An object of the invention is to having a pair of tie bars associated therewith for opening and closing the mold, can feed into the mold cavity labels larger than conventional labels, can also feed labels to various molds having different sizes and different heights, and which is also arranged such that the label-attachment locations and the position of labels relative to a mold can be changed when the labels are attached. To achieve this object, the label feeder has a base frame whose height is adjustable relative to the floor on which it is mounted, a generally rod-shaped loader swingably mounted on the base frame, a longitudinally expandable expansion element adjustably mounted on the loader, on arm mechanism mounted on the front end of the expansion element and having a front end structure which can be laterally opened and closed, a label sucking device attached to the front end of the arm mechanism, and a parallel linkage connecting device for feeding the labels in a parallel manner with respect to parting surfaces of the mold when the arm mechanism is laterally opened and closed.
