Abstract: An elongated object label applicator has a driver (54) operably connected to a wrapping mechanism (18). The wrapping mechanism has a plurality of guide rollers (66) spaced about a central portion (70). A belt (62) is tensioned around the guide rollers and across an opening in the central portion through which an object to labeled (82) is received. The belt is deflectable against an elastic force such that the belt can be recessed with the central portion by a force provided by the object to be labeled. The wrapping mechanism is driven by the driver to rotate the guide rollers about an axis of rotation of the wrapping mechanism passing through the central portion. The wrapping mechanism orbits the object to be labeled located within the central portion.
