Abstract

In order to save time and labor when reloading the label magazine of a labeling machine, a relatively large number of labels, such as 3000 to 8000, are piled into a stack, and binding means running along relatively opposite longitudinal sides of the stack and across its opposite end faces are applied to the stack so as to stabilize it. The binding means consists of adhesive tape or of a band of stretchable synthetic material, with or without a low backing trough of cardboard along one side of the stack. The binding means is removed after the unitary label package has been inserted into the magazine of the labeling machine.
