Abstract

The invention relates to a labeling device (10) for a thermoforming system (100) comprising: a supply device (11) for at least one label reel (12) having a plurality of labels (1); a first cutting device (26) for separating each label (1) from the at least one label reel (12); a preferably drum-like transfer device (45) for transferring each label (1) separated from the at least one label reel (12) to a mold (102, 103) of a molding tool (101) for producing a container (80), wherein the molding tool (101) comprises several molds (102, 103), and wherein all containers (80) can be produced in the respective molds (102, 103) in one manufacturing cycle by the molding tool (101). According to the invention, the first cutting device (26) is assigned to multiple molds (102, 103) of the molding tool (101) and a label feed device (35) is provided, said device feeding each label (1) separated from the at least one label reel (12) by the cutting device (26) to the transfer devices (45) of the molds (102, 103).
