Flat items (2) which have an irregular and/or changeable thickness profile a re individualized from a substantially lying stack (3/5), wherein the stack serves as buffer between the individualization and the supply of the items (2) and wherein the items (2) arranged in the stack are guided in a stack channel (1) towards th e individualization. In order to allow individualization speeds in the range o f several tens of thousands of items per hour, the items (2) are supplied to a pre-sta ck (3) in which the items are conveyed towards individualization in a loose order and being individually laterally guided, the pre-stack (3) is transformed into an individualizing stack (5) and the items are individualized only from the individualizing sta ck (5). In the individualizing stack (5) the items (2) are guided and conveyed and held in a stable order as a stack, i.e. with forces transmitted via the items. The pre - stack (3) takes over the buffer function and therefore comprises a substantially freel y selectable number of items (2) which varies within wide limits. The number o f items (2) in the individualizing stack (5) is considerably smaller and is kept constant within tight limits.
