6. The system as recited in claim 5, further comprising a roll supply for feeding a web of the sheet media, the roll supply being a part of the feeder.
7. The system as recited in claim 5, wherein the activator blade extends across at least half of a widthwise direction of the sheet media.
8. The system as recited in claim 1, wherein the activator blade extends across at least half of a widthwise direction of the sheet media.
9. The system as recited in claim 1, wherein the activator blade extends across a majority of a width of the sheet media.
10. The system as recited in claim 1, wherein an edge of the activator blade is generally flat and linear and wherein the edge of the activator blade engages at least half of a width of the sheet media.
11. The system as recited in claim 1, wherein the blade is at a fixed angle relative to the travel path.
12. The system as recited in claim 11, wherein the fixed angle is an acute angle between the activator blade and an upstream position of the sheet media.
13. The system as recited in claim 1, further comprising:
a cutter for cutting the sheet media; and a label applicator, the label applicator being downstream from the cutter.
14. The system as recited in claim 4, further comprising a printer for placing indicia on the sheet material, the activator blade being located between the printer and the cutter.
15. The system as recited in claim 1, further comprising a printer, the printer being located downstream of the activator blade and being adjacent to the travel path.
16. The system as recited in claim 1, further comprising a printer, the printer being located upstream of the activator blade and being adjacent to the travel path.
17. The system as recited in claim 1, wherein the activation device is at least one crushing roller for rupturing and thereby releasing the encapsulated media.
18. The system as recited in claim 1, wherein the activator blade extends across at least half of a widthwise direction of the sheet media and wherein the activator blade is at a fixed angle relative to the travel path.
19. The system as recited in claim 1, wherein the feeder moves the sheet media along a travel path, the at least one crushing roller being located on one side of the travel path and the activator blade being located on an opposed side of the travel path.
20. The system as recited in claim 19, wherein at least one crushing roller includes a pair of crushing rollers on opposed sides of the travel path, a crushing nip being formed between the pair of crushing rollers.
21. The system as recited in claim 20, further comprising a printer, the printer being located downstream of the crushing nip.
22. The system as recited in claim 17, wherein the at least one crushing roller includes a pair of crushing rollers, the feeder moves the sheet media along a travel path and the pair of crushing rollers being located on opposed sides of the travel path, a crushing nip being formed between the pair of crushing rollers.
23. The system as recited in claim 17, further comprising a printer, the printer being located upstream of the at least one crushing roller.
24. The system as recited in claim 17, further comprising a printer, the printer being located downstream of the at least one crushing roller.
25. The system as recited in claim 17, further comprising:
a cutter for cutting the sheet media; and a label applicator, the label applicator being downstream from the cutter.
26. The system as recited in claim 17, wherein the at least one crushing roller is a single roller which engages the sheet media as the sheet media is moved along the travel path.
27. The system as recited in claim 17, wherein the at least one crushing roller includes a plurality of roller positioned on a rotatable axle, the rollers being engageable with the sheet media when the axle is rotated.
28. The system as recited in claim 27, wherein the plurality of rollers are movable relative to the axle and wherein the rollers non-simultaneously contact the sheet media whereby different portions of the sheet media in a widthwise direction thereof are engaged by the rollers.
29. The system as recited in claim 28, wherein the plurality of rollers move to a rest position when rotation of the axle stops, gravity moving the rollers to the rest position upon stopping of the axle.
30. The system as recited in claim 29, wherein feeder moves the sheet media along a travel path and wherein the axle is stationary relative to the travel path when the rollers move to the rest position.
31. The system as recited in claim 27, wherein at least two sets of crushing rollers are provided, one of the sets being located downstream from the other set.
32. The system as recited in claim 31, wherein each of the at least two sets have a plurality of crushing rollers and an axle, the crushing rollers being rotatable about and movable relative to the axle for the set.
33. The system as recited in claim 27, further comprising a plurality of spacers, the spacers being located between the rollers.
34. The system as recited in claim 33, wherein at least some of the rollers have flared edges which overlie an adjacent spacer.
