labeling machine

A labeling machine is a type of machine used to apply labels to packaging or products. In addition to applying labels, some labeling machines are capable of producing them. A label printer is a computer printer that prints on self-adhesive label material and/or card-stock (tags). A label printer with built-in keyboard and display for stand-alone use (not connected to a separate computer) is often called a label maker. It has a drive wheel, a labeling wheel and a reel. The drive wheel intermittently drags the label strip movement such that the label strip is pulled out of the spool while the label strip is pressed against the article by the labeler wheel.
