A feeder for advancing a label strip in increments equal to one label width or multiple thereof to a knife mechanism where the strip is cut into individual labels. The feeder includes a reciprocal driver adapted on the forward stroke thereof to engage the label strip and advance the strip one increment, the strip having successive perforations for this purpose. A one-way brake to prevent movement of the strip on the return stroke of the drive is provided. The driver rides in a track which is both movable and tiltable to accommodate various strip materials and thicknesses. An adjustable cover spaced opposite the driver permits further adjustment for changed strip materials and thicknesses while enabling the driver during the feed stroke to arch the strip and discourage buckling of the strip.
