Abstract
In a method for attaching labels to containers, the labels are removed from a stack by rolling contact with an adhesive surface coated with a cold glue. Prior to termination of the removing step, a localized hot glue coating is in addition applied to the foremost label in the stack. After the label has thus been coated with cold glue and hot glue, it is peeled of the adhesive surface and pressed into contact of its glue-coated backside with a container. The provision that the hot glue coating is applied to the label while it is still held in the magazine ensures that the shape and position of the hot glue coating is fully independent of the speed of the labelling operation.
