Abstract
A split labeling apparatus and method for cutting and transferring pairs of individual labels from a double label web in preparation for separate, simultaneous application to product surfaces. The double label web is provided in roll form, is advanced through divider means for splitting the web into like longitudinal strips, and on to a cut-off means where a pair of individual labels are simultaneously removed, one from each strip. The cut-off means includes a cutting blade which prevents the strips from twisting. Each pair of cut labels is transferred from the cutting location by a pair of label separators which spread the labels apart during transfer. A second, simultaneously operating, anti-twist cutting blade is included to remove any periodically occurring scrap section from the web.
