Abstract
A method of producing blocks of self-adhesive labels or the like involves feeding continuously to a cutting device a continuous label stock which on one face has a number of repeated images overlaid by a release coating and on the other face has a pressure-sensitive adhesive coating. In the cutting device a succession of sheets, each having more than one image, is cut from the stock and the sheets are formed into a stack of superimposed cut sheets, either simultaneously with the cutting or in a subsequent step. Finally, a number of blocks of superimposed labels or the like, each having a single image, are cut from the stack of sheets. Various methods of applying the labels from the blocks to cylindrical or non-cylindrical bodies are given.
