Abstract
In a labeling machine including means for supplying labels to a pickup element supplied with adhesive, which element transfers the labels to a gripping cylinder, the improvement wherein such pickup element has a smooth convex take-up surface composed of a plurality of first areas spaced form one another by second areas, the first areas exhibiting good adhesion properties and the second areas being relatively non-adherent, whereby when an adhesive is applied to said surface it lays substantially exclusively on the good adhering areas while leaving the non-adherent areas substantially free of adhesive, whereby less adhesive is required. The adherent areas may be metal and the non-adherent areas polytetrafluoroethylene provided in recesses in the metal, the non-adherent areas being in the form of circles or stripes.
