A dispensing device includes a holder and a dispensing element accommodated in the holder and having a strip of carrier material and labels detachably attached to the strip. The holder has at least two transverse walls connected to each other. At least one of the walls has at least one opening for passing the dispensing element. Two walls of the holder have at least one opening for passing the strip of carrier material. The strip of carrier material between the two openings runs in a relatively sharply curved manner, so that as a result of the relatively sharp curvature the labels are released from the. The invention further relates to a holder intended for the dispensing device, and also to a flat blank for production of the holder.
