A stream of flat articles is to comprise imbricated formations (26.1, 26.2, 26.3) of different article types (A, B, C) and differing numbers of articles of the different types. For establishing such a stream, a succession of supply means (23.1, 23.2, 23.3) and a conveying surface are provided, the supply means being equipped for preparing the imbricated formations (26.1, 26.2, 26.3) and for depositing whole preformed inbricated formations on the conveying surface. A device for establishing the stream of flat articles comprises a main conveyor (21) with the conveyin g surface (21) and for each supply means (23.1, 23.2, 23.3) an article source (25) and an intermediate conveyor (24), wherein the supply means are controlled independently of each other and wherein the intermediate conveyor (24) and the article source (25) of one supply means may be driven independently of one another. The established stream is in particular suitable for being supplied to a stacking device, wherein the stacks produced in the stacking device are to contain printed products of different types.
