MACHINE AND METHOD FOR IMPRESSING RELEASABLE FOIL ON TO A MOVING WEB

摘要

Apparatus for transferring foil from a carrier tape (48) to a moving web (2) comprising a rotatable cylinder (17) including at least one die (51). The web is traversed around the cylinder. A transport mechanism (42, 49) which is rotatable with the cylinder indexes the tape generally lengthwise of the cylinder and over the position of the die. The tape travels along a guide (59) in the cylinder. Where the tape passes over the position of the die a roller or band presses the web against the tape and the die.
