Bundle composed of printed products and method for producing the bundle

摘要

A bundle of identical book blocks composed of a plurality of folded print sheets or signatures standing upright on lower edges of the printed sheets or book blocks. The book blocks are formed with first and last book block sections having different dimensions. A quadrangular bundle is formed from the book blocks by aligning first limit surfaces of the book block sections flush with each other along one of the two side surfaces or along the upper or lower surfaces of the bundle so that a second limit surface of the first book block section opposite the first limit surface of the first book block section projects with an offset with respect to a limit surface of the last book block section opposite the first limit surface of the last book block section. The bundle is compressed and then secured.

1. A method for producing a bundle composed of identical book blocks respectively including a plurality of print sheets or signatures standing upright on lower edges of the print sheets or signatures, comprising:
forming the book blocks with at least a first book block section and a last book block section having different dimensions from the first book block section and wherein the book block sections respectively have limit surfaces on the side surfaces or the upper or lower surfaces of the bundle to be formed; forming a quadrangular bundle from the book blocks having two end faces, two side surfaces and an upper and a lower surface, by aligning first limit surfaces of the book block sections flush with each other along one of the two side surfaces or along the upper or lower surfaces of the bundle so that a second limit surface of the first book block section which is arranged opposite the first limit surface of the first book block section projects with an offset with respect to a limit surface of the last book block section that is arranged opposite the first limit surface of the last book block section; compressing the aligned book blocks of the bundle; and securing the position of the compressed book blocks in the bundle.
