Abstract

The invention relates to a labeling machine for wet adhesive labels comprising a gluing and application device which holds and guides the labels. A label magazine is connected upstream from the gluing and application device to which labels are fed from said label magazine. During the processing of multiple labels, the label magazine is configured as a support platform with a support wall that extends over the entire length of the platform, and transporting means for transporting the labels are provided above the support platform in the vicinity of the support wall. Said transporting means transfer the detached label to a label conveyor arranged above the support wall, and a conveyor platform is provided on the label conveyor. The label is conveyed, in a conveying direction of the label conveyor, on said conveyor platform up to a specified position, and is then conveyed, perpendicular to the conveying direction of the label conveyor, to the feed position of the gluing and application station or to the feed side of the label shaft.
