A method and an apparatus (2) for mounting self-adhesive foil (19) which is provided with a liner (21) treated with anti-seize material, where a transverse cut is performed in the liner (21) at a short distance from a free end edge (37) of the foil (19). The self-adhesive foil (19) is rolled in a roll with a front side of the foil (19) facing outwards, and with the upper part of the image on the foil disposed at the free edge (37) of the roll. The free edge (37) of the foil (19) is fixed externally on an application apparatus (2). The foil roll is placed in the application apparatus (2) with the free end of the roll passed out of the apparatus through an outlet before closing and fixing a lid (12) over an inlet aperture (18). The liner (21) is released from the foil (19) below the transverse cut. The upper part of the foil is disposed in the desired position of application. A plane top side (27) of the application apparatus (2) is preferably used as a guide, whereafter the foil is transferred under pressure against the surface of application and simultaneously with downward movement of the application apparatus (2). The foil is mounted in stretched position on the application surface, while the liner (21) is continuously released from the foil (19). |
