Abstract: A label applicator device for use with a printer or combination printer/cutting device for applying a printed label to an object. The device comprises a mounting plate for mechanically connecting the device to the printer or combination printer/cutting device, a positioning arm, an adjusting element, and a tamping plate attached to the adjusting element. The positioning arm movably retains the adjusting element to control the depth that the tamping plate moves when applying a label exiting the printer or combination printer/cutting device to a product. The device further comprises an electronic interface port for electrically communicating with the printer or combination printer/cutting device. Alternatively, a printer or a combination printer/cutting device may be directly integrated into the label applicator device. The label applicator device is adaptable for use with both new and existing printers and cutting devices.
