For stacking flat articles (2), a stacking shaft (10) including a pusher (11) for removing stacks from the shaft is used and for supplying the articles (2) into the stacking shaft (10) a supply support (12) is used. The supply support (12) is oriented towards the opening of the stacking shaft (10) at an inclination from above and the completed stacks (1) are pushed out in a direction opposite the supply direction. With this arrangement, it is possible to resume the supply operation after an interruption necessary for the pushing-out, before the stack (1) is pushed out of the stacking shaft (10) completely, and thereby results in very short cycle times. The stacking method is suitable in particular for stacking folded printed products being supplied in the supply stream parallel to their folded edges.
