Claim:
A method for labelling a bunch ( 2 ) of cloths ( 3 ) stacked onto one another, the method comprising the following steps: a) arranging the bunch ( 2 ) of cloths ( 3 ); b) taking a label ( 4 ) containing a respective identifying code of an upper cloth ( 30 ) lying on top of the bunch ( 2 ), laying onto or beside the label one end, provided with a cavity, of a gripping element and creating in the cavity a pressure lower than an ambient pressure, so that the label obstructs the cavity; c) laying the label ( 4 ) onto the upper cloth ( 30 ) on a labelling area ( 3 b ) of the upper cloth, and fixing the label to the upper cloth; d) after step c), moving the label ( 4 ) and the labelling area ( 3 b ) of the upper cloth ( 30 ) by shifting the gripping element ( 21 ), maintaining in the cavity a pressure lower than an ambient pressure; e) after step d), increasing pressure in the cavity of the gripping element ( 21 ) until the label ( 4 ) gets off the gripping element, so that the labelling area ( 3 b ) of the upper cloth ( 30 ) reaches a firm position away from the respective labelling area ( 3 b ) of a cloth ( 31 ) lying directly below the upper cloth ( 30 ), so as to enable a subsequent application of a respective label ( 4 ) onto the respective labelling area ( 3 b ) of the cloth ( 31 ) lying directly below.
