The apparatus includes at least one support unit and at least one tag supplying unit. The tag supplying unit includes a tag hopper and a tag conveyor and is mounted for multidirectional adjustive movement upon the support unit and relative to the needle of a fastener dispenser mounted at a fixed location upon the support unit. The apparatus may include a second tag supplying unit that is similarly mounted upon the support unit and is usable in association with the first tag supplying unit when a plurality of tags are to be secured to an article. When both tag supplying units are not needed, one may be removed from the support unit and mounted upon a second support unit to provide two separate tagging stations. The tag conveying means of each tag supplying means includes a suction head that is movable between the tag supply hopper and the dispenser needle along a sinuous path having an arcuate section extending downwardly and forwardly from the hopper, and another section extending substantially parallel to the dispenser needle.
