The invention relates to a device (1) for labelling individual products (2), in particular packages or goods, with a feed device (3) for transporting a respective product (2) along a transporting path, with a label application device (4) with a blower head (5) for applying a label (6) to the surface of the product (2), wherein the blower head (5) has holding means (7) for fixing the label (6) in a blow-off position (II) and blow-off means (8) for producing a blast of compressed air directed in a blow-off direction (A) from the blow-off position (II) to the feed device (3), and with a label dispensing device (9) for providing a label (6) in a dispensing position (I). In order to precisely transfer labels (6) to a surface of a product (2) to be labelled in the simplest way possible the invention proposes that the label application device (4) comprises a conveying unit (11) for transporting the respective label (6) from the dispensing position (I) to the blow-off position (II), wherein the conveying unit (11) has a transporting element (12) and pressing force generation means (14). The invention also relates to a method of labelling individual products (2).
A device for labelling individual products being transported along a transporting path comprising a label application device with a blower head for applying a label to a surface of a respective product, wherein the blower head has holding means for fixing the label in a blow-off position and blow-off means for producing a blast of compressed air directed in a blow-off direction from the blow-off position toward the product, wherein the label application device comprises a conveying unit for transporting the label from a dispensing position to the blow-off position, wherein the conveying unit comprises a transporting element and pressing force generation means, wherein the label application device comprises separate label adjusting means rotatable about an axis of rotation parallel to the blow-off direction, which has one or more suction openings which are in fluid connection with, or are configured to be brought into fluidic connection with, an under pressure generating unit, and wherein the transporting element leads past the suction openings.
