An apparatus and associated method for applying labels having a pressure sensitive adhesive on at least one face to articles. The label applicator includes a supporting structure supporting a label dispenser having a peeler bar and a label receiver. The label dispenser is adapted to remove labels from a backing strip and transfer the labels to the label receiver. The peeler bar is configured with an integral heater to heat each label as the label is passed over the peeler bar. A hot gas dispenser is attached to the label dispenser and is used to dispense a flow of heated air against the label to soften the adhesive on each label as the label is passed from the label dispenser to the label receiver. The label receiver is adapted to releasably retain the label and transfer the label onto a surface on the article. |
