Abstract:
1. A method for forming a cut label on a liner comprising: feeding a web of label material to a cutting station and forming a cut label material having an adhesive face on the cut label material; cutting the label material to provide a matrix adjacent a leading edge of the cut label and a trailing edge of the cut label, the distance between the leading edge and the trailing edge defining a length for the cut label; stabilizing the leading edge of the label material with respect to the matrix adjacent the leading edge before the trailing edge of the label material leaves the cutting station, the stabilizing being effected without vacuum being distributed over an area comprising at least 50% of the surface area of the cut label; feeding the leading edge of the label material and the matrix adjacent the leading edge of label material into a nip formed between a set of rollers, while the trailing edge of the label is stabilized without vacuum; feeding a web of liner into the set of rollers against the adhesive face.
