US 2014/0041801 A1 · ASSEMBLY FOR TRANSPORTING REELS WITH WOUND FOIL AND METHOD FOR ARRANGING FOIL ONTO A CONTAINER

Abstract

The invention relates to an assembly of reels and transport platforms. The reels comprise foil to be arranged as labels onto containers. The invention also relates to a method for arranging a label onto a container at a labelling plant. According to the method containers and labels are provided at the labelling plant. The labels are arranged onto the containers. At a foil production plant, at least 80 mm of foil height of foil comprising labels is wound onto a deformable core with an opening. This forms a reel. Three or more reels are positioned on a transport platform such as a pallet for transporting to the labelling plant. Two of the reels are ovally shaped having an oval ratio (Rlw) of length:width of at least 1.1. At the labelling plant the foil is unwound from the reel and cut into labels.
