Abstract
Labels are supplied in groups to a labelling station with the labels of each group being arranged in a row. The labels are releasably retained at the labelling station. The articles to be labelled are moved through the labelling station with the row of labels at the labelling station extending in the same direction as the direction of article movement. Each of the labels is transferred to an associated article as the articles are moved through the labelling station. The labels are sequentially transferred with the most downstream label always being the next label to be transferred.
