<p>Labels are positioned within selected labeling regions on packages (101) processed by an integrated packaging machine (100), by means of horizontally shifting a package labeler (116) relative to the packages in response to package dimensions which define the edges of the packages. Packages are weighed at an input tray (102) of the machine and at least one horizontal package dimension is measured and represented by package signals as a package is transported on a conveyor (112) to an elevator (114), which raises the package into a section of wrapping material supplied by sources (115A,115B) which is then wrapped about the package as one or more labels are applied. The labeler (116) positioned over the elevator generates labels for the packages for example generates price labels in response to weight signals. A label applicator (118) also positioned over the elevator (114), receives and applies labels to the packages as they are being wrapped. The label applicator (118) is shifted horizontally in response to the package signals to position labels on the packages within selected labeling regions.</p> |
