PRODUCT LABELLING

摘要

A process and apparatus for labelling products (20) both with a label (13) and a further article, which may comprise a folded leaflet or perhaps a free sample of some other product. Converted labels (13) are unwound from a reel (22) and then an adhesive area (14) on, but smaller than each converted label is exposed, the further article then being adhered to the exposed adhesive area of the label. Thereafter, the label (13) is affixed in a conventional manner to the product (20). The label could be first affixed to the product and then the further article adhered to the exposed adhesive area of the label. The adhering of the further products to the labels at the time of the affixing of the labels to the products allows the economic manufacture and handling of a web of converted labels, together with the easy and separate storage and handling of the further articles.
