Abstract
A device for applying an adhesive label to a disk such as a CD or DVD includes a platen and a central hub rising from the platen. The label is centered about the hub on the platen. The hub has three deformable legs that are biased outwardly and that are deformed inwardly when a disk is slid down the hub against the label, with the label adhering to the disk on contact. The disk can then be slid back up the hub to remove the disk with label. Centering structure is provided for engaging the label to hold the label centered about the hub until the disk abuts the label.
