Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0125544A2] A method and a device for applying labels in selected directions to packages are described, one surface of the label bearing adhesive and the opposite face bearing print markings. Conveying devices for the package ensure that the latter is presented to an application station. The label is held by support devices in such a manner that the printed side is situated on the side of the support device, and holding devices hold the label, wherefrom an application station comes into engagement with the label and applies the latter to the package. In order to select the directions of the label to be applied, a device and a method are proposed which can be used to achieve a precise and accurately controlled redirection of the label before engagement with an applicator nozzle. The device (26) comprises apparatuses (62-74) for the selective rotation of the label-holding apparatus (40) from a first orientation to a second after the label (22) has been fed to this apparatus (40) and before the application apparatus (24, 50) engages with the label, as a result of which the orientation of the label upon attaching to the package (10) can be selectively controlled. <IMAGE>
