An apparatus for applying heat transfer labels, disposed on a web, to containers. In one embodiment, the apparatus is in- tended for round, non-tapered containers and comprises a continuously rotating turret (13), a container transport system (15) for continuously delivering containers to and away from the turret (13) and a web transport system (17) for moving a web containing heat-transfer labels into position for label transferring. The turret (13) includes a rotatably driven shaft (19) and a plurality of cup assemblies (25) arranged in a circle around the shaft (19) and coupled thereto. Each cup assembly (25) includes a cup (29) used to hold a container, the cup being rotatably driven independently of the shaft (19) and in a required direction. A nozzle assembly (35) is associated with each cup assembly (25) and is used to secure a container within its respective cup (29) and, if necessary, to inflate the container to impart sufficient rigidity thereto for labelling.
