1. A labeling device for a syringe, comprising:
- a first labeling subsystem adapted to print a first label comprising machine readable information; and
a second labeling subsystem adapted to print a second label comprising human readable information,wherein the first labeling subsystem includes a label applicator adapted to automatically apply the first label to a portion of the syringe,wherein the label applicator is adapted to hold the first label position as the syringe is rotated about its cylindrical axis during the automatic application of the first label to the syringe, and wherein the second labeling subsystem automatically applies the second label to another portion of the syringe simultaneously with the first labeling subsystem automatically applying the first label to the portion of the syringe.
