ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE There is disclosed a new system of pressure sensitive labels mounted along a carrier strip, and means for removing these labels from the carrier strip and applying them to a product. The label carrier strip is divided down its middle forming separable halves. The strip carries spaced index marks and labels which are mounted over both halves and positioned uniformly with respect to the index marks. In some embodiments of the strip and label arrangement, each label has a face carrying a releasable adhesive secured to the carrier and a matrix of the same composition as the labels lies on the carrier strip, surrounding the labels. With this arrangement, the label-carrying web need not have had its waste (matrix) removed from between and around the labels during manufacture. An apparatus for transferring such a label from the carri- er strip to an article comprises a bellows support and a bellows with an inner portion mounted on the support. The bellows is extendable and contractable to move an end face of the bellows away from and towards the support. Means are provided for supplying a label at the end face of the bellows when the bellows is contracted. Pressure and vacuum may alternatively be applied to the bellows to contract and expand it, enabling the end face to be thrust toward the article to be labelled. A check valve may be used to couple the end face of the bellows to its interior, to permit inwards air flow only.
