A device for feeding packs of slips, such as labels (so-called blanks) or the like, in particular into cigarette packaging machines, comprises: a feed hopper (1) which can accommodate at least one pack (P) of labels which is oriented substantially vertically, means (2, 7, 11) for feeding packs (P) of slips to the hopper, preferably from the top, and means for collecting the slips one after another from the base of the hopper. According to the invention there is provided at least one store (2, 2') for a plurality of packs (P) of slips, which takes the packs (P) one after another to a collection station in which the packs (P) are oriented identically to the packs (P) in the feed hopper (1), and are aligned with the latter in the same vertical plane, whereas means (7, 11) are provided for transferring one pack (P) of slips at a time from the store (2) to the feed hopper (1), and which move the packs (P) parallel to one another, preferably along the said vertical plane. <IMAGE>
