<p>In one aspect, a labeling apparatus (38) for applying a label (44) onto a moving object includes a label delivery mechanism (40) configured to hold the label (44) and operable to deliver the label (44) to the object. At least first plurality of electrically-actuated adhesive applicators (42) is positioned and arranged to dispense adhesive onto the label (44) such that the label (44) may be adhered to the object. The first plurality of electrically-actuated adhesive applicators (42) is arranged in a first row 49 oriented in a direction transverse to a direction of travel of the label (44) and is configured to dispense adhesive to define a first linear arrangement of dots on the label (44). Second and third pluralities of electrically-actuated adhesive applicators (42) may be used with the first plurality of electrically-actuated adhesive applicators (42) to obtain a desired adhesive arrangement.</p> |
