Abstract

A labeling system may include a labeling device which applies labels to objects, for example, containers, and a loading device which is arranged upstream of this labeling device and which supplies the labeling device with labels The loading device may comprise a transport device which transports a second label strip and comprises at least two carriers for first label strips wound onto label rolls The carriers may be arranged next to one another on holding devices. A joining unit may be provided which can be displaced between the carriers in a first movement direction and which joins sections of the first label strips, which are arranged on the carriers, to sections of the second label strips, which are guided in the transport device.
