Abstract
A method for applying labels on articles, which are guided in parallel lanes, for which in each case a row of labels is dispensed by a label dispenser from a backing, taken up by a transfer path guided transversely over the lanes and transferred in a transfer step onto the articles, the transfers step comprising the moving of a lifting tool, extending along a section of the transfer path onto article lanes for pressing the labels onto the articles and the return of the lifting tool into its starting position. The dispensed labels are taken up at a point of the transfer path, which is at a distance from the lifting tool, and the dispending of a row of labels is commenced before the step of transferring a previous row of labels is concluded.
