UV-light towards the shrinkable label arranged around the at least one product in the irradiation volume and towards the at least one reflector arranged between consecutive products in order for the photothermic material of the shrinkable label to heat up causing the heat shrinkable material to shrink around the at least one product.

A layer transferring device includes: a main casing having an opening and accommodating a heat roller, a motor, and a first transmission gear therein; a film cartridge; and a cover at which a pressure roller and a second transmission gear is provided and movable about a pivot axis to open and close the opening. The heat roller is movable toward and away from the pressure roller when the cover is closed. When the film cartridge is attached to the main casing and the cover is closed, the multilayer film contacts and passes through between the pressure roller and the heat roller. When the cover is closed, the first transmission gear for receiving a driving force from the motor and the second transmission gear for transmitting a driving force to the pressure roller are positioned between the pivot axis and the heat roller and in meshing engagement with each other.

A method and apparatus for applying stamps to a group of packages wherein the stamps are arranged in a predetermined pattern and the packages in the group are arranged in a different pattern, such that the stamps are applied to the packages uniformly and without waste using an apparatus having one or more carriages moveable in the x- and/or y-directions.

Apparatuses and methods for applying a transfer material onto the surface of an article are disclosed, including apparatuses and methods of transfer printing on and/or decorating three-dimensional articles, as well as the articles printed and/or decorated thereby. In some cases, the apparatuses and methods involve providing a deposition device, such as a printing device; providing a transfer component; depositing a material onto a portion of the transfer component with the deposition device; modifying the portion of the transfer component with the transfer material thereon to conform the transfer component to at least a portion of the surface of the three-dimensional article; and transferring the transfer material onto the surface of the article.
