This invention relates to a labeling system for continuously applying a layer of a UV curable adhesive to plastic, sheet fed, cut and stack, labels, irradiating the adhesive on the labels to render the adhesive sufficiently tacky to effectively adhere the labels to containers in a commercial labeling machine and thereafter applying the labels to discrete containers through the sufficiently tacky adhesive layer. The plastic labels can be clear, opaque (including metallized) plastic films and can be retained in a dispensing magazine prior to the application of the UV curable adhesive to the labels.

A method of correcting defects in a label resulting from a non-uniform application of adhesive to a surface of the label prior to applying the label to a container includes the steps of applying an adhesive to a surface of a label in a non-uniform manner to cause sections of the surface to be substantially devoid of the adhesive, and after applying the adhesive, applying a fluid in these latter sections to substantially fill them. The fluid is applied either onto the container in regions that are aligned with the label sections that are devoid of adhesive, or is applied directly onto the adhesive-free label sections. An apparatus for carrying out the above method also forms a part of the present invention.

A labeling apparatus and method for continuously applying a layer of a radiation curable adhesives to plastic, sheet fed, cut and stack, labels, irradiating the adhesive on the labels, prior to and/or subsequent to adhering the labels to containers, e. g. , a bottle, to render the adhesive sufficiently tacky to effectively permanently seal the labels to containers in a commercial labeling machine. The plastic labels can be clear, opaque (including metallized) plastic films and can be retained in a dispensing magazine prior to the application of the radiation curable adhesive to the labels.
