ABSTRACT:
A web of adhesive labels for use with a machine for applying tax stamps or like adhesive labels to articles such as cigarette packages arranged in two or more rows in a carton, including mechanism for advancing the carton lengthwise with exposed ends of the packages facing upwardly, and a head disposed above the path of carton advance for transporting a corresponding number of rows of spaced-apart labels into contact with the advancing package ends while the labels and packages are moving in the same direction and at the same velocity. The head, which is movable vertically to accommodate packages of different heights, carries a supply of the labels in the form of an adhesive-backed web bearing spaced longitudinal rows of label imprints; a pinwheel for advancing the web lengthwise; a slicer for removing from the advancing web a longitudinal strip portion between the rows of imprints; a knife for cutting the separated rows of imprints into individual labels; and vacuum means for receiving the cut labels and transporting them, lengthwise of the rows, into contact with the package ends. The web has sprocket holes, for engagement by the pinwheel, disposed between the longitudinal rows of imprints and in register with the imprints of these rows.
