An insert for a curved guide of a band-width-adjustable banderoling machine, which allows an adjustment of the curved guide to bands of different, desired widths, the curved guide mounted on the banderoling machine having a clear opening and outer dimensions and comprising a band guiding surface restricted on a first side and unrestricted on a second side, wherein
a) the insert has a clear opening which is larger than or equal to the clear opening of the curved guide and, in the assembled state, is arranged in alignment with the clear opening of the curved guide,
b) the insert has a restriction surface which, in the assembled state, is intersected by a continuation of the band guiding surface, and
