An example includes a method for forming tubular lengths of linear web material. The example can include winding a portion of linear web material in a tubular configuration such that opposite vertical ends of said linear portion overlap. The example can include welding said overlapping ends to fix said linear portion of linear web material in sleeve configuration. This welding can include heating up at a first temperature a first region of said portion over the whole of which said ends overlap and heating up at a second temperature lower than said first temperature a second region of said portion adjacent to said first region, said ends of said portion of linear web material overlapping over only a part of said second region.

Registration systems for labels in labelling machines, in order to provide the correct positioning of a label on an object, namely on a container are provided. In particular, the registration system of the invention is applicable on a labelling machine of the type that uses a label reel from which single labels are cut and are applied on a container.

Systems and methods for the angular orientation and detection of containers being processed in labeling machines are provided. An apparatus is provided comprising a rotating turntable, a plurality of motor-driven pans each having a controller, an optical sensor and an illuminating device. Also discussed are methods for the detection and angular orientation of containers in labeling machines with such an apparatus.
