A method for punching and applying a sticker to an article comprises die-punching an assembly formed by a strip with an adhesive layer and release liner. The sticker formed during the die-punching step is received inside the die and then displaced from it by an intermediate ejector punch so that it is applied directly to the article. During this step the movable tool is retracted to allow the article to enter. An independent claim is also included for the punch/application apparatus.
