Abstract
A labelling unit and a method for labelling containers is provided. Said method provides rapid and reliable switching movements with low noise development and low wear of the mechanical components in that suction bars for suctioning label areas at places where container gaps occur can be actively switched back to an inner position, in which they do not come into contact with a gluing unit, and in that the switching process is triggered with the aid of a stationary toggle lever.
