A system for applying decorative labels to articles, the system including unwind reel, a wind reel, a web, a web path which transfers the web from the unwind reel to the wind reel, a transfer point on the web path at which a label is transferred from the web to the article. The improvement lies in removing a piece of the web from the web at the transfer point using that piece as a portion of the label and removing it in such a way that the web remains capable of being transferred from the transfer point to the take up reel. The label is formed by perforating a portion of the web as a part of the label and by placing a thermally-actuated adhesive on the label portion of the web but not significantly on the non-label portion of the web.
