Linerless label applying system

摘要

A system for applying linerless labels to mailing envelopes including label feeder (20) for feeding a continuous length web of linerless label material (16) through a loop path under base plate (28) to a label applying station juxtaposed to a path traversed by the mailing envelopes conveyed sequentially on edge by a belt conveyor system (12). The material passes to a cutter station (22) operative to sever the material transversely and create labels of a desired height. A paddle member (24) is operative to engage and hold each label as it is severed from the material and to adhere the adhesive side of the label against the mailing envelope passing through the label applying station. The various operating functions of the linerless label applying system may be coordinated by convention control logic.
