Abstract: A transfer device with unrolling device, intended for providing a label handling system in an IML machine (In Mould Labelling) with IML labels. The transfer device comprises at least four holders, which are movable between a first and a second position, wherein the first position has a first predetermined relationship between the four or several holders regarding the distance in the X-direction. The holders are intended for retrieval of IML labels from the unrolling device, which comprises a label web, the length of which extends in the Y-direction, with partially stamped out labels, connected to the web with micro connections. The second position has a second predetermined relationship between the four or several holders regarding distance in the X-direction. The holders are intended to deliver the IML labels to the label handling system.

Abstract: A label picking apparatus includes an anvil having a cavity and a picking element. A support surface surrounding the cavity and a picking surface of the picking element are respectively connectable to an under pressure source for respectively holding a web of material to the support surface and pre-cut label to the picking surface, the pre-cut label attached with the web of material with micro material bridges. The picking surface moveable into the cavity to release the label from the web. The picking surface has an inner surface and an outer surface. The outer surface is formed from ends of protrusions that each extend from the inner surface, the protrusions of the picking surface made from high-friction material.
