14. A method for dispensing labels from at least one label roll, the method comprising:
providing a label dispenser mounted on a support bar and configured to facilitate a user to dispense the labels from the at least one label roll, the at least one label roll including a backing substrate and peelable labels detachably attached to the backing substrate, the label dispenser comprising:
a label roll support arm configured to support at least one label roll thereon, the label roll support arm including:
a hollow interior configured to permit a horizontal portion of the support bar to pass therethrough; and
a notch configured to permit an inclined distal portion of the support bar to pass therethrough; and

a label guide arm including an edge configured to facilitate separation of a leading peelable label of the at least one label roll from an outward-facing surface of the backing substrate at the leading portion of the backing substrate of the at least one label roll; and
a side wall interconnecting the label roll support arm and the label guide arm, the side wall including a gap that permits a vertical portion of the support bar to pass therethrough;

in response to a force applied by the user to the leading portion of the backing substrate of the at least one label roll to pull the leading portion of the backing substrate of the at least one label roll through the at least one opening of the label guide arm, separating, by the edge, the leading peelable label of the at least one label roll from the outward-facing surface of the backing substrate at the leading portion of the backing substrate of the at least one label roll.
