Abstract
A hand-held labelling apparatus for printing, dispensing and applying self-adhering labels, having a housing provided with a handle and having two side walls consisting of sheet metal and held in spaced relation. Each side wall of the said housing comprises two parallel and free edges which are opposite one another. Casing or sheathing walls consisting of synthetic plastics are capable of being pushed over the outsides of each side wall. The said casing walls comprise flanges which engage over the free edges of the side walls.
