A label dispenser equips the stretching units with the film sleeves. The removal units comprise gripping units (29) that are moved between a gripping position (41) for gripping the containers and an avoidance position (43) for avoiding a collision with the label dispenser, with respect to the labeling carousel. A servo motor drives a lifting mechanism of each removal unit. An independent claim is also included for a method for applying elastic film sleeves on containers.
