An apparatus for applying heat sensitive labels and pressure sensitive labels wherein the apparatus can be readily changed to apply heat sensitive labels or pressure sensitive labels from a web along which the labels are positioned. In one mode for applying heat sensitive labels, the web is moved from a feed reel adjacent a preheater and a platen where successive labels are peeled from the web and applied to successive containers on a turret and thereafter the web is stored on a take-up reel. In a second mode, the preheater and platen are removed, a peel bar assembly is positioned in place of the platen, and the web with the labels thereon is moved about the peel bar assembly to peel a label from the web and apply the pressure sensitive label to an article on the turret and the web is thereafter redirected to the take-up reel.
The method of utilizing an apparatus for applying heat sensitive labels to a container to apply pressure sensitive labels wherein the apparatus applying heat sensitive labels includes a web on which the heat sensitive labels are moved from a feed reel adjacent a preheater and a platen where successive labels are applied directly from the web to successive containers on a turret and thereafter the web is stored on a take-up reel, which method comprises
An apparatus which can be used for applying heat sensitive labels or applying pressure sensitive labels wherein the apparatus applying heat sensitive labels comprises
An apparatus which can be used for applying heat sensitive labels or applying pressure sensitive labels wherein the apparatus applying heat sensitive labels comprises
