Abstract

An incorrect label removal system is disclosed for removing unwanted labels from a web of labels in a labeling machine. The incorrect label removal system includes a label peel assembly positioned between two fixed points along the direction of travel of the web of labels. The label peel assembly provides a first orientation in which labels remain on the web as the web passes the label peel assembly, and selectively provides a second orientation in which labels are removed from the web. The label peel assembly provides that a length of the web between the two fixed points is substantially the same when the label peel assembly is in each of the first orientation and the second orientation.
