Abstract

A method of applying labels to flat objects transported along a conveying path includes determining the acceleration time from the starting time of a pressure and applicator drum as far as the peripheral speed corresponding to the defined, average transport speed of the objects at a circumferential region accommodating the labels and measuring the times at which the front edge of the respective object passes two sensor devices located one after another in the transport path before the pressure and applicator drum and determining the starting time of the pressure and applicator drum in accordance with a mathematical relationship.
