Embodiment Construction

[0007]Label application devices and methods are described herein. For example, in one or more embodiments of the present disclosure a label application device can comprise a feed component configured to deliver a sheet of label material to a position, a product identification component configured to identify a type of a product that is approaching the position, a printing component configured to print data onto the sheet of label material, the data based on the identified type of the product, a stripping component configured to remove a liner portion of the sheet of label material from a label portion of the sheet, and an applicator component configured to apply the label portion to the product.

[0008]Previous approaches to a label application device transfer label material comprised of a plurality of individual labels (e.g., label portion of the label material to be applied to a product) tacked on a continuous backing strip (e.g., liner portion of the label material) through a label...

Abstract

Label application devices and methods of printing and applying labels are described herein. One label application device can comprise a feed component configured to deliver a sheet of label material to a position, a product identification component configured to identify a type of a product that is approaching the position, a printing component configured to print data onto the sheet of label material, the data based on the identified type of product, a stripping component configured to remove a liner portion of the sheet of label material from a label portion of the sheet, and an applicator component configured to apply the label portion to the product.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE[0001]Labels can include a piece of material that can be affixed to a product and can have printed data on the material. For instance, labels can be used to identify various types of products based on the data printed on the label. In some instances, labels can include a logo that identifies the source of a product and a type of the product. Sometimes a label can include a serial number and / or other identifier (e.g., bar code and radio-frequency identification) to identify the product while it is being manufactured (e.g., product identification label). The serial number and / or other identifier can be scanned during various stages of manufacture, including a stage to apply a label for customer identification (e.g., a label that is intended to identify the product for customers).[0002]Label application devices can be used to automatically print and apply label material to products. Automatically printing and applying can refer to printing and applying label...
