LABELLING OR TAGGING MACHINES, APPARATUS, OR PROCESSES

Description

B65C covers machines, apparatus, and processes for applying labels or tags to objects, containers, or products during manufacturing or packaging operations. This includes mechanical, pneumatic, and automated systems for positioning, adhering, and securing labels to various substrates such as bottles, boxes, packages, and other industrial articles. The classification encompasses both the equipment design and the operational methods for label application, including adhesive-based labeling, pressure-sensitive systems, and tag attachment mechanisms. Related handling and positioning of labeled materials falls within adjacent B65 subclasses, while the manufacture of labels themselves is covered elsewhere in the B classification.
