Problems solved by technology

The disadvantage of this approach is that, in the case of a digital printing system being used on a labeling unit or labeling machine, when the roll of the unit is changed, the latter has to slow itself down in order to reach the capacity of the new label roll. The purpose of firm adhesion of the opening to the opening of the original label roll
This results in a considerable loss of device efficiency, which also depends on the operating performance of the device
In addition, the assembly procedure is difficult because the printing system is located inside the labeling unit and is difficult to reach
This has been extremely problematic until now, especially in the case of printing units

Embodiment Construction

[0033] figure 1 is a very schematic diagram of an apparatus 1 for labeling containers according to the invention. This device 1 has a storage unit 2 for label material 10 in which eg a plurality of label rolls are arranged, from which label material 10 can be unwound.

[0034] After this storage unit 2 , the label stock reaches the printing unit 6 in the transport direction T to the left and is transported via the printing unit 6 . In this case, this printing device 6 has printing elements, such as inkjet printing elements 16 , for example. After this printing element, there is provided a drying device 7 which dries the label material or the print applied thereto, respectively. In this case, such drying can be achieved with UV light, for example. In addition, checking means 9 are provided for checking to see if the imprint is correctly applied to the label material 10 . Furthermore, it is also possible for the printing unit 6 or even a further printing unit to attach marki...

Abstract

The invention relates to an apparatus (1) for labeling containers, comprising a storage unit (2), in which a supply of labeling material (10) is accommodated, a labeling device (8) which is disposed in the transport direction (T) of the labels and attaches the labeling material (10) onto the containers, and a print device (6), which provides the labeling material (10) with an imprint. According to the invention, the print device (6) is disposed in the transport direction (T) of the labeling material (10) between the storage unit (2) and the labeling device (8) and is positioned in the transport direction (T) of the labeling material (10) at a distance from the labeling device (8).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device for labeling containers. Background technique [0002] Devices of this type are already known from the prior art. In this case, the label is applied to the outer periphery of the container, eg in the form of a self-adhesive label, or even by means of an adhesive. According to the prior art, it is commonplace for these labels to be unrolled from a label roll in already printed form and to be applied to containers after having been printed. Recently, however, there has been a rising trend to first apply the unprinted label to the container, and only then to print on the container. Thus, WO 99 / 08935 describes a method of attaching objects to containers. In this example, different objects are successively glued to the container. [0003] DE 10 2006 001 223 A1 describes a device for printing on bottles or similar containers. In this example, a printhead is used which employs a xerographic printhead with a plurality of ...
