SYSTEM FOR APPLYING LINER-FREE LABELS

摘要

A system includes an applicator (212) including at least one aperture (272) configured to apply fluid to a back side of a label, the back side of the label including a fluid activatable adhesive; a speed detector (24) configured to detect a speed of the label along a label path through the system; and a control system configured to control fluid application to the label based on the speed of the label. The label may be moved by two different label drives while fluid is applied to the label by the applicator, and a speed at which the label is moved by a first drive may be used to control a speed at which the label is moved by a second drive.
