Abstract

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.
