Abstract: A transfer device (10) for an IML process for transporting and inserting a label (8) into an annular gap-shaped mold cavity (9) of a multi-part injection molding tool (1), in particular for manufacturing of tubes or other containers of circular, oval, square or other shaped cross-section. This device (10) comprises at least one transfer tube (13) with a suitably shaped annular gap (21) for receiving and transferring a label (8), wherein the annular gap (21) is formed by an inner core tube (22) and an outer tubular shell (23). Ejection means are provided within the annular gap (21) to enable inserting of a label, which is lying therein, into the mold cavity (9). This ejection means may comprise an air pressure wave or at least a displaceably arranged ejector member (24).
