Abstract
A label for a glass container is preprinted with inks and adhesive on a separable substrate and cured, and the printed label is then transferred to the container. The labelled container is then coated with a protective material. The label application apparatus includes a mechanism for indexing the label web in such a manner as to minimize starting and stopping of the supply and take-up reels when labels are applied to plural containers simultaneously.
