The application relates to a method for zigzag folding a material web, the method having the following steps: continuously feeding a material web (2) to be folded into a folding apparatus (1) along a feed direction, alternately gripping the material web (2) in a proximal region (3) of the folding apparatus (1) by means of gripping devices (4, 5), holding and conveying the material web (2) by means of the gripping devices (4, 5) into a distal region (8) of the folding apparatus (1), the material web (2) being zigzag folded thereby, and releasing the material web (2) from the gripping devices (4, 5) and depositing the material web (2) in a stack (9) with folds in the distal region (8), a distance between adjacent gripping devices (4, 5) being equal to a fold length. Furthermore, the application also relates to an apparatus for zigzag folding a material web. |
