Abstract: A label applicator pad is included in a labeling system to press a label against the surface of an article. According to some aspects, a label applicator pad includes a pad body having a support portion and a contact portion having a textured working surface. The support may have a compliance that is higher than a compliance of the contact portion. According to other aspects, the textured working surface may have a contact area that physically contacts a label and a void portion adjacent the contact portion, and the void portion does not contact the label. The textured working area may include contact portion having a contact area that is less than a total area of the working area.
