A tax stamping machine for applying heat activated tax decals to the bottom of packs of cigarettes in cartons utilizes an adjustable carton guide channel having an offset section and a heated stamp bar having a plurality of selectable patterns of heated platens. The cigarette carton guide channel is adjustable in both width and depth so that various sizes of cigarette packs in cartons can be handled. A carton stop bar and reset latch assembly are used to halt the travel of hand fed cartons along the guide channel while tax stamps or decals are applied to the packs within the cartons. Webs of stamps or decals, having configurations corresponding to the various patterns of heated platens on a vertically reciprocable stamp bar, are placed in the stamp carriage assembly, and are used in conjunction with the properly patterned platen of the stamp bar to effect placement of the heat activated decals on the bottom surface of the cigarette packs in the various non-standard carton configurations with which the tax stamping machine is intended to operate.
