<p>A placer mechanism for a web (1) of linerless labels for placing individual labels on a product includes a separator (14) that separates the individual labels from the web, a buffer (10) disposed downstream of the separator that receives the individual labels, and a buffer suspension assembly (12) movably supporting the buffer such that the buffer is positionable to deliver the individual labels to the product. The buffer is preferably a rotatable vacuum drum that is capable of accommodating labels of various lengths and widths. In addition, the buffer suspension assembly preferably enables the rotatable vacuum drum to be displaced to meet the product to which the label is to be affixed. A method of placing individual labels is also provided.</p> |
