摘要

A method for applying at least one strip section to a flat product composition wherein a strip section or an individual element of a specified length is provided and subsequently applied around a selected edge of the product composition, in a perpendicular manner with respect to said edge so as to rest against the product composition. A reliable operation that is independent of the type of the strip is achieved in that the selected edge of the product composition is moved forward along a transporting path, the strip section is held ready at a specified point of the transporting path so as to intersect the transporting path, the selected edge of the product composition is moved past the specified point, and at the same time the selected edge drives the strip section that is held ready.
