Abstract
A method and apparatus for automatically tagging selected layers of multi-layered articles by the operation of a single switch that initiates the sequential stepped operation of a clamp for holding the selected layers in a tagging position while a tag is fed and tacked, as by a bar tack, to join the tag to the selected layers. When the tagging sequence is completed, the article is removed from the apparatus, thereby separating the joined bar tack and tag from the apparatus for similar subsequent automatic repetitive operations.
