An apparatus automatically places postcard backings on rolls of developed photo stock. The backings are formed from a roll of bulk label stock such as that sold under the trade name AVERY. The label stock comes with an adhesive layer on its back side, which adhesive is covered by a removable backing sheet. Preferably, indicia have previously been printed on the front side of the label at regular intervals thereon, the size of the intervals corresponding to the size to which the photo postcards will be cut. The two rolls are fed to traction rollers and past a manual calibration register. The backing then is peeled off of the label stock by an automatic peeling-blade which is inserted between the adhesive and the backing. After that, the two lines of feed are led to a laminating press, where they are pressed together and permanently mated by mutual contact with the adhesive layer. The next stage is a cutter which cuts the photo/label combination at the intersections of individual photos. The result is postcards, i.e. stiffened sheets each having a graphic side and a side pre-divided by printed indicia into text, address and stamp areas.
