Label applying apparatus (e.g. revenue stamps on cigarette packets) includes a system for advancing articles (18B) with labels applied to them to a stabilising region (32) following a signal to interrupt operation of the apparatus. This, together with means for inhibiting further feed of labels (2A) to the adhesive applicator (16), prevents unnecessary waste of labels and/or articles. The apparatus includes a pinch roller (42) carried by a knife drum (12) arranged to sever successive leading ends of a web of label material to form individual labels, the roller cooperating with a suction drum (14) to ensure reliable separation and transfer of successive labels. <IMAGE> |
