The invention relates to the provision of a removable wrap-around label (3) for a barrel (1), cask or the like and an apparatus adapted to provide such a label and a method for operating said apparatus. In use, a number of barrels (1) are positioned on conveyor (12) and travel in a forward direction (22) towards the labelling station (10). At the labelling station, the foremost edge (30) of barrel (1) contacts a first side (32) of plastic web label (3), which is fed by means of simultaneously rotation of reels (14). As the barrel (1) continues to move forward, web (3) is carried therewith such that it is wrapped around the girth of the barrel (1). Then at the centre (10A) of labelling station (10), devices (16) unite and trap therebetween web (3) by moving towards each other. Two sealing heads on these devices (16) are activated and a cutting head cuts the web (3) in between, thus providing on one side a label wrapped around the barrel and uniting again the two cut parts of the web (3) for further operation. |
