Systems and methods for applying decorations onto substrates. Decorations can be transported on a web along the web path to an application station at which the decorations are applied to substrates. Movement of substrates through the application station can be controlled to effect transfer of a decoration to a substrate. The web and a substrate support that urges a substrate into contact with a decoration on the web can be moved in the same direction, e.g., at different speeds. The substrate can be rotated during decoration transfer about an axis that passes through the substrate, e.g., the substrate can be rotated 180 degrees or more during transfer.

Systems and methods for substrate decoration

Systems and methods for applying decorations onto substrates. Decorations can be transported on a web along the web path to an application station at which the decorations are applied to substrates. Movement of substrates through the application station can be controlled by rollers that are movable to permit and/or prevent entry to the application station and/or exit from the application station. The rollers can urge a substrate into contact with a decoration, and movement of the decoration and web at the application station can cause rotation of the substrate during decoration transfer.

Systems and methods for substrate movement for decoration

Systems and methods for applying decorations from a web onto substrates are disclosed. According to some aspects, a decoration may be transferred from the web directly to a substrate based on contact of the substrate with an adhesive of a portion of the decoration while the portion of the decoration is attached to the web.
