Description

technical field [0001] The invention according to the preambles of claims 1 and 15 relates to a labeling machine for labeling PET containers and a method for attaching handles to PET containers. Background technique [0002] To facilitate the handling of PET containers or PET bottles by the end consumer, handles or handles are mounted on some bottles. There are already several possibilities here: [0003] After closing via the closure, a separate machine is used to squeeze the handle and thus fix it on the bottle. [0004] It is also possible to blow the bottle using a special process whereby two curved depressions are formed in the bottle. After filling and labelling, the handle is snapped into the recess using a separate machine. [0005] Furthermore, there is the possibility that the handle or handle is inserted into the blow mold in the stretch blow molding machine before blowing. The container or bottle is then formed around the handle. [0006] All these known met...
