ABSTRACT:
By providing a system for contacting a label and controllably moving the label into direct, secure, adhesive engagement with a container and its flange member, a dependable, effective, and reliable label applying apparatus and label application method is realized which securely affixes a label in its entirety to a product container on a continuous production basis, totally eliminating unwanted tenting of labels. By employing the present invention, a product holding container, having a forwardly protruding lip or flange, is advanced towards a label dispensing zone with the label positioned for contacting the leading-edge of the forwardly protruding flange. Once the label is attached, typically at its midpoint, to the leading edge of the forwardly protruding lip or flange, label smoothing or tamping means are advanced into contact with the central portion of the label, advancing the center of the label into secure affixation with the top and bottom surfaces of the protruding lip or flange, as well as the front end of the product container.
