Labeller and method for agricultural bale press

A device for attaching a label for identifying a bale to an elongate flexible object,

• the device comprising:
• a store for storing labels, wherein the labels have an edge and are provided with a first opening and a second opening on the edge of the label, such that an edge of the first opening and the second opening coincides with a part of the edge of the label, and wherein the first opening and the second opening are adapted to attach the label to the elongate flexible object, wherein the first opening is laterally spaced from second opening, and wherein the labels are bendable and adapted to clamp the elongate flexible object in the first opening and the second opening under bending stress of the label;
• an attachment actuator comprising fingers and/or guides adapted to bend the label so that the label can be pushed over the elongate flexible object, and wherein the attachment actuator is configured to bend the label with the fingers and/or guides and push the label in a direction toward the elongate flexible object, over the elongate flexible object or push the elongate flexible object, in a direction toward the label, into the label, to attach the label to the elongate flexible object in such a way that the first opening and the second opening come into contact with the elongate flexible object, such that, when the label has been attached to the elongate flexible object via the first opening and the second opening, the label remains tensioned, under the bending stress of the label, thereby clamping the elongate flexible object in the first opening and the second opening.
