1. A method of making a pad of labels comprising: printing display information on a top surface of a substrate; loading the substrate into a friction feeder; transporting the substrate along a registration-and-transport table; adjusting the speed of transporting the substrate along the registration and transport table in response to the sensors detecting the location of the leading edge of the substrate, in order to ensure the substrate has proper registration as it enters a first nip roller station; entering the substrate into a web of material created at the first nip roller station; maintaining a tension in the web of material through use of a tensioning station; controlling the orientation of the web of material, including the substrate suspended within the web of material, through use of a web control guide; applying at least one adhesive strip to a bottom surface of the first layer of lamination material; cutting the web of material into at least one label; transporting the at least one label to a stacking station; and arranging the labels into a pad of labels; wherein the printing, cutting, and arranging steps are controlled with reference to a store's planogram, such that the labels within the pad of labels are sequenced according to a store's planogram.
