ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus is provided for semi-automatically applying a label to a cylindrical container. The method comprises the steps of removing a label from a label repository and transporting it into contact with a glue-retaining surface and then into contact with a rotating cylindrical container. The cylindrical container is rotated at a surface speed which is slightly faster than the speed at which the label is moved past the glue-retaining surface. Therefore, when the leading edge of the label comes into contact with the rotating cylindrical container, the central portion of the label is pulled away from the glue-retaining surface. As the label is drawn by the rotating cylindrical container, the trailing edge of the label is caused to contact the glue-retaining surface. By this method, glue is automatically applied to the leading edge and to the trailing edge of a label but not applied to the central portion of the label, and the label is automatically applied to a cylindrical container.
