Label dispenser
open-in-new
<p>Label dispenser and label applicator are machine built to simplify the process of removing a <a href="/facts/Label/7bducQe4">label</a> from its liner or backing tape. Some are bench-top for dispensing the labels while others include the application of the label to the item (such as a package). Unlike <a href="/facts/Label_printer_applicator/ffoS4HkS">label printer applicators</a>, they dispense preprinted labels. </p><p>Label dispensers are generally intended to dispense a label to an operator who manually applies the label to the package. They are designed with varying sizes and features which are often specific to the type of label they can dispense and to the degree of automation desired. </p><p>Label applicators are usually part of a larger packaging line. They receive the package from a previous automation stage, apply the label, and feed the package to the next stage in the packaging line. </p>
