Abstract:
An apparatus for automatically applying a pressure-sensitive tab to the edge of a mailer which includes a feed spool of pressure-sensitive tape. The pressure-sensitive tape is fed through a tape slot of a tape guide block from where it is wound upon a driven windup spool. A pneumatically driven (or, if desired, solenoid driven) punch and die arrangement is positioned so that upon actuation, the die cuts a circular segment of the tape and wiper arms apply the circular cut tape segment to the edges of a mailer. This can be done while the edges of the mailer are stationary or moving parallel to the direction of the tape.
