Abstract:
1. A method for applying labels supplied from a roll, comprising the steps of: removing a rolled material for a label from a roll; adjusting a cutting device via a control unit for cutting a required length of the label from the rolled material to form a cut label, the cutting device comprising a cutting element and a vacuum roll, the step of adjusting comprising correlating circumferential velocities of the cutting element and the vacuum roll, wherein the circumferential velocities of the cutting element and the vacuum roll are adjustable in order to adapt the required length of the label to be cut to different lengths, and wherein the required length is less than a circumference of a container; applying an adhesive on at least a leading region and on at least a tail region of the label in a glue unit; and applying the cut label with the adhesive applied on the cut label to the circumference of the container in a labeling station, wherein the length is such that the leading region and the tail region of the label applied to the container are spaced apart from each other.
