ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for producing a succession of self-adhesive labels carried on a backing of release material, the apparatus comprising means for conveying along a pathway a laminar material comprising a web coated on its reverse side with a pressure sensitive adhesive and having a backing of a release material; detecting means situated along the pathway for detecting a succession of particular locations which are spaced along the length of the laminar material; an adhesive applying station situated along the pathway and including an adhesive applicator, which is operable in response to the means for detecting, for applying a layer of adhesive to a succession of particular areas along the length of the web; a label applying station situated along the pathway downstream of the adhesive applying station, the label applying station including label applying means for successively applying individual pre-printed labels to respective successive areas of adhesive so that a pre-printed label covers each area of the web to which adhesive has been applied, the label applying means being operable in response to the means for detecting; and a cutting station which is situated along the pathway either upstream or downstream of the label applying station, the cutting station including a cutter for cutting through either all of the layers of the laminar material other than the backing or, when the cutting station is downstream of the label applying station, all of those said layers and the pre-printed labels, so as to cut, respectively, either a succession of spaced label portions to which respective labels are subsequently applied at the label applying station or a succession of labels, on the backing.
