APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR APPLYING LINERLESS LABELS

摘要

A method, module and apparatus useful in the application of linerless labels to surfaces of elements is provided in a methodology so that conventional linered label applicators can be used with linerless labels. The module for adapting apparatus which strips liners from a label and applies labels to a substrate, the module enabling the apparatus to apply linerless labels, the module comprising: a source of linerless label sheet, a source of liner sheet, a roll for guiding the linerless label sheet after removal from the source of linerless label, a die cutter and an anvil roller defining an area through which linerless label sheet may move between said die cutter and anvil roller, a laminator roller adjacent to the anvil roller defining an area between the anvil roller and the laminator roller through which both liner sheet and cut-out linerless labels from the linerless label sheet may move between the anvil roller and the laminator roller to form a temporary support of the liner for said cut-out linerless label.
