Claim One:
1. Continuous motion label transferring apparatus comprising: a label unwinder, the label unwinder continuously passing a first web along a path towards a pinch point, the first web having a series of spaced labels on a liner of release material, the labels having an adhesive surface to which the liner is releasably attached, a peel bar, along the path of the first web, at a selected distance from the pinch point, the release liner traveling around a peel point on the peel bar, the labels continuing to move toward the pinch point as the web passes the peel point; a target mover, the target mover passing a succession of equally spaced targets on a second web through the pinch point adjacent the surface of the labels, so that the labels are individually adhered to the targets in the pinch point; a control system for the label unwinder, the control system monitoring the target mover and synchronizing the labels to the targets in a continuous manner; wherein the distance between the peel point and the pinch point is such that the labels can be fed continuously into the pinch point in registration with the targets, irrespective of the relative speeds of the labels and targets; and a nonstick surface between the peel point and the pinch point, the adhesive surface of the labels passing directly over the nonstick surface; wherein the nonstick surface is a plate.
