Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung (1) zum Anbringen von Etiketten (18) auf Behältnissen (10). Nach einer erfindungsgemäßen Ausgestaltung wird dabei der Anbringungsvorgang der Etiketten an dem Behältnis mittels einer Lasereinheit (20) durchgeführt. Bei einer weiteren erfindungsgemäßen Ausgestaltung ist eine Schneideeinheit (2) für die Vorrichtung vorgesehen, welche ebenfalls einen Laser (46) einsetzt und welche wenigstens teilweise innerhalb einer Schneidwalze (42) angeordnet ist. Bei bevorzugten Ausgestaltungen wird der vollständige Anbringungsvorgang, d. h. insbesondere auch das Verbinden der Etikettenendabschnitte, mit Hilfe der Lasereinheit vorgenommen.
