A high-speed labeling device ( 20 ) is provided for use on form, fill and seal packaging equipment or other types of thermoforming equipment. The device ( 20 ) includes a label dispensing unit ( 22 ) operable to sequentially and successively deliver a plurality of labels to a delivery location ( 56 ). A label transport assembly ( 24 ) is locates adjacent to unit ( 22 ) and has a shiftable label-receiving component ( 58 ) operable to receive labels ( 28 ). A control assembly ( 55, 68, 54 a) is operably coupled with the dispensing unit ( 22 ) and transport assembly ( 24 ) in order to dispense the plural webs ( 28 ) as a group and without interruption in the movement of the component ( 58 ) during sequential dispensing of the labels ( 28 ). The device ( 20 ) can achieve labeling speeds up to 50% greater than those obtainable with conventional labelers.
