Abstract

This invention relates to a radiation curable system for continuously applying a layer of a radiation curable adhesive, e.g., a UV curable adhesive, to plastic, sheet fed, cut and stack, labels, irradiating the adhesive on the labels to render the adhesive sufficiently tacky to effectively adhere the label to a container in a commercial labeling machine and thereafter applying the labels to discrete containers through the sufficiently tacky adhesive layer. The plastic labels can be clear, opaque (including metallized ) plastic films and can be retained in a dispensing magazine prior to the application of the radiation curable adhesive to the labels.
