A method and a device are disclosed for supplying a plurality of labels to a labeling device. The device includes a carton containing a stack of labels. The labels are packaged in the carton with the top ends of the labels adjacent to a bottom wall of the carton and the bottom ends of the labels are positioned at an open top end of the carton. A feed carriage of the labeling device is filled by inverting and positioning the carton on the feed carriage with the open end facing the bottom wall of the feed carriage. The carton is then removed from the feed carriage, leaving the labels on the feed carriage in an upright position. The feed carriage is then delivered to the labeling device for applying the labels to the containers.

Method and device for supplying labels to labeling device

A bottle handling device for assisting in inserting a number of similar sized bottles into a secondary container, such as a partitionless beer carton. The device comprises a frame which, when inserted into the empty carton, provides a number of similar sized cells or compartments equal to the number of bottles which would completely fill the carton. The frame is maintained by support means above the shoulders of the bottles when located in the carton. Each bottle is inserted into, and its main body passes through, the frame until the bottle sits on the carton floor, the walls of each cell preventing a bottle in that cell from toppling over and hindering the insertion of further bottles and completion of filling of the carton. Upon completion and filling of the carton, the device is readily removed for reuse and the bottles are maintained in their upright condition by contacting adjacent bottles and the carton walls.
