A label applicator prints and affixes a pressure-sensitive label onto envelopes, packages, or mail pieces — an alternative to inkjet address printing when your artwork, barcode, or compliance needs call for a label instead of direct print. All For Mailers stocks Accufast label applicators, including current production models and the occasional demo unit. Every machine ships nationwide with phone support to help you decide whether labeling or direct addressing fits your job. Below the machines: our plain-English guide to choosing a label applicator, and answers to the questions we hear most.

The Accufast XLR is a tabletop roll-fed label applicator that applies up to 15,000 labels per hour face-up, with a sliding head for precise positioning on the fly. Discontinued and no longer supported new — supplies and parts still available through All For Mailers.
The Accufast XL Labeler is a versatile tabletop label applicator, stamp affixer and tabber that applies to pieces 5″–16″ wide at up to 15,000 per hour — though Accufast has closed and parts are now scarce.
About the Accufast VL The Accufast VL is a labeler built in two parts: a base that carries the material past the labeling head, with feeder control integrated into the base, and a head that holds the label supply. It runs fan-fold or roll labels, and Accufast published it as suited to 3M Post-it Notes….
About the Accufast PMX System The PMX was not a single machine but a configurable Accufast printing system, sold through a virtual configurator that let a buyer build the line module by module. Accufast published the configurator itself rather than a specification sheet for the system as a whole, so what follows is an identification…
The first question is whether you need a label at all. Direct inkjet or thermal addressing prints straight onto the envelope and is usually faster and less expensive per piece. A label applicator makes more sense when you're applying pre-printed labels — barcodes, variable graphics, or labels produced on a separate printer — onto envelopes, packages, or odd-shaped pieces a direct printer can't handle.
Once labeling is the right approach, the deciding spec is label size and application speed. Match the applicator's label-width capacity to your largest label, and check its rated speed against your daily volume — running a machine near its top rated speed on every job shortens its service life.
Also confirm what surfaces the machine is built to label. Flat envelopes are the easiest case; boxes, tubes, and irregular packages need a machine and label-placement setup designed for that shape.
We stock Accufast label applicators, including the PMX printing system and the VL and XL/XLR labeler lines.
Should I label or print directly on the envelope?
Direct printing is usually faster and cheaper per piece for standard envelopes. Labeling makes sense when you're applying barcodes, pre-printed graphics, or labeling packages and shapes a direct printer can't handle. Tell us your piece and we'll give you an honest answer.
Can a label applicator print the label itself?
Some models, like the Accufast PMX, print and apply in one pass. Others apply labels printed separately. Which setup you need depends on your workflow — call us and we'll walk through it.
What label sizes can these machines handle?
It varies by model. Give us your label dimensions and we'll confirm which machine fits before you buy.
Is a demo unit a good option?
A demo unit has typically run a limited number of pieces and can be a solid choice if it fits your volume. Ask us about current availability and condition.
