摘要

A cartridge (11) for accommodating a transfer strip (19) carrying an array of decorative bodies each having at least one flat surface comprises an uptake reel (17) carrying a first portion of the transfer strip (19) without decorative bodies; a supply reel (15) carrying a second portion of the transfer strip (19) with the array of decorative bodies; and at least one guide reel (27, 35) for guiding the transfer strip (19) from the supply reel (15) to the uptake reel (17) along a strip pathway, wherein the guide reel (27, 35) is positioned between the uptake reel (17) and the supply reel (15) along the strip pathway, wherein the uptake reel (17) and the supply reel (15) are parallel and non-coplanar.
