LABELING APPARATUS

A labeling apparatus (1), comprising at least one assembly for feeding (2) a film (10) carrying a plurality of labels (11) and at least one assembly for applying the labels (11) obtained from the film (10); the labeling apparatus (1) having at least one assembly for advancing (20) the film (10) from the assembly for feeding (2) to the assembly for applying; along the assembly for advancing (20) and between the assembly for feeding (2) and the assembly for applying, there being at least one device for digitally printing (30) at least one portion (11a) of at least one of the labels (11); the labeling apparatus (1) comprising at least one device for controlling the assembly for advancing (20) and the device for digitally printing (30), which is adapted to control the feeding of the film (10) to the device for digitally printing (30) between at least one first condition in which the film (10) is fed at a first speed value, lower than or equal to a speed v1, to the device for digitally printing (30) and in which the device for digitally printing (30) is activated in order to carry out the printing of the portion (11 a) of label (11), and at least one second condition in which the film (10) is fed at a second speed value, greater than the speed v1, to the device for printing (30) and in which the device for digitally printing (30) is deactivated.
