Provided is a platen 18 opening mechanism in a portable labeling machine capable of simultaneously opening the platen 18 through a single operation of opening a bottom cover 23, to thereby enable an operator unfamiliar to the use thereof to easily form an insertion passage 25 for a label 3. It is focused on that the platen 18 is opened from a side plate 31 in interlock with an operation of opening a bottom cover 23 from the side plate 31. The platen 18 opening mechanism in a portable labeling machine includes the side plate 31 having the bottom cover 23 disposed in a pivotally openable manner; and the platen 18 enabling the label 3 drawn out as a strip from a retaining portion 32 to be transferred onto a top surface thereof; the label 3 being attachable to a member to be attached with, the platen 18 being pivotable to a closed position and an open position relative to the side plate 31 to allow the label 3 to be loaded thereinto, wherein the platen 18 is put in an open state relative to the side plate 31 in accompaniment with an operation of opening the bottom cover 23 from the side plate.
