An adhesive applicator for a labeling machine. It consists of an adhesive roller, especially one with a resilient surface, of an adhesive-supply mechanism, of an adhesive doctor positioned behind the supply mechanism in relation to the direction that the roller rotates in, and of a label getter with an adhesive-pickup surface that is in particular rigid and that rolls over the surface of the adhesive roller. To decrease the risk of damage to the adhesive roller due to defective labels adhering to the adhesive-pickup surface, the surface of the adhesive roller is a friction surface that removes, at least to some extent mechanically, defective labels that get jammed up upstream of the adhesive doctor and/or the adhesiveness of the surface of the adhesive roller is established in relation to the adhesiveness of the adhesive-pickup surface of the label getter to the extent that defective labels on the adhesive-pickup surface will remain on that surface when the label getter rolls over the surface of the adhesive roller.
