Abstract (en)
A label handling system in which a face material supported on a carrier is transported through various stages including a die cutting stage (where labels are cut into the face material) and a label separation/application stage at which point the labels are separated from the carrier and applied to a product surface. In one embodiment the carrier is recyclable for repeated use in the system. In another embodiment, a laminator is used to attach the face material to the carrier and controlled so as to improve the release value of the face material. In a further embodiment, the die cutting is undertaken prior to attachment of the face material to the carrier preventing damage of the carrier during the cutting process. <IMAGE>
