For processing flat objects ( 10 ), in particular for packing printed products or small groups thereof, using a continuous packing material, the objects are conveyed in a conveying stream in which they are arranged in succession and essentially parallel to the conveying direction, and possibly between two layers of packing material, along a part of the periphery of a processing drum ( 1 ). The processing drum ( 1 ) has axially extending support elements ( 2 ) and tool elements ( 3 ) regularly alternating around its periphery. A radial position of the supporting and tool elements is adjustable, to accommodate varying formats of the objects to be processed. The processing drum also includes a pressing belt ( 4 ) extending from an entry point (A) to an exit point (B) on the drum periphery and holding and pressing the objects being conveyed on the drum periphery against the tool elements. To render further adjustments unnecessary when the radial position of the support and tool elements is changed, the pressing belt ( 4 ) is arranged to guide the objects on to and/or off the periphery of the processing drum. |
