An in-mold label dispenser (20) for use with a multiple cavity mold (28) of a plastic blow molding machine (22) includes dispensing heads (54) adjustably supported on a movable shuttle (52) to permit adjustment of the location of label positioning within the molds. An adjustable support assembly (58) supports the dispensing heads (54) with respect to each other, and a drive mechanism (70) drives the shuttle and label carriers (56) of the dispensing heads to provide the in-mold labeling operation. The drive mechanism (70) includes first and second drives (80,84) that respectively drive the shuttle (52) and the label carriers (56).
